When stressed, those who've experienced trauma can have intensification of symptoms (sleep issues, isolation, crying, anxiety, sadness, hopelessness). This can be indicative of PTSD. Instead of "what's wrong with you?" let's ask "what happened to you?" Fortunately, there are evidenced-based treatments to help you heal from life's wounds. If you've been struggling, reach out to talk with me about your potential for healing. My work/training focuses on trauma work; I can create a unique treatment plan tailored for your walk towards wellness. A healthy life awaits you. Recover. Regain. Relive.

Christopher Reeve said, "Once you choose hope anything is possible" and therapy builds hope. I specialize in helping trauma survivors find relief from the effects of traumatic experiences. Trauma happens when our mind and body become so overwhelmed that we cannot process it or make sense of what has happened. Complex trauma is experienced when trauma is perpetuated over a long period of time and the traumatic-state becomes "the norm." Together we will work to build resilience, reduce suffering, affect positive behavioral changes, and learn healthy coping skills.

Attachment-based Therapists

Is attachment-based therapy the same as attachment therapy?

Attachment-based therapy may be confused with what is called “attachment therapy” (sometimes called “holding therapy”), a discredited and dangerous approach to treating children with attachment disorders, autism, or other mental health concerns. Attachment therapy—not attachment-based therapy—may involve restraining a child, forcing eye contact, and other coercive or abusive techniques. None of these practices are used in attachment-based therapy and the two modalities are in no way related.

What should I expect from attachment-based therapy?

Attachment-based therapy is based on attachment theory, which posits that children’s early relationships with their caregivers strongly influence their ability to navigate the world later in life. Thus, adults who seek attachment-based therapy should expect to deeply explore their childhood, identifying the dynamics or experiences that disrupted their attachment and the steps necessary to overcome challenges that arose as a result. Parents and children should expect to explore the possible factors that disrupted the parent-child relationship and work toward restoring trust and connection.

How long does attachment-based therapy last?

Certain forms of attachment-based therapy, especially those designed for parents and children, last for a set number of sessions; for example, Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up, a specific attachment-based approach for young children who have undergone early adversity, unfolds over 10 one-hour sessions. When attachment-based therapy is practiced on adults or combined with other modalities, it may not last a specific length of time; clients may wish to ask prospective therapists how long they expect treatment to take.

Does attachment-based therapy work?

Most of the research on attachment-based therapy focuses on children and adolescents. Some of this research shows a positive effect, especially for attachment-based family therapy (ABFT). Other studies, however, have found that attachment-based therapy is no more effective than other approaches to childhood depression, anxiety, or suicidality. Less is known about the therapy’s efficacy on adult populations.
