Attachment based therapy

Healing begins in connection .

The way we learn to handle life, connect with others, and move through this world begins in our earliest experiences. I work with women, parents, and children to understand their trauma and support more connected, regulated, and grounded ways of living.

02 ⸻ who i help

I work with individuals and families across a lifespan.

Parents & Families

Parenting can feel overwhelming at times, and you don’t have to navigate it alone. I support parents in understanding their children and gently exploring how their own childhood experiences may be shaping their parenting. Together, we work toward more calm, connection, and emotional regulation — creating a home that feels more peaceful and less like a constant power struggle, and allowing parenting to feel good and fulfilling.

Children

Children develop regulation through their relationships with caregivers. Because of this, sessions are conducted with both parent and child together. Through guided play and moments of connection, we build regulation skills in real time — allowing these skills to naturally carry into everyday life.

Women

I work with women navigating the complexities of relationships, motherhood, identity, anxiety, grief, and the quiet emotional burdens that are often carried alone. Many of the women I work with are deeply insightful and capable, yet find themselves repeating patterns, feeling emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or experiencing anxiety and somatic symptoms that no longer feel manageable.

Fertility & IVF Support

I also work with women navigating fertility challenges, IVF, pregnancy loss and Hyperemisis gravidarum (HG). Having personally experienced this journey, I understand both the emotional weight and the complexity of navigating the medical system. I support women not only emotionally, but also in advocating for themselves throughout the complex process.
