Have you been feeling disconnected from yourself, your relationships, or your sense of intimacy?

When life feels stressful or uncertain, relationships strained, or emotions heightened, we often slip into autopilot. Under pressure, old patterns like anxiety, self-criticism, anger, or shutdown can take over, pulling us away from our values, the life we want to live, and the people we care about most. While anxiety, conflict, and the challenges of ADHD can be painful, they may also be invitations to discover, or rediscover, other ways of being. Therapy offers space to become more connected to ourselves and others, and more intentional in how we move through the world.

My role as a therapist is to help you navigate life's challenges. Therapy is an opportunity to explore parts of yourself that might be causing distress. It allows you the ability to process and release emotions that have previously caused you to feel stuck, to recognize patterns in behavior and relationships over time, and to assert your needs in order to feel safe. My approach is relational and psychodynamic and I work from the understanding that our earliest attachments inform the way we engage in our present day relationships.

I am a true believer that we are spiritual beings that are having physical experiences. At times, these physical experiences can cause us to feel detached from community with ourselves, our family members, and friends. This detachment can bring about feelings and emotions that are difficult to sit with. Feelings like sadness, worry, hopelessness, confusion, and emptiness. These feelings are normal and my goal is to create a safe space for you to find your way back to community through humanizing your experiences; to use your strengths along with the resources around you to make that journey seem more possible.

Two minds together are greater than the sum of their parts. So psychoanalysis combines our nonjudgmental curiosity to aid your suffering, needs, and questions. Whether over video or in-person, psychotherapy is a co-creative process and our art is language. The way you speak isn’t random but meaningful. Language tells me how you think, how your unique mind has evolved, how it suffers, and how the tendrils of the past influence your present. Some people seek therapy to address a discrete issue, other’s come for more elusive suffering and seek an open-ended inquiry into their life. I am here for both.

Attachment-based Therapists
Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?
Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.
What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?
Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.
How long does attachment-based therapy last?
Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.
Does attachment-based therapy work?
Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
