‍ ‍Compassionate, evidence-based therapy, tailored to you.

  • Individual therapy offers a dedicated space to focus on yourself and your well-being. It’s an opportunity to work through life’s changes, build stronger connections with others, and establish boundaries that support your growth.

    Together, we’ll explore your inner world, deepen your self-understanding, and uncover the patterns behind your thoughts and behaviors.

    My goal is to help you feel grounded and connected to who you are, so you can face life’s challenges with confidence and trust in your ability to navigate them.

    It’s easy to think you should be able to handle everything on your own, but no one is meant to do this alone. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and begin to heal, where you’re met with compassion, not judgment.

    In our work, we’ll gently explore the roots of your pain while also creating space for growth, resilience, and meaning.  Therapy becomes a place where you can gain insight, reconnect with yourself, and begin to move through life with greater clarity.

    Couples Therapy:

    Using an attachment-based approach, I help couples better understand the emotional patterns beneath conflict so they can reconnect with greater trust, safety, and intimacy. Together, we explore how each partner’s attachment experiences shape communication, emotional needs, and relationship dynamics, creating space for deeper understanding, more secure connection, and lasting change.

    Whether you feel stuck in recurring arguments, emotionally disconnected, or unsure how to communicate effectively, therapy can help you move away from blame and defensiveness toward more honest, compassionate connection. My goal is to help both partners feel seen, understood, and supported in building a healthier, more secure relationship.

  • Seeing your teen struggle can feel overwhelming, for both of you, especially when you see parts of your own challenges reflected in them.

    You want to support them, but it’s not always clear how. As children grow into adolescence, they may pull away or seem less willing to listen, leaving you feeling unsure of your role.

    It doesn’t have to stay this way.

    I’ve worked with teens and families navigating mental health challenges, using a trauma-informed approach that integrates mind-body awareness with evidence-based practices. My approach centers on the whole person, not just symptoms.

    Many teens come to therapy feeling unsure or hesitant, and that’s okay. My priority is to create a safe, supportive space where your teen feels understood.

    From there, we build trust, explore what’s beneath the overwhelm, and develop practical tools to help them feel more in control.

  • Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re struggling to connect with your child or feeling unsure of how to respond to challenging behaviors. Using a compassionate approach grounded in Triple P, attachment-based therapy, and reflective parenting techniques, I help parents build stronger, more secure relationships with their children while developing practical tools for everyday challenges. Together, we’ll explore your child’s emotional needs, strengthen communication, and create more confidence and connection in your role as a parent.

    The Positive Parenting Program (Triple P) is a highly respected, evidence-based approach designed to support parents in raising confident, emotionally healthy children while strengthening family relationships. As a therapist offering Positive Parenting Program (Triple P), I provide parents with practical tools that are proven to create meaningful, lasting change.

    I use scientifically validated strategies to help parents better understand child behavior and respond effectively, reducing stress and uncertainty in parenting.

    Build Positive Parent–Child Relationships

    At its core, Triple P focuses on strengthening connection. In our work, parents learn how to foster warmth, trust, and open communication, creating a secure emotional foundation that supports children’s development.

    Learn practical Tools for Everyday Challenges

    I support parents with learning clear, actionable strategies they can use immediately. Whether it’s managing tantrums, improving bedtime routines, or addressing challenging behaviors, parents leave sessions with tools that work in real life.

    Promote Children’s Emotional and Behavioral Wellbeing

    Research shows that Triple P helps reduce common behavioral issues such as aggression, defiance, and anxiety. At the same time, it supports children in developing self-regulation, resilience, and social skills.

    Reduce Parenting Stress and Increases Confidence

    Parents often report feeling more calm, capable, and confident after engaging in Triple P. By learning consistent and effective strategies, they gain a greater sense of control and enjoyment in their parenting role.

  • Beyond my clinical practice, I have been supervising psychology and social work interns since 2009, as well as providing consultation to LCSW’s and Psychologists looking to deepen their clinical skills.

    I value supporting therapists in strengthening their clinical work by helping them become more authentic in the therapy room, work thoughtfully with transference, integrate multiple theoretical orientations, and build both confidence and clinical competence.

My Approach

  • In practice, I use an attachment-focused lens to create a strong therapeutic alliance, as the relationship between therapist and client becomes a corrective emotional experience.

    I prioritize consistency, attunement, and emotional safety, helping clients feel seen, understood, and supported. This foundation allows clients to explore vulnerabilities and process past relational injuries.

    Attachment-Focused treatment is grounded in the principles of Attachment Theory, which emphasizes the importance of early relationships in shaping emotional regulation, interpersonalfunctioning, and internal working models of self and others.

    In my work, I draw on these principles to understand how clients’ early attachment experiences influence their current patterns in relationships, including trust, intimacy, and responses to stress.

    Additionally, I focus on helping clients build secure attachment by strengthening emotional regulation skills, increasing self-compassion, and reshaping negative core beliefs that stem from early attachment disruptions. This often involves gently challenging internalized narratives and supporting clients in forming new, healthier relational experiences both inside and outside of therapy.

    Overall, I use Attachment-Focused treatment as a guiding framework rather than a rigid protocol, tailoring interventions to each client’s developmental history, cultural context, and current needs.

    My goal is to help clients move toward more secure attachment patterns, improved relationships, and greater emotional resilience.

  • Trauma lives in the body. Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-centered approach that helps people process trauma and emotional challenges by gently exploring the connection between thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations.

    Rather than focusing only on talking about past experiences, it incorporates awareness of the body to identify patterns of tension, movement, and nervous system responses that may be linked to unresolved stress or trauma.

    Through this integrated approach, clients can develop greater self-awareness, regulate overwhelming emotions, and build a stronger sense of safety and resilience in their daily lives.

    Through Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, I help clients gently notice physical sensations, posture, movement, and patterns of tension alongside emotions and thoughts. These bodily cues can reveal how the nervous system has adapted to past experiences, such as through fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown responses.

    Rather than rehashing painful events in detail, the approach focuses on present-moment awareness and small, manageable steps. Clients learn to track their internal experience, regulate emotional intensity, and experiment with new physical responses that support a sense of safety and empowerment.

    Over time, this process can help release stuck survival energy, improve emotional regulation, strengthen boundaries, and foster a deeper connection between mind and body. It’s especially helpful for trauma, anxiety, depression, and relational difficulties.

  • My experience with ACT is grounded in its focus on helping clients develop psychological flexibility, the ability to stay present, open, and engaged in meaningful action despite difficult thoughts or emotions. ACT is based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and integrates principles from Mindfulness and Behavioral Therapy.

    In my practice, I use ACT to support clients in changing their relationship with distress rather than trying to eliminate it. I help clients build awareness of unhelpful thought patterns through techniques such as cognitive defusion, where they learn to observe thoughts without becoming entangled in them.

    I also guide clients in acceptance strategies, encouraging them to make space for uncomfortable emotions instead of avoiding or suppressing them.

    A key component of my work involves values clarification. I collaborate with clients to identify what truly matters to them, such as relationships, personal growth, or career goals, and use those values to guide committed action. This helps clients move toward meaningful change, even in the presence of anxiety, depression, or uncertainty.

  • My experience with Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is rooted in its effectiveness as a structured, evidence-based approach for treating trauma and distressing life experiences.

    In my practice, I use EMDR to help clients reprocess traumatic or emotionally charged experiences so they can be integrated in a more adaptive way.

    I also integrate EMDR with other approaches when appropriate, incorporating elements of mindfulness and resourcing techniques to enhance emotional regulation.
