I have been helping folks get unstuck and regain or find their HOPE and their WHY my whole career. Whether I am working with children, adolescents, adults or my fellow/sister clinicians the work is the same. We all just take different routes to get to the top of the mountain. Motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and structural family therapy provide the backbone of my practice. I have witnessed and celebrated with people as they have made the most incredible recoveries and been in awe as others have somehow withstood what seemed unbearable grief.

My ideal client is someone that is trying to figure out how to thrive in their life. Building deeper understanding of how their past is connected to their current and future self. My client wants to feel better, have deeper connections and find their own happiness. Often my client sees the good in others and will bend over backward for their family, friends and coworkers, but finds, it’s hard to treat themselves as well as everyone else. My client might also be a family member of a service member, or a service member or veteran themselves, trying to wrestle with the intricacies of military culture, deployments, high ops tempo…

I am a psychotherapist who works with grief, life transitions, and chronic pain. With my background as a medical social worker in both hospice and home health, I have seen how my clients’ experiences were often isolating and mentally draining. The losses that come with any life changes, even “good” ones, are not always obvious. In order to help my clients create a path forward, I take a constructivist approach and pull from a variety of modalities, including ACT, narrative therapy and attachment-based therapy. If you think I would be a good fit for you or have any questions, please feel free to reach out for a consultation.

I can offer parts work, narrative exploration, and attachment-based frameworks in our sessions.
Accepting new clients! I believe in the transformational power of the therapeutic relationship. We all face overwhelming or confusing times in our lives, where we may feel like we can’t catch a break. Whatever the circumstances, having someone on our side while we explore our thoughts, feelings, and needs can make all the difference.

My approach is rooted in attachment-based counseling, where we explore how early relationships shape our sense of self and our connections with others.
Life can sometimes leave us feeling stuck, especially when we’re navigating significant changes, evolving identities, or adapting to new environments and relationships. These transitions can feel isolating and overwhelming, causing us to lose touch with who we are. But in these moments, there is also potential for healing and growth. I specialize in supporting those facing such transitions, including Third Culture Kids (TCKs), adult TCKs, military families, international adoptees, college students, immigrants, and individuals navigating cross-cultural experiences.

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.
