Great to meet you!

Hello! I am an Attachment based therapist and I find it an honor to be on the journey to self discovery with my clients. Walking along side someone (figuratively) while they create a better understanding to their self and how to live this thing we call life is what motivates and drives me.

My approach to therapy

Although attachment is my main lens, I am well versed in many styles and approaches of therapy. I like to find the language that works best between us to meet my clients where they are at and guide them.

What you can expect from me

In a first session, I want to ease any anxiety about the therapy process and begin to understand how I might best be of help. We can determine some goals for therapy and find what is most immediately needed to address in the client’s life.
