I know asking for help is not an easy thing to do. I also know that finding a provider you trust to help you navigate mental health care can be a challenge. My style is warm, collaborative and engaging. I compassionately promote therapeutic healing, growth & change. I work with adolescents (16 and older) and adults who need support in addressing trauma, along with depression, anxiety, and/or substance use.

Waitlist for new clients
My clients are interested in looking at the barriers that are holding them back and exploring ways to overcome those barriers that will work specifically for them and their lives. While we are not always able to control what's happening around us, we may be able to change the way we are approaching a situation - or we may be looking for the courage to set boundaries, stop people pleasing, or even walk away from something that is preventing us from living our best life.

I often meet clients when they feel stuck or overwhelmed. They feel uncertain about how to move forward or don't have the supports they need to do so, and may feel as if every day is a battle. In our work together, I provide validation and reflection, pulling from the many strengths you already have. At times, life can feel too overwhelming to even see past the next few days. In those moments, our work is about grounding in the here and now, developing skills to manage stress, and having space to process. I enjoy working with clients navigating issues related to fertility & pregnancy, parenting, trauma, and climate-related anxiety.

Life can be overwhelming with its many challenges and stressors. Maybe old patterns that were once adaptive are no longer effective. Maybe you are feeling stuck and disconnected from yourself and others. Maybe you are experiencing a difficult loss or life transition and are struggling with feelings of depression and anxiety. Maybe you just want to feel that you are the author of your own story. It is important to know that you can change the trajectory of your life at any time but you must have a willingness to do the work.

Humans are wacky, beautiful, awesome, creative, remarkable beings. When we have anchors within and outside of ourselves for safety, we can explore possibilities, feel organized and competent, and speak our minds and hearts. There are many forces that can inhibit our vitality. Sometimes, it can be hard to access feelings of curiosity, interest, motivation, connection, or being ourselves. But under the layers of what gets in our way, each of us is already here, already whole.

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.
