Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW)
Helping you heal attachment wounds, navigate trauma, and build healthy relationships using evidence-based care and compassionate support.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in painful relationship patterns, struggled with anxiety, depression, or trauma, or wondered why certain wounds feel impossible to heal, therapy can offer the tools and understanding you need to move forward. I specialize in helping adults address attachment wounds—the emotional pain tied to early or intimate relationships that may still impact your life today. By understanding your attachment style and its origins, you can create healthier boundaries, improve your relationships, and rewrite old patterns that no longer serve you. I draw from attachment theory, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic techniques, and trauma-focused approaches to tailor care to your specific needs. Whether you’re facing challenges with relationships, personal boundaries, anxiety, depression, or trauma recovery, I provide a space where you’ll feel supported and truly heard. Therapy is a journey of both discovery and growth. We’ll dig deep to uncover the root of your pain, challenge harmful patterns, and equip you with the skills to navigate life with greater confidence, clarity, and resilience. Healing is possible, and it begins with understanding yourself in a new way.
