Relationships & Attachment

Make sense of past and current relationship patterns and build healthier, more authentic connections.

Understand the roots of your anxiety, break unhelpful patterns, and create a calmer, more empowered way of moving through life.

Navigate major life changes with clarity and confidence, process your emotions that come up, and step into your next chapter feeling grounded and supported.

Understand the factors contributing to your depression, break free from feelings of hopelessness, and rediscover motivation, joy, and connection in your daily life.

Get curious about your thoughts and feelings, gain clarity, and find a steadier way forward.

No crisis or previous experiences in therapy required.

The goal of this work isn’t to stay stuck in blame or bitterness toward others or your past.

It’s about objectively acknowledging and understanding how your experiences have shaped you, so you can begin to heal and move forward.

The experiences that brought you here are not your fault, but your healing is your responsibility.

Therapy is a supportive space to take that next step.

Therapeutic Approach

  • TL;DR How does your past influence your present?

    This approach focuses on insight, emotional processing, and our therapeutic relationship to understand your present day challenges. With a strong emphasis on identifying core beliefs, underlying drives, and formative relationships, this form of talk therapy helps you use insight from your past to understand how it impacts your present. This can be helpful if you're looking to understand recurring life patterns more deeply. It's generally long term, exploratory, and supportive.

  • TL;DR How do early relationships & attachment styles affect your emotional well-being & present relationships?

    This approach is rooted in attachment theory, focusing on understanding and healing the emotional and relational patterns developed in early childhood. This aims to help you recognize how your early attachments influence your current relationships and emotional well-being. It provides a framework for understanding and healing relational patterns and promoting healthier relationships and emotional resilience.

  • TL;DR What are the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and actions?

    This form of therapy is helpful if you're looking to address challenges in your mental health (and life) in the here-and-now. The CBT framework focuses on identifying concrete thoughts and behaviors that hinder your life, and transform them through coping skills, thought restructuring, and behavioral change. Commonly known as the “gold standard” for therapy, CBT methods for anxiety, depression, and related disorders have been scientifically proven to decrease mental health symptoms and improve quality of life in a short amount of time.

  • TL;DR Learn to manage your emotions, improve your relationships, & build skills in mindfulness and distress tolerance.

    This form of therapy incorporates mindfulness and behavioral change and is helpful if you're struggling with persistent feelings of distress, toxic relationships, and other intense emotions. DBT is comprised of four main section; mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal skills. With the goal of learning to build a life worth living, it takes a practical, yet personal, approach to behavior change that empowers you to transform even the hardest life circumstances.

  • TL;DR You're the expert on you.

    This is a non-directive approach that encourages you to lead the sessions and find your own solutions, while I offer empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness. This is ideal if you're looking to increase self-confidence, authenticity, and trust in your decisions, and can be helpful for issues like anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship difficulties. I'll act as a supportive facilitator, listening without judgment, and helping you gain self-understanding and growth in a compassionate and non-authoritative setting.
