About
Bio
Even as a child, I was a keen observer of human behavior, fascinated by the motivations and intentions behind what people do and say. At university, I initially set out to become a prosecuting attorney specializing in serial crimes. Along the way, however, I became more interested in the "why" behind behavior than in legal outcomes. This curiosity led me to explore psychology, mind–body science, attachment theory, and the profound ways our experiences shape the way we perceive ourselves, relate to others, and navigate the world.
In my mid-twenties, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune condition. That experience deepened my understanding of the mind–body connection and the intricate relationship between emotional and physical wellbeing. It heightened my awareness of how chronic stress and challenging life circumstances can influence not only our mental and emotional wellbeing, but also the body’s physiological systems. This journey further cultivated my interest in the fascinating interplay among psychology, health, and human development, shaping the trajectory of my personal and professional pursuits.
Beyond Integrated Attachment Theory, I am continually learning, exploring, and connecting ideas across disciplines. My studies and interests extend into areas such as kinesiology, Taoist healing arts, biophysics and homeopathy, and regenerative detoxification, reflecting my curiosity about the many ways the body, mind, and environment interact to shape our experience of wellbeing.
Alongside this work, and inspired by my mother, I have always been drawn to acting, film, and music - to the ways these art forms give voice to the language of emotion. My work with attachment theory has reinforced my belief that the ways we connect, communicate, and express love are fundamental to the human experience. I am continually captivated by the power of story and creative expression to illuminate the complexities of our inner worlds, revealing the relationships, emotional wounds, and enduring longing for connection that shape who we are and how we move through life.
What ARC Insight is
My work weaves together relational inquiry, lived experience, and a keen observation of complex and high-conflict interpersonal dynamics. Through the lens of attachment theory and nervous system science, we explore how unconscious patterns and unresolved experiences shape the ways we relate to others, protect ourselves, and seek connection. By approaching these patterns as adaptive responses rather than fixed identities, we create the foundation for meaningful and lasting change.
Many of the emotional and relational patterns we carry are formed through early experiences that shape our sense of trust, safety, and belonging. Over time, these adaptations can create a tension between our conscious longing for connection and the protective responses our nervous system has learned to maintain.
At ARC Insight, the work is not about fixing what is broken, but about releasing the layers of imprints that gave rise to insecure attachment, opening a pathway for new neural responses and cultivating greater nervous system safety and coherence across heart, mind, and body.
Through authentic self-inquiry and emotional honesty, we are invited to bring awareness to the parts of ourselves that have remained unseen or protected - the shadow aspects shaped by past experiences that may keep us repeating patterns that no longer serve us. We approach these parts with curiosity, compassion, and a willingness to integrate rather than reject them.
