My goal as a therapist is to meet clients where they are and walk alongside them on their journey to find peace and healing in a non-judgmental, safe space. We all suffer and have struggles, but we each have the capacity for growth and building a life that promotes health and well-being. I see the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative partnership that supports and empowers individuals to heal mind, body, and spirit, freeing themselves from past and present pain to create lasting positive change. My desire is to help others gain the tools and confidence to face and overcome life’s challenges long after therapy ends.

Starting therapy can feel like an intimidating experience and finding a therapist you can connect with is so important! I am a somatic trauma focused psychotherapist. I'm known for my empathic, engaged, and assertive nature. Often our bodies are communicating with us and we have severed that connection. In creative and supportive ways I will guide you back to understanding emotion and feeling safe enough to experience and release emotion.

Specializing in complex trauma and chronic childhood traumatization, I am a Emdria Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, and teach EMDR nationally with the EMDR Institute as a Facilitator. EMDR is the top choice of the World Health Organization for trauma, given both research validation, and EMDR's ability to heal without clients re-living or speaking excessively about terrible events. Integration of other methods such as Ego State Therapy enables me to treat the complex trauma spectrum, from CPTSD to dissociative disorders. Many treatment-resistant or confusing symptoms are the result of complex trauma. I treat all ages.

Together we can reduce or manage your symptoms using Attachment-based, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Dialectical Behavior (DBT,) Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Play Therapy and Trauma Focused.
Therapy is typically viewed as something that is challenging and scary. However, I want to help clients see that therapy doesn't have to be challenging and scary yet, it's something that everyone can benefit from. In life we all can face obstacles, some small while others can be life changing. Life changing enough that it can effect how we perceive, people, places, things, and even how we perceive the world. When we get to this point many of us don't know how to cope with the struggles life brings. It is important for us to find peace within ourselves by learning who we are, how things affect us and understanding what we need.

Because of this, it is essential you feel comfortable with your therapist. Research suggest that a good working relationship with your therapist is the most important factor in judging whether or not therapy is effective. This is the primary reason I offer a free phone consultation. Please call and ask any questions you have! I welcome the opportunity to work with you and your family and want to make sure you feel it is a good fit.

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.
