*After booking, you will receive a link via IntakeQ to complete required intake forms prior to your appointment.* Emotional pain from past relationships can shape the way you see yourself and connect with others. If you find yourself repeating unhealthy relationship patterns, struggling with trust, or feeling disconnected from those around you, therapy can help. I specialize in attachment wounds-the deep emotional imprints left by early relationships-and work with individuals navigating relationship challenges, personal boundaries, anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, and bipolar disorder. I hold a Master's in Social Work and a Bachelor's degree from Alliance University. With a background in clinical social work and experience in both private mental healthcare and legal settings involving child custody and abuse, I bring a deep understanding of how past experiences influence present struggles. Therapy isn't just about coping-it's about healing, gaining insight, and creating meaningful change in your life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Therapy is a space for you to be seen, heard, and understood. It’s also a place where you’ll be gently challenged to uncover patterns that may be holding you back. My approach is both relational and investigative—meaning we’ll work together to explore the deeper layers of your experiences, not just surface-level symptoms. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma-focused therapy, psychodynamic techniques, and attachment-based therapy to help you process emotions, build healthier relationships, and develop a stronger sense of self. Whether you’re navigating past trauma, struggling with self-worth, or trying to break free from toxic relationship cycles, we’ll work toward lasting emotional healing and personal growth.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

The first few sessions focus on getting to know your story—what’s brought you here, what’s been difficult, and what changes you want to see in your life. As therapy progresses, we’ll identify the core beliefs and patterns shaping your emotions and behaviors. Sessions may involve exploring past relationships, building emotional regulation skills, or learning to set boundaries in a way that aligns with your needs. The process isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it. Over time, therapy helps you develop healthier relationships, strengthen self-awareness, and navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence. Taking the first step is often the hardest, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re ready to work through attachment wounds, relationship struggles, or past trauma, I’m here to help you move toward healing and a more fulfilling life.
