Do you feel like you have talked through everything but still don't feel better? Are you a motivated client or couple looking to shift patterns no longer serving you? I enjoy meeting clients in this space of healing, utilizing EMDR to help shift prior trauma, negative beliefs, anxieties and more. I encourage you to reach out, and explore through a free consultation how a holistic approach to healing may help you. Taking a more body focused and holistic approach to healing can lead to a more comprehensive and long lasting healing. I enjoy working with teens up through adults, individuals and couples from an attachment based lens.

I utilize a variety of interventions including Brainspotting, breathwork, mindfulness, somatic techniques, 12-step work and attachment-based interventions to support you in finding ease.
Trauma and adverse life experiences can often leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, our bodies and our instincts. In an effort to cope, we develop strategies that while once helpful to us in moments of stress, may now be limiting. These strategies can show up as perfectionism, people-pleasing, substance use or self abandonment. In therapy, my focus is to help you reconnect with your inner wisdom by healing past wounds, building a kinder relationship with yourself and tuning into the wisdom of the body. From this place, you can embrace life more fully and experience real relief.

I integrate attachment-based interventions and somatic exercises from a trauma-informed lens within the models of Solution-Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy.
I hear folks on my therapy couch often ask these questions: "Why can't I get a hold on these anxious feelings?" "Why am I still repeating these same patterns?" "Why does (experience) bring up so much (emotion) for me?" I help adults and adolescents (16+) translate this curiosity into insight to develop emotion regulation skills, a sense of self rooted in integrity instead of shame, and more mindfulness in their relationships. I work mostly with anxiety, LGBTQIA+ issues, depression, emotion regulation difficulty, relationship issues, spirituality, and grief, including “identity grief” (grieving the life we thought we’d live).

Hello and welcome! I am so glad you’re here. I recognize that finding a new therapist takes courage. My primarily goal is to create a calm, safe, non-judgmental space where every part of you feels welcomed.

Therapy is an incredible tool for restoring your sense of self and healing the parts of you that experience pain.

If you tell yourself: “I can’t keep living like this,” we'll be a good fit. I specialize in individuals, couples, and families who've been impacted by suicidal thoughts and related concerns, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and identity-related stress (gender, sexual orientation, ethnic/racial). These people are cycle-breakers who want to change old family patterns; stonecatchers who try to protect others from mistreatment because they know how it feels; or those who are simply tired of feeling “just ok.” Ultimately I blend the nerdy science of psychology with humility and humor to support you in building a more meaningful life.

Are you exploring your identities outside the limitations of who you grew up being taught you were "allowed" to be? Maybe you are curious about neurodivergence and want to understand yourself more deeply. Maybe you are queer and haven't found a therapist you feel safe with yet.

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.
