I specialize in IFS & attachment-based therapy that goes beyond insight and into deep, embodied and long-lasting transformation.

You probably already know a lot about your patterns. You've read the attachment books, taken the quizzes, recognized yourself in the descriptions. And yet, the knowing hasn't been enough. Understanding why you're anxious or avoidant doesn't stop the patterns from showing up.

This is because attachment wounds don't live in your thoughts. Attachment wounds live in your nervous system, in your body, in the automatic reactions that happen before you even have time to think.

My Approach

True healing happens when security shifts from a concept in your mind to a lived experience in your body.

We'll work beyond just understanding secure attachment. We'll focus on embodying it down to your core.

Here’s how:

Internal Family Systems (IFS/parts work): IFS is a model of therapy that views the mind as a community of “parts”. We all have different parts, or different facets of our personality. Maybe there's the part of you that needs constant reassurance. Or a part that withdraws when things get intense. Most likely there’s an inner critic that tells you you're too much or not enough. I see many individuals who have a people-pleaser part that learned early on that love is conditional. I’ve also worked with other who have an avoidant part that feels smothered as emotional intensity increases within in a dynamic. In our work together, we'll get to know these parts. We want to understand the origin of these parts, why they came to exist in the first place. Often parts arise in order to protect us. As we come to know your “internal family” of parts, we’ll discover what it is that these parts of you are protecting and help them trust that You (your authentic most grounded self) can lead. When your inner parts feel safe, you can show up in life and in relationships from a place of security instead of survival.

Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT): Emotion-Focused Therapy is rooted in attachment science and helps you access the deeper emotions beneath your protective patterns. EFT helps you identify the attachment fears driving your reactions, access the vulnerable emotions you've learned to protect or avoid, express your needs in ways that invite connection instead of pushing people away and rewire your emotional responses so you can stay present in intimacy without losing yourself. This work creates new emotional experiences (not just new understanding!) so secure attachment becomes something you actually embody.

Somatic and Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Attachment wounds live in your nervous system and body, not just your mind. Your body learned to respond to intimacy with anxiety (clinging, hypervigilance) or avoidance (shutting down, numbing). Talk therapy alone can't shift these deeply wired patterns. Through somatic work, we'll help your nervous system learn that connection can be safe, vulnerability doesn't mean losing yourself and that you can feel emotions without being overwhelmed. We'll use breathwork, body awareness, mindfulness and grounding practices to build new neural pathways so secure attachment becomes a felt experience in your body, not just an idea in your head.
