Have you noticed changes in your child’s behavior lately? Maybe they’ve become more defiant, withdrawn, or unmotivated. Perhaps school struggles, legal issues, or tension at home have left you feeling helpless and unsure of what to do next.
The child you once knew seems to have changed, and no matter how much you try to explain it, it feels like no one truly understands. You’ve done everything you can — but it seems like the system has given up.
You’re not alone. I’m here to help you and your child reconnect, rebuild trust, and restore hope. Healing and positive change are possible — and your child can be okay again.

Feeling anxious or depressed is often the result of chronic stress, unresolved trauma or grief. I work with adults who struggle with intense emotions or have coped through numbing them. Some suffer from physical discomfort or chronic pain, while others struggle in their relationships, or engage in behaviors that both soothe and hurt them. If that resonates with you, I would love to offer you my attention and guiding skills to help you explore and make sense of your inner experiences in order to heal wounds and access more calm, clarity, confidence, compassion, and connection with yourself and others, so that you may feel more alive!

I meet my clients where they are and I use a person-centered, humanistic approach to counseling. I prefer my clients to be collaborative where we decide on treatment goals together. My approach is to see clients weekly or bi-weekly because one or two sessions of counseling cannot really bring healing or wholeness to the issues occurring.
I see clients (in person or virtual) that have Aetna. I also offer sliding scale telehealth appointments. If you would like to set up an appointment for counseling, please use the email link or call the number listed.

Are you feeling trapped by the pressures and expectations placed on you? Have you lost your sense of self within all the roles you play for others?
The frustration, shame and anxiety is building up, but you feel like you have to "keep it together" for others. It's exhausting always minimizing yourself, and maybe it's starting to affect your relationships, mood and self esteem. The rest of your life doesn't have to feel like this. You can break unhelpful patterns, learn to hold self compassion and tame that inner critic. In our work together we will explore and identify how you can heal and grow into your true self.

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.
