Hi there, I'm Lindsay, a licensed marriage and family therapist. I specialize in treating individual adults with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I've helped people to cope more effectively with stress, low self-esteem, and phase of life challenges. I employ techniques from attachment-based, cognitive behavioral (CBT), family systems, humanistic, and psychodynamic modalities. I have helped many people learn how to set boundaries, speak about difficult issues, explore themselves, discuss life transitions, gain insight, end unproductive patterns, accept themselves, and discover how life experiences have impacted them.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and my passion lies in helping individuals from a relational perspective and instilling hope and assurance of one's individual journey. I believe we all have a story and the right to be heard and seen and that is what I look to offer you within our therapeutic relationship. I believe the therapist-client relationship is integral to healing and as such, it should feel collaborative and free from judgement. I work from an eclectic lens, often incorporating cognitive behavioral therapies, client-centered approaches, solution-focused interventions, and have been trained in Brainspotting.

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.
