Adult Therapy

Adult Attachment-Based Therapy in Cambridge

As an 🔗attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist with over 30 years of clinical experience, I help adults make sense of how early life experiences continue to shape emotions, relationships, and self-perception in the present.

 

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply unsure of why you’re struggling, therapy offers a safe, confidential space to explore your inner world and find meaningful paths forward. My approach is grounded in empathy, depth, and curiosity—supporting you to reconnect with your needs and resilience.

​

What Therapy Can Help With

Many people seek therapy not because something is “wrong,” but because something isn’t sitting right emotionally. You may be experiencing:

• Persistent sadness, anxiety, anger, or emotional numbness

• Ongoing stress or burnout—professionally or personally

• Relationship difficulties (partners, family, friends, or colleagues)

• Parenting struggles or unresolved family dynamics

• Grief and loss after bereavement or separation

• Emotional pain following divorce or breakup

• Lingering effects of trauma or abuse

• Distress around gender identity or sexuality

• Living with disability or neurodiversity

• Chronic illness, pain, or infertility

• Challenges with body image or self-worth

• Major life transitions—menopause, retirement, parenthood

• The impact of racism, homophobia, transphobia, or discrimination

 

Whatever your reason for seeking support, we work together in a way that feels emotionally safe and empowering.

​

My Approach

Therapy is not about quick fixes or advice. Instead, it’s a reflective process that explores the patterns, beliefs, and emotional responses shaped by your past—especially early attachments. Our work helps you make sense of your personal narrative and move toward healing and integration.

Sessions may involve talking therapy as well as creative methods like image work, metaphor, and dream exploration—especially when words feel limiting.
