My practice philosophy is rooted in the understanding that talk-therapy unearths invaluable information about our behaviors and problems and that this information can make healing possible. I take traditional talk-therapy one step further, addressing all aspects of the individual while keeping mental health center-stage.

I approach therapy with curiosity, connection, insight, acceptance, compassion, and a splash of humor. I aim to create an environment where you can feel safe to explore, discover and embrace your truest and best self. I believe an essential task of therapy is to foster reflection in order to develop self-awareness, leading to a greater ability to adaptively and effectively navigate life. I primarily practice therapy through a relational and
attachment-based
psychodynamic lens. I believe that the relationship dynamics you have with yourself and with others are the primary factors in both emotional well-being and emotional distress.

I work from an
Attachment-based
approach, and explore patterns that get in the way of living the life you desire.
Are you feeling overwhelmed, struggling with relationships or dealing with a big life transition? Are you feeling helpless or wondering if your life will ever get back on track? When these challenges arise, every aspect of your life can be negatively impacted. By exploring more fully these experiences and gaining a greater understanding of yourself, you can begin to heal. This might include a fresh look at your job, key relationships, and whether or not you are clear on how you want to live your life. This exploration can lead to greater self esteem, more meaningful relationships and hope for the future.

I do this by taking a relational,
attachment-based
approach to therapy while folding in acceptance and mindfulness skills-based work as needed.
In an era where we’re bombarded with self-love messaging from all sides, too many of us are left to struggle with the nagging question: “But how do I love myself?” Some of us—especially those carrying marginalized identities—were never taught. Instead, we were given life scripts urging us to make ourselves small and focus solely on the ways we come up short. The fact that you’ve taken this step to find support is a pivotal moment; you’re acknowledging that you deserve better, and you’re willing to do the work to get there. I’d love to help you with that.

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.
