As a therapist, I am passionate about working with people who are trying to make sense of the painful patterns in their lives. Often, the symptoms that bring people to therapy are an indication of deeper emotional wounds. The type of therapy I provide focuses on both resolving current symptoms and healing problematic relational patterns through the creation of a safe, consistent environment in which to understand the complexity of a person's experiences and history. Together we will work towards greater self-knowledge, compassion, and growth.

At some point, we often find ourselves struggling to get past a problem, whether that problem is with an important relationship, or an inner emotional struggle. I enjoy working with others to understand how one came to be in such conflict and how one can move from old ways of coping to newer healthier ways. I believe working from a relational perspective is an important way to create an atmosphere of trust. I strive to help my patients better understand their thoughts, feelings, and actions. The more we know about ourselves the more freedom we have to make better choices in work, play, and relationships.

You're considering therapy because something feels off. Maybe you're noticing more stress with your job, your relationship, or your family. You may feel uncomfortable sharing your concerns with your loved ones because you have to be the strong one. As a result, you're exhausted, disconnected, isolated, and overwhelmed.

Unresolved childhood trauma has a lingering impact. You may look back on certain events or relationships and feel overwhelmed by painful emotions, hurtful memories, and confusion. You might struggle to set boundaries, honor your values, express your needs, or be kind to yourself. Childhood trauma might also be a reason you feel stuck in relationship patterns, manage stress in unhealthy ways, feel disconnected from your body or emotions, or struggle with perfectionism and shame. If this is you, I'm so glad you are here. You deserve to heal, to feel safe, to be the one who decides how your life goes moving forward.

So often we walk through our days feeling disconnected from ourselves, our loved ones and our purpose. Your pain is real and present keeping you in a place that you would rather not be. This internal space can interfere in your personal, social and work life leaving you feeling even more alone. I know that struggle. Maybe this uneasy feeling began early in life, after a traumatic event or because of past relationships. Whatever the case, you can find your way. Things can be very challenging and there is no need to go at it alone. Let's talk about it.

Navigating the challenges of life can be incredibly demanding, and I wholeheartedly recognize the courage and vulnerability it takes to reach out for help. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of sitting with truly remarkable humans who come into my office and let down their guard to share their authentic emotions and experiences. It's remarkable that in the world outside my office, these individuals often seem to present with flawless life and to "have it all". Yet, in my office, they reveal the emotions they've felt compelled to conceal in their pursuit of seeming "enough."

I am an LPC and Registered Play Therapist with an Attachment based approach working with clients from 13-70+ years old utilizing attachment-based interventions.
Our first relationships are the foundation on which we build all future relationships. If our foundation is shaking, unreliable, or scary we develop a sense of disconnectedness or that we are in some way lacking. This feeling of vulnerability leads us to act in ways we don’t understand. Some may find themselves being overly clingy/controlling for fear that they may be left alone. Some have self-doubt leading to Anxiety, Depression, or addiction. While others shut themselves off from the world to protect themselves. We all have needs and it’s okay to have them met but how we do that can be more destructive than helpful.

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.
