We learn how to see, value and trust ourselves and others based on how our caregivers saw, valued and were honest with us. When that relationship has been broken in any way, we develop an attachment wound. This break could have come in many forms, neglect, abuse, emotional and physical absence or inconsistent nurturing. As adults we act out our wounds in our daily lives. This leads to an inability to form healthy, connected and valuable relationships with ourselves and others. The impact of this is depression, anxiety, personality issues, trauma responses and a myriad of other issues.

Do you spend time thinking about the past or constantly worried about the future? Do you seek to know yourself better? I help people change the habits and behaviors that are not serving them, so they can lead more peaceful and balanced lives here in the present moment. We will work together to understand how your past informs who you are now, but does not define it. I help clients identify their negative thinking patterns that have kept them stuck in their lives. Together we will generate new, rational alternatives that will help you gain perspective about the life you want to be living.

You've had the same argument three nights in a row. Or maybe you're not arguing much anymore but feel more like roommates than partners. Somewhere between work, parenting, life transitions, and the noise of everyday life, the connection that once felt natural is now harder to find. I use Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples slow reactive cycles, understand what’s happening beneath conflict, and change the way they respond to each other in moments of stress and disconnection. We'll work to reduce conflict, rebuild emotional safety, and strengthen closeness and partnership in your relationship.
