Hello! I am a licensed psychologist who specializes in substance use and trauma-related mental health concerns. I work from a psychodynamic and attachment-based perspective while drawing from my experience with a wide variety of treatment approaches, including harm reduction, CBT, Mindfulness Based Relapse Prevention, and empirically validated treatments for PTSD. My focus is on building a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic space in which we can investigate how early relationship models may inform current interpersonal patterns, with the goal of helping you to relate to others with greater flexibility and choice.

I incorporate psychodynamic, attachment-based, mindfulness-based, and humanistic theories in my practice.
Many of us spend a long time running away from the true essence of ourselves. We abandon ourselves to be accepted by others or praised by a society that wants a specific version of us. This ultimately leads us with pain that we find various ways to numb. Together, we can explore, feel, and heal this pain.

Some days, a fog of uncertainty, persistent buzzing, and internal chatter overwhelm you. On others, feelings of detachment render you invisible, even among loved ones, even to yourself. Confusion, self-doubt, and worthlessness weave narratives about yourself and the world that are hard to shake. Beneath is a yearning for clarity, connection, confidence, calm, and safety, likely the reason you are here. This emotional seesaw, a reaction to stress, leads to states often mislabeled as anxiety, depression, PTSD, or addiction.

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.
