Bio
My career has been focused on supporting teens, couples, and families to rekindle a felt sense of connection. The attachment lens-- paired with solution-focused, experiential, and humanistic interventions-- allows me to help people get unstuck in the places that mean the most; their relationships to self, other, and the world.
