This theory focuses on exploring our early childhood attachment style, which has been created throughout our childhood with our caregivers. This attachment style lays a foundation for how we see the world and develop trust and is carried out into our future relationships with partners and close friends. I support clients by guiding them through a better understanding of their attachment style, as well as supporting clients to work through their past to a healthier attachment with others.

It was my passion in learning about how children develop that led me to the field of psychology. Prior to becoming a therapist, I received my bachelor's degree in Child Development and Adolescent studies. This has helped me support children and parents alike with my foundational knowledge of understanding children and how the family influences a child’s development. I also teach and guide parents in building attachment, to help build trust between them and their child.

EMDR therapy is an evidenced based practice that supports client who have experienced difficult past events or have experienced traumatic experiences. If you struggle with thinking about past events when you don’t want to, nightmares, or often have triggers in your daily life that remind you of that event, then EMDR could help you work through your past to shift your thinking and reduce the emotional disturbance around these event(s).

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an evidence based therapeutic technique to address trauma response and emotional reactions in the body. EMDR can be used to address: Anxiety, car accidents, self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, panic attacks, and a variety of other issues. EMDR focuses on changing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors from the distressing issues and aligning your brain back to its natural healing process.

I utilize a psychodynamic approach, which means I enjoy diving into the root symptoms and challenges a client is facing by looking at their past and childhood to work through issues. This often leads to exploring childhood relationships, family patterns, and relational dynamics which have developed and are now presenting in other areas of a client's life.

Relationships can be hard. We are complex individuals, and often bring our childhood and relationship patterns into our dating relationships or marriage. I support client's in understanding their relationship patterns, and learn new ways to communicate and foster healthier relationship dynamics moving forward. I believe all the couples I work with can develop a secure attachment within their relationship; and build an authentic connection with one another.
