Do you feel disconnected in your relationship? Do you feel stuck in this season with little hope of change? Are you able to be honest with yourself and your partner? It can be discouraging, as we all have a basic human need to be known and connected with others. I believe as we begin to discover, accept, and value our strengths, weaknesses, wants, and dreams, we are more equipped to accept and value our partner's. Taking time to understand ourselves enables us to communicate our needs more effectively and meet others needs more readily.

Most couples argue. What happens when you and your spouse disagree? Do you go round and round with no resolution? Or does one of you get frustrated and stop talking, then you both stop talking? If you're unable to resolve conflict, you may wonder if your relationship can be fixed. I have good news. Your relationship is not broken, but it is caught in a negative cycle. This negative cycle keeps you from being able to communicate, resolve conflict, and discuss problems. If your relationship is struggling, it is probably because you are caught in a negative cycle. I want to help you and your spouse overcome the negative cycle.

Life is hard! Whether it be stressors of everyday life, family or marital issues, school or work-related problems or because of recent or past trauma/grief, life can become messy. It gets hard not only for oneself, but also for loved ones or those around us. The reality is it happens to ALL of us. Sometimes all we need is for someone to listen with compassion and without judgment. Sometimes we require resources or coping strategies to help navigate the obstacles life throws at us. No matter what it is we need, therapy is the first step. Therapy equips us with the tools that we need to face whatever hardships we have.

You are created for connection. Each of us wants a place where we belong and feel most ourselves. Sometimes, even in families and romantic partnerships, loneliness and feelings of inadequacy can creep in causing you to feel insecure in your relationships. You rehearse your perceived mistakes and fall into a cycle of isolation and negative emotions. The more you fail, the more you internalize your failures and feel hopelessness and discouragement. I want to help you break free of hopelessness and experience a sustaining joy and peace in who you are, your purpose in life, and the value you bring to your relationships.

Throughout my life, I’ve had many experiences that contributed to my love of counseling and my role as a therapist, they have led to a passionate belief that everyone’s story is important and giving a voice to those stories is invaluable. I began my career as a teacher in the U.S. and abroad, and have over 15 years of experience in international non-profit work. I grew to love hearing other’s stories and saw the healing power of true relationships. I eventually returned to school to become a counselor and turned my passion into a path for healing, and I consider it an honor to do the work I do.

Do you know the feeling when you are carrying weight on your shoulders, attempting to live up to an expectation that was written for you, as you are not wanting to let yourself or those around you down? Do you feel as if society is expecting you to maintain a perfect lifestyle, leading to an unsurpassable amount of anxiety, which in return has begun impacting your relationship with yourself and others. You are fighting a battle of self-worth which has left you feeling empty and overwhelmed with fear and anxiety.

Have you been told you’re too sensitive or too emotional? You don't understand why your emotions feel so intense, why things bother you so much, or why you overthink and overanalyze. You wonder why life often feels so overwhelming and overstimulating. You think that if you could just be more like everyone else, life would be easier and things would improve. You long for close relationships but even that feels difficult and complicated at times. You want to understand why you are so different and you don't want life to feel so hard.

We live in a rapidly changing world fraught with many obstacles and adversities that challenge us and often leave us feeling defeated, insecure, uncertain, and/or inadequate. Grief, hopelessness, and apathy are prevalent in so many lives, blurring the ability to see happiness and blunting the presence of hope. Worse still is the growing sense of disconnection, loneliness, and (even) emotional isolation that many experience in a world that constantly whispers promises of bringing us closer together. If you are facing adversities, you don’t have to go at it alone.

In the midst of difficult times and challenges, we find opportunity. I believe that the moments we are pushed out of our comfort zone allow for personal growth and healing. I pull from several different approaches including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT). I find that this creates a unique counseling experience for each client and provides a collaborative environment to explore.

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.
