Great to meet you!

I work with clients on changing the dynamics within strained relationships, whether they are between married couples, romantic partners, and between parents and children. I can support you in finding space in these relationships so you don’t feel overwhelmed by how others make you feel.

I have 7 years of experience working at agency that takes an attachment-based approach to child abuse and neglect. While children made up the bulk of my clients, most of the work was with parents who experienced abuse and neglect themselves and needed support in being attachable to their children as well as to partners and friends.

My approach to therapy

My specialty is attachment therapy. While I draw on many different treatment models, building healthy relationships for my clients is the main goal. Specifically, I work with clients on exploring patterns in their early family life, setting healthy boundaries, and developing emotional regulation.

What you can expect from me

I want my clients to tell me the first thing on their mind during the first session. Often it is something that is stressful to them that connects to so many other facets of their lives. By picking one particular issue and going deep, I find that my clients don't feel overwhelmed by have to solve all of their problems on the first day.
