Welcome! It's nice to virtually meet you!

When connection no longer feels safe - in your relationship, in yourself, or both - it can leave you feeling stuck or alone. You may have tried to understand what’s happening, push through it, or simply endure it. The ways you learned to protect yourself made sense once. Now, those same patterns may be keeping out the closeness and ease you long for.

I’m here to help you create something different.

Embodied Attachment Therapy starts with what you probably already think of as therapy: we talk. We talk about what’s happening in your life and relationships, what you’re struggling with, and what you want to change. But sometimes understanding a pattern isn’t enough to change it. You may know why you shut down during conflict, put other people’s needs ahead of your own, or become anxious when someone you love pulls away - and still find yourself caught in the same pattern.

That’s where the embodied and attachment pieces come in. Together, we pay attention not only to what you think, but also to what you feel, what happens inside you in important relationships, and how your body responds when you feel hurt, afraid, disconnected, or overwhelmed.

I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-focused EMDR, parts work, and mindfulness to help you heal relational wounds, understand the ways you’ve learned to protect yourself, and develop new ways of responding—to yourself and to the people who matter to you.

My work is shaped by more than three decades supporting children and families, as well as my experience as a mother, bodyworker, educator, and researcher. I listen closely to emotional and bodily cues and offer compassionate, direct feedback when growth calls for clarity.

The goal is more than insight. Together, we work toward change you can actually feel and live: greater steadiness within yourself, more choice in how you respond, and more secure ways of connecting with others.
