IAT-Certified · One of Six in the U.S.
The relationship
can be repaired.
Working with parents, men, fathers, and families on the attachment wounds beneath the surface — grounded in over a decade of clinical work in Los Angeles.
The Work
Most people I work with aren't broken — they're adapted.
What looks like emotional unavailability, withdrawal, or conflict is almost always an attachment strategy that once made sense. The goal isn't to fix what's wrong with you. It's to repair the foundation underneath — so that security stops being something you perform and starts being something you feel.
I work using Integrative Attachment Therapy (IAT) and the Ideal Parent Figure Protocol, a research-backed method developed by Dr. Daniel P. Brown. I trained directly with Dr. Brown and am one of six IAT-certified clinicians in the United States.
