As a licensed clinical therapist, my responsibility and privilege is to provide you with an evidence-based approach, rooted in curiosity and compassion. I want to teach you how to move and grow through your struggles with knowledge and integrity. I am committed to providing a safe environment built on mutual respect, trust, and confidentiality so that you can build your confidence back as you walk through this time. 

Each of us comes from a family system that generally falls into 1 of 3 descriptive categories, based on 60+ years of research from studies like Attachment Theory (Bowlby, Ainsworth, Blantz, Institute of Child Psychology, Harwood, et al.), stages of infancy, childhood development to adulthood, as found in studies by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the Institute of Child Psychology (ICP). The general categories are:

Compliance/Dominance-Based Approach (Authoritarian);
Indulgence/Pacification-Based Approach (Boundarylessness);
Cooperation-Collaborative Based Approach (Secure Attachment).

There are many sub-factors in each of these categories, specific to any one person, however, the evidence shows these descriptive categories help to unfold and tell your unique story of how you got to where you are today. (See Focus Areas)
