Each of us have beliefs and experiences that impact our ability to form meaningful relationships, accomplish goals, or accept ourselves. My hope is to help the individuals, couples and families I work with challenge these negative beliefs and guide them in using skills to develop a stronger sense of self and more stable relationships.

Largely, I utilize
Attachment-Based
Family Therapy, an empirically validated treatment for depression and suicidality.
***2 Openings Available*** I believe relationships are the most potent development and protective context for development; as such I view relationship as the primary source of strength and healing. I help couples and families to improve communication and trust to buffer against depression, suicide, and many other stressors. Couple and families that want to feel closer to one another and address the behaviors, depression, suicidality keeping them apart should feel hope and support through our work--we will specifically target the causes and consequences of these issues.

Uncertainty is inevitable but suffering doesn't have to be. There is a pathway forward through the distress of disconnection, grief and loss, faith transitions, and anxiety. Transforming painful feelings of inadequacy, unworthiness, or unmet needs can occur by creating connections through emotional processing. Therapy is tailored to your specific goals and needs with: deepening relational connection, anxiety, addictions, grief/loss, faith transition, emotional challenges, and family therapy. Creating a validating and respectful therapeutic experience is central to inviting growth and change.

I typically follow
attachment-based
therapy models.
We all experience difficult times in life, and we all need connection through relationships. I believe therapy is one avenue to process and explore painful situations while working on improving relationships with partners, parents, children, etc. Our experiences impact how we communicate and perceive others’ messages.

The main modalities I use in therapy include Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Compassion Focused therapy,
Attachment-Based
Family Therapy, and general mindfulness practices.
Much of what life brings to us is unexpected and even painful. If you are feeling stuck, lost, or realizing something needs to change in your life, I am here to help you through the process. It can be intimidating to try to face problems alone and make sense of them. This is why I believe it is so important to approach struggles from a place of compassion, understanding and openness. It is my experience that, given the right resources and tools, people can be resilient and have the ability to gain strength through challenges and thrive.

Therapy, Sand Tray, Play Therapy, IFS, and Client Center Therapy.
You may have noticed most days, you feel “blah” and have low motivation to do much of anything. Sometimes you just don’t feel like yourself and don’t know what to do to change—simple tasks like making your lunch even feel hard. Perhaps you experienced past traumatic events which left you feeling edgy, irritable, and having difficulty sleeping with frequent nightmares. It’s creating conflict in close relationships, and you don’t know how to resolve issues with your partner or family. I can help! Helping others unlock their authentic self is what I do best.

I am passionate about breaking down the stigmas surrounding mental health. So often we find ourselves with negative thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, others, or the world around us that hold us back from understanding and seeing who we really are and what we can become. I seek to help individuals to break down their negative and distorted thinking so they can see themselves and the world around them in a more healthy and positive way. I enjoy working with older teenagers to young adults who struggle with a range of anxiety, depression, and negative views of self.

I like to come at therapy kind of like I would a drummer at a jam session. I'm there to find a groove with another voice. I want to communicate with you and help you to open up and learn to express yourself. We will seek understanding first and then we will find a way to encourage healing and growth that is unique to you and builds a stronger identity. I am strengths-based and I like to find existing skills to help a client build a new way of thinking and interacting with their body. This is also a very effective way of beginning the process of healing symptoms of PTSD in conjunction with other evidence based trauma treatments.

I strive to be relationship focused in all I do as a counselor, even in my individual work. I believe the research and have observed how loneliness hurts: we thrive when connected and struggle when isolated. I utilize EFT and the Gottman Method with couples; I focus on family work with children because individual play therapy is often unhelpful, in the long-term; Filial Play Therapy and PCIT are my favorites models for parents with their children. I utilize ACT and Arbinger principles in most of my work. I foster connections with my clients but especially between clients and their people, including their spiritual Connection.

I am a narcissist survivor. I returned to college in my mid forties to get my degrees. I understand single motherhood, divorce, trauma and the heartache of feeling alone and unimportant. Sometimes, life is hard and unfair. My decades of personal experience give me deep empathy for my clients. I found my way back to mental health and a healthy marriage through good and directive therapy. I found freedom from depression and trauma, learned to use my voice and my power and blend a family. I understand the basics of good relationships and can help empower you in finding peace by changing your circumstances.

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.
