A transition into motherhood can be a vulnerable time in a woman's life. It is not uncommon for caregivers to love their child yet deeply struggle. So, if you are tired of feeling overwhelmed and you find yourself spending most of your day trying to cope, or cover up how you are really doing, then I'm here for you! I get it, shutting down in the middle of the day and “one more thing” that your child does sets you over the top. But it doesn't have to be this way. If you could show up differently as a parent, what would that look like? How would that improve the quality of life? What could you do now that you have more energy?

Therapy for me is the art of helping a person bring wholeness to their life with the Christ-inspired profound understanding that the human person has the potential to be more beautiful after we experience brokenness than before. I’m convinced this is true, even if it may sound hard to believe and just a nice sounding statement.

Stuck? Repeating the same non-helpful patterns? Change often begins when we feel really listened to and understood. Struggles get untangled as we tell our stories in a safe place. My approach is to give each client a safe and compassionate place to tell their story and look for new pathways together. Sometimes the hope of change seems almost impossible, but in more than a decade of private practice, I have seen so many couples and individuals restore their hope and find a healing path to a new way of living. I'd love to join you on that healing journey for a season. Come on in. I'm eager to hear your story.

Another night, the same old fight. You know you're both smart people – why can’t we seem to figure out how to have a constructive conversation with each other on the things that matter? On the outside, it seems like you have the perfect life and relationship. People would be surprised if they knew the truth. When one or both of your buttons are pushed, things go off the rails. You know you love each other deeply and both want a solid and healthy relationship – but when these conflicts happen, you feel so disconnected and hopeless that you question whether you’ll ever be able to truly resolve things and find a deep connection again.

Are you feeling stressed out? On the surface it may look like you have it all: a wonderful partner, nice family, or a great career but underneath, you are overwhelmed. Others may think you are put together, sometimes, even coming to you for support. They don't realize you are experiencing increased worry, anxiousness, and exhaustion. You feel stressed out, distracted, and even panicked. You just can't keep up. When you stop to think about it, you are not living the life you expected. You are tired and don't know where to turn.

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.
