Based on my 25 plus years of working as a clinical therapist, I believe that given the right support, everyone has the ability to resolve their issues and rewrite the stories of their lives. As each individual's path to wellness is unique, I utilize an integrative, holistic approach tailored to each specific client to optimize the therapeutic experience and ensure the best possible outcomes. Challenging life experiences can lead to people becoming stuck in negative, self-defeating patterns. I can assist you in determining the right course of action to take in order to achieve the clarity, self confidence and courage required to heal. Move forward and break free from unwanted behavioral patterns and limiting beliefs! I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents. I have developed an immense toolkit of therapeutic techniques over the years to share with my clients. I am steeped in Eastern as well as Western treatment modalities, and enjoy incorporating somatic, sound, and mindfulness healing techniques into my work in addition to the more traditional forms of cognitive and behavioral therapies.

Do you feel stuck? My approach to helping: Choosing to begin therapy and meet a new therapist can be one of the most stressful things a person can do. It is also one of the most courageous! The journey of counseling and therapy is a path of growth. I love working with people who have the courage to engage in therapy and helping them learn, grow, and heal. By becoming more aware of yourself and the people around you, you are able to choose new ways of being and interacting, and feel calmer and more content day to day.

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.
