Starting therapy for yourself, your child, or with your partner can feel daunting. By being here, you’ve already taken a meaningful first step. Together, we can work toward the changes and healing you’re hoping for.

How I Work

My work is grounded in attachment theory and informed by an integrated approach, drawing from multiple evidence-based approaches to best meet your needs. Ultimately, this means that we’ll collaborate to figure out what will work best for you in achieving your goals. Therapy with me is about blending insight and action. My goal is to help you lead a life that feels more empowered, fulfilled, emotionally stable, and connected.

Who I Work With

  • Adults

    So many people go through life feeling that in order to be seen, valued, and safe they have to bury their feelings and strive for perfection. They feel tense, lonely, depleted and stuck in this cycle of striving to be enough. It does not have to be like and I am here to help you start taking the steps to chart a new way forward.

  • Children & Adolescents

    One of the most important parts of my work with young people is creating a space that feels authentic and collaborative. Through genuine interest in what they like/who they are/what their day looks like, I create a space where they feel seen, secure and understood.

  • Parents & Families

    In my work with families, I focus on strengthening the bonds that create emotional security, resilience, self-esteem, and effective and satisfying interpersonal skills and patterns. Through an attachment-focused lens, we will explore the ways that a child’s behavior often is a form of communication.

  • Couples

    My work is based in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment focused model. I help partners understand painful patterns and shift them into more effective communication and deeper connection. This therapy offers a clear path toward healing and closeness, one step, and one conversation, at a time.
