My attachment-focused therapy style strives to heal emotional wounds, both past and present, by examining one’s earliest relationships. As an attachment-trauma therapist, I will help you process the emotions from early or later trauma in order to strengthen your sense of self, safety, and belonging.

As a single mother who adopted my daughter internationally, I understand how attachment trauma impacts us as children , and later as adults.

I work best with people who have difficulty connecting how their current role relates to a personal problem. If you often respond to stressful situations in similar ways with little resolve and are left feeling misunderstood (anxious) and/or alone (depressed), this is an example of learned behaviors that becomes more casual for people over time. I one-on-one coach to promote change and help develop realistic tools that assist you in-the-moment as a life event unfolds. Using a straightforward approach I can improve your insight, discourage old habits and improve your personal control.
