Gottman Referral Network

About

I specialize in Adult Attachment, with subspecialties in Earned Security, Sexual Health, Couples Therapy, and Trauma‑ and Stress‑Related Disorders.

Adult attachment wounds rarely present themselves directly, they surface through the symptoms of the disorders they evolve into, rather than the original relational injuries that shaped them. Effective treatment requires identifying and addressing these attachment‑based survival strategies alongside any co‑occurring mental health conditions, creating a more accurate diagnosis and a truly holistic path to healing.

I draw from Integrative Attachment Therapy (IAT) (a structured, attachment‑based model that uses attachment science, metacognitive skills, and corrective emotional experiences to update insecure internal working models and support earned security). I use the Adult Attachment Inventory, Reflective Functioning, The Gottman Method, and Internal Family Systems.

I am Gottman Level 3, EMDR II, and certified in both Trauma Therapy and Clinical Adventure Therapy. I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and have been a licensed therapist since 2013. I am a member of The Society for Emotion and Attachment Studies and a member of The International Association for Relationship Research.
