Therapy can be beneficial for dealing with the challenges of life; both the ongoing and the sudden. You may be feeling lost, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied; maybe you have stubborn patterns, or you want to get to know yourself a little more. I will work with you where you are at, using various approaches from CBT, Mindfulness, Existentialism and traditional psychotherapeutic methods. Sometimes, we will laugh or cry; some sessions will feel supportive, and others, frank and challenging. I encourage you to bring your whole self to the sessions, ask whatever you want, and risk going to uncomfortable places.

I enjoy working with children, adults, couples and families who are seeking support with relationships, managing emotion, co-parenting and navigating the obstacles of everyday life. Transitions can be challenging whether it be starting a new grade, adjusting to divorce, or leaving home to begin college. Mental health issues can complicate productivity making it difficult to experience happiness, joy and success. I enjoy working with the complex dynamics of couples and families. This might include helping children to improve peer or sibling relationships, adjust to a parent's divorce, or navigate their own powerful emotions.

Often, they've spent years trying to understand themselves and have gained valuable insight, but still find themselves getting stuck in the same patterns.

I believe there's a reason for the ways we learn to cope, survive, and move through the world—even if those patterns & behaviors don't ultimately serve us.

I work with teens and adults navigating trauma, C-PTSD, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and questions of identity and belonging. I especially enjoy working with neurodivergent, creative, & spiritual individuals who seek deeper self-understanding, healing, and growth.

You are exhausted of feeling and thinking the same way. You are someone who wants to change but doesn’t know where to start. You notice your relationships are being affected. You say "I'm fine" but feel the opposite. You find yourself saying you have a "complicated" relationship with your parent(s). You are a person of color and/or queer individual who feels frustrated, sad, or maybe even confused at the state of the world. I will help you “feel lighter”, break patterns, connect with your feelings, discover your values and how to live them out in your relationships, and make the changes necessary to embrace your authentic self.

Are you constantly overthinking your decisions and feeling guilty no matter what you choose? Maybe you feel stuck between what you want and what’s expected of you—whether that’s from family, culture, or relationships. You might be used to being the “good daughter” or “good son,” but underneath that, you feel unsure of yourself or disconnected from who you are. You want to feel more confident, set boundaries without guilt, and trust your decisions without second-guessing. You deserve a space where your experiences are understood and where you can start choosing yourself.

Many of the women who find me look like they’re holding it all together.
They are capable, thoughtful, and used to being the one everyone relies on. They are professionals, mothers, partners, and caretakers. From the outside, their lives appear stable.
But inside, something feels stretched too thin.
They are mentally exhausted from carrying the invisible labor of their lives and families. They feel responsible for everyone’s emotional climate. They rarely have space to think about themselves. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, resentment, burnout, loss of identity, or the quiet feeling they’ve disappeared inside their roles.

I utilize mindfulness and attachment-based modalities, including ACT and IFS-informed approaches.
I work with adults and adolescents processing trauma, struggling with their sense of self, navigating complicated family dynamics, and working to heal their "too much" wound (the deeply held belief that one's feelings, needs, or personality is "too much.") Many of my clients have big personalities, deep emotions, and a history of feeling misunderstood, minimized, or asked to make themselves smaller. My goal is to help folks build insight and psychological flexibility, identify their strengths, inner conflicts, and adaptations, develop self-compassion and understanding, and build a more harmonious inner world.

I heard many years ago a professor make this foundational statement of truth about counseling–human beings are wounded in relationship, so it is in relationship that we are healed. Through the intervening years, in practice as well as in life, I have seen this truth play out again and again–it is relationship, fundamentally within ourselves, that serves as the agent of healing, growth, and positive change. As a clinician, it has become a primary focus of my practice to establish and maintain a relationship of compassionate curiosity, caring, and trust within which clients can explore and heal the pain that brings them to therapy.

Struggling to keep it together in your personal life? As a high-achieving woman, you’ve mastered your career and finances, yet relationships feel like the hardest part. Unpredictable friendships, challenging partners, and/or unsupportive family dynamics leave you feeling exhausted, anxious, and longing for peace. You deserve connections that uplift and support you.

Every life transition pushes us to change. Nobody asks if we’re ready. It’s non negotiable. Tragedy? That happens to “them”. “We don’t know those ppl, we don’t even know people that know those people -the victims & their families.”. Then one day it comes for our loved ones; for us.

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.
