About
Are you struggling with instability in relationships or feeling unclear about your direction in life? Many of the challenges we face in adulthood are deeply rooted in early attachment experiences. I specialize in attachment-based therapy to help you understand your relational patterns, explore your attachment style, and build what’s known as earned security: a lasting sense of safety, trust, and emotional resilience. I help clients repair attachment wounds, navigate relationship challenges, and break chronic emotional patterns. This often includes experiences like anxiety, depression, intimacy issues, addiction, or dissociation. Together, we’ll re-map early conditioning and build secure, connected ways of relating. I invite you to begin a journey of deep healing and personal transformation. With the right support, meaningful change is not only possible—it’s entirely within reach. If you feel ready to take the first step, I offer a complimentary 25-minute consultation. I’d be delighted to connect with you. Specialties: I specialize in treating attachment disturbances and their manifestations, including substance use, dissociation, relational challenges, difficulty coping, eating disorders, as well as generalized anxiety and depression.
"Our work together will address the root of your attachment issues. We'll explore your past using gold standard Assessments, (AAI/AAP) and engage in attachment repair with the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol. In tandem, Schema Therapy tackles unhelpful patterns linked to your attachment style. Mindfulness will equip you with tools to manage emotions, building secure connections for a brighter future."
