For many years, I worked extensively with individuals healing from attachment wounds, developmental trauma, and the lasting effects of what is often called the mother wound. Through that work, I witnessed how early relationships shape our sense of self, our ability to trust, our relationships with others, and the stories we carry about our worth.

My clinical approach was informed by attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and other trauma-informed modalities. I helped clients understand and heal patterns such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, chronic self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, difficulty setting boundaries, and the painful feeling of never quite being enough.

Over time, one theme became increasingly clear: many of the struggles women bring to therapy can be traced back to relational wounds passed through generations of mothers and daughters. These wounds often exist beneath symptoms such as anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, shame, and disconnection from oneself.

Today, my professional focus has evolved.

Rather than providing ongoing psychotherapy, I now devote most of my work to helping women understand and heal the mother wound through psychoeducational groups, teaching, and community. These groups provide a space to explore attachment patterns, intergenerational dynamics, nervous system responses, self-abandonment, boundaries, and the journey toward developing a more secure relationship with oneself.

In addition to group work, I offer brief Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) intensives for individuals seeking focused support around specific memories, attachment injuries, or emotional blocks. ART is a powerful, evidence-based approach that can help resolve the lingering emotional impact of past experiences without requiring years of therapy.

My passion lies in helping women make sense of their experiences through the lens of attachment, trauma, and nervous system healing. Whether through a focused ART process or within the shared experience of group work, my goal is to help participants move from self-blame to self-understanding, from survival patterns to conscious choice, and from inherited wounds toward greater freedom, authenticity, and connection.

Healing the mother wound is not about blaming mothers. It is about understanding what was passed down, recognizing how it lives within us today, and choosing what we want to carry forward.

My Training

In addition to my clinical work, I have spent more than a decade training therapists, treatment programs, and mental health organizations across the country. My work as an educator has included national certification trainings, conference presentations, agency consultations, and intensive staff development programs focused on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), attachment wounds, developmental trauma, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care.

My training style combines clinical depth with practical application. I strive to make complex concepts accessible, engaging, and immediately useful in the therapy room. Whether teaching therapists how to navigate challenging clinical situations, understand attachment dynamics, or work more effectively with trauma, my goal is to help clinicians feel more confident, effective, and grounded in their work.

Today, my teaching is increasingly focused on attachment wounds, developmental trauma, and the mother wound—helping therapists understand how early relational experiences shape the symptoms, relationship patterns, and protective strategies clients bring into treatment.

I provide bespoke trainings for facilities, private practices, and organizations.
