Do you "know what to do" to feel better, yet you struggle to follow through? Have you been feeling unseen, stuck, or burnt out from always putting others first? You may know why you do these things (people pleasing, procrastinating, putting yourself last) but still find it hard to change. Maybe you’ve even tried therapy before and left feeling the same as when you started. If this resonates with you and you are ready to dig deeper than simply being "self aware", you've come to the right place.

Many people carry the weight of self-doubt, shame, and disconnection from their authentic selves. I’m passionate about helping people quiet their inner critic, cultivate self-compassion, and rebuild confidence and wholeness. I believe therapy should go beyond coping; it should be a safe, supportive space to be fully heard, develop practical tools using evidenced based approaches, and grow into a life that feels more grounded, empowered, and true to who you are. Not sure where to start with therapy? That’s completely okay. I invite you to reach out with any questions. I’m happy to chat about what therapy looks like.

I work primarily with children who are struggling to adjust to parental divorce, mood disorders, ADHD, grief, processing emotions, and learning how to regulate themselves. Children often want to find ways to be more independent, while parents often want to know how they can help their children through the various stressors of life. Sometimes parents may also have their own mental health needs in addition to juggling parenting and perhaps the same stressors as the kids. I am here to help collaboratively so that the entire family system can become more resilient and have a better quality of life.

You might be used to holding everything together, but still feel anxious, overwhelmed, or disconnected underneath. I work with adults whose past experiences continue to impact their ability to feel grounded, safe, or connected in the present. You may have experienced emotional, physical, or sexual abuse, or find yourself struggling with self-doubt, shame, or relationship difficulties without fully understanding why. My work is rooted in trauma therapy, where we explore how past experiences shape your beliefs about yourself, others, and the world—and begin to gently shift those patterns.

An ideal client is anyone that wants to understand their “why” and better themselves by first, validating their existence and purpose. I want to help people explore who they are, how to create work arounds and strategies for the things they struggle with and to teach them how to celebrate their very existence and reason.

Are you feeling like it’s hard to authentically be yourself or connect with others? As a relational therapist, I recognize that our connections are the basis of both the greatest struggles and the greatest rewards we can know as humans. I specialize in work with couples, families, and individuals who have "non-traditional" relationships and sexualities. My work with clients is open and collaborative, often using narrative therapy, EFT/attachment theory, and systems theory to help people flesh out their sense of identity and strengths. You can expect transparency, a culturally-attuned lens, and a little humor in therapy with me.

From there, I use humanistic and attachment-based frameworks, somatic experiencing, and EMDR — approaches that work with your nervous system, not against it.
You're doing everything — and somehow it still feels like not enough. Maybe motherhood hit differently than you expected, or the road to get here was harder than anyone warned you about. Maybe you can't quite name what's wrong, you just know something is. Whether you're in the thick of infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, or just trying to keep your head above water as a mom — this is a safe place to be honest about how hard it actually is.

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.
