Our earliest relationships shape how we connect, cope, and care. I work with clients to understand the roots of their attachment patterns—whether that looks like anxiety in relationships, difficulty trusting others, or a tendency to pull away. Together, we explore how these patterns developed and begin the work of forming more secure, fulfilling connections—with others and with yourself.

When you’ve been running on perfectionism, people-pleasing, or pressure to perform, burnout doesn’t feel like “just stress”—it feels like losing yourself. I help clients make sense of what led them here, reclaim their energy and identity, and build a life that feels sustainable, not just successful.

Many high-achievers look like they have it all together—but inside, they feel like they're never enough. I help clients untangle the inner critic, reconnect with their inherent worth, and build a more compassionate, grounded sense of self. This work often goes deep, exploring the early messages and unmet needs that shaped how you see yourself today.

Our earliest relationships shape the way we connect with others—and with ourselves. If you’ve ever felt too much, not enough, or unsure how to trust, attachment theory can help us make sense of those patterns. In our work together, we explore how your past experiences impact your present relationships, and begin building new ways of relating that feel safe, secure, and more aligned with who you really are.

I’ve worked from a psychodynamic lens since I began practicing, with a deep respect for the role of unconscious processes, early attachment experiences, and relational patterns in shaping how we move through the world. I’m actively engaged with the broader psychoanalytic community in Kansas City and participate in an ongoing psychodynamic study group. My clinical supervision is provided by a psychoanalyst, which continually deepens and refines my work. This framework helps me hold space for comp

Psychodynamic therapy explores how early relationships, unconscious processes, and past experiences shape how we relate to others and ourselves in the present. This approach values insight, emotional depth, and the therapeutic relationship as a space for lasting change. I’m deeply engaged in post-graduate psychodynamic education, participate in a local study group, and receive ongoing supervision from a psychoanalyst to support and deepen this work.

Attachment therapy focuses on how early relationships shape our sense of safety, trust, and connection. These patterns often show up in adult relationships, self-worth, and emotional regulation. In therapy, we explore how these early dynamics play out in the present—and how they can shift. My approach is grounded in contemporary attachment theory, using the therapeutic relationship as a secure base for healing, growth, and deeper relational awareness.
