I know what it’s like to be in a perpetual evolution of the self. Engaging with past lives and exploring personal truths takes an incredible amount of work, and oftentimes requires help and support. I believe that everyone has the capacity to overcome the thought processes and behavioral patterns that inhibit us from growing into our most vibrant selves. I work through a trauma-informed lens, and utilize research around minority stress theory and attachment theory, amongst others, to formulate individually-tailored plans of action. Whether you’re a creative or a corporate executive, your needs and your path are specific to you.

Do you find yourself feeling stuck, unseen, or disconnected? Have these feelings intensified after 2+ years of pandemic? Are you wanting more from your relationships and your work? Do things like creativity and embodiment feel elusive and out of reach? Or are you a performer or achiever who is often put on a pedestal by those around you, idolized yet at a distance from the kind of care you actually want?

It is common to find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, anxious, lost, stuck, or detached. These emotions can feel scary, isolating, and even unbearable. I view therapy as an opportunity to co-create an open space to be curious and honest about our internal experiences, and explore the ways such internal experiences impact our external lives. Through the creation of a safe, supportive, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, my goal is to empower clients with an understanding and acceptance of self. It is through this that clients may feel less anxiety and depression, more connectedness, and more at peace with oneself.

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.
