Introduction

For over 20 years, my work has been rooted in the belief that the most powerful tool for a child’s progress is the relationship they have with you. I began my career seeking to understand the "invisible threads" that hold families together, particularly during times of intense transition and developmental trauma. Over two decades in practice, I have seen firsthand how attachment disruptions and unresolved traumatic experiences—from big, unreachable emotions to the "tug-of-war" of daily life—impact the entire family system. I specialize in helping children heal from these difficult experiences by strengthening the emotional safety they feel with you. My practice, Greater Washington Attachment & Healing, provides a dedicated space for families navigating the complexities of Child-Parent Relational Repair, building secure bonds, and navigating the complexities of trauma or family transitions. When we work together, my goal is to provide a trauma-responsive, collaborative environment where your family can finally find a sense of predictable peace. Whether you are in Maryland, DC, or Virginia, our sessions are designed to help your family rediscover a lasting sense of connection and belonging. If you are ready to begin this healing journey, I invite you to reach out.
