When working with adults, I focus on exploring past experiences to understand how they shape present thoughts and emotions. I also help clients identify unconscious patterns that may influence their emotional well-being, guiding them toward greater self-awareness, healing, and inner peace. When working with children, I aim to support emotional recognition and regulation, teach grounding strategies, and help them navigate common childhood transitions such as new family dynamics, school changes, peer conflicts, and academic stress.

I wonder if you are here because you continue to find yourself playing out the same behaviors and relational patterns over and over and over again and feel like you are stuck. Typically we learn shame from our past relationships or even a negative relationship to self. You may find yourself in the debilitating cycle of addiction, buried in shame and hitting the same wall again and again. It’s a difficult venture to pursue something other, something new. Finding peace and healing can be excruciating, but we can find true beauty from ashes and create a different narrative to your life journey.

Accepting new clients! I enjoy working with clients motivated for treatment, open-minded, and have often felt misunderstood or dismissed in the past. They are ready to engage in therapy, explore new perspectives, and make meaningful changes in their lives. Many seek support for OCD, anxiety, phobias, or related challenges and want practical tools to manage distress while living more fully. I provide an empathetic, supportive space, but I also challenge clients to learn, grow, and stretch beyond old patterns so they can achieve lasting change.

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.
