I work best with people who are highly motivated for personal growth and self discovery even if it is painful at times. I have a non-judgmental and empathic engagement style - placing emphasis on the therapeutic relationship itself. Most of my clients are looking to gain deeper insight into themselves, recognizing and changing internal thought and behavioral patterns, discovering the true depths of their feelings, and create new tools or skills to cope with speed and stress of modern day life. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, transitions, shame, relational dynamics, Autism, and identity. Email is best way to reach me.

I utilize mindfulness and attachment-based strategies, as well as acceptance and commitment therapy.
It takes great courage to seek out support as we experience life's challenges and changes. Therapy both supports us through these times and also emphasizes our own growth and well-being along the way. I take a person-centered trauma-informed approach to therapy and enjoy working with both adolescents and adults. I am passionate about creating a safe environment where you can navigate current stressors, gain insight into how early life experiences and present behaviors impact you, as well as build empowerment and autonomy. Together, we can lead you to living a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

In my work with couples, I use Gottman Method Couples Therapy (level three trained) and attachment-based interventions (EFT).
You are feeling alone and overwhelmed. You are anxious and the negative thoughts in your head are becoming louder and more difficult to control. Your sleep is poor and when you wake you feel tired already. You want help from a holistic perspective. I will teach you how to manage your mind and your nervous system so that you can function better during the day and sleep well at night. I will help you heal the root causes of your anxiety. Your relationships and your health will improve. A "fresh look" look at your difficulties might bring hope into a situation that you have considered to be hopeless.

I am no longer practicing, having transitioned employment. I treat everything from stress, life changes, and the search for meaning and happiness to addiction (alcohol and other use disorders), anxiety disorders, specific phobias, and depressive disorders. The change factor in therapy varies. Sometimes we are too stuck in our own thinking or are lost in our emotions. Sometimes we flee from pain, and sometimes we need to create new meaning. Change occurs when we risk navigating our inner and outer worlds differently, and repeat this process until it becomes second-nature. This isn't easy, and takes time, but is very doable.

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.
