Most people seek my help for anxiety, depression and feeling stuck. Anxiety can be caused by such things as illness, sexual and/or physical abuse, relationship problems, career disappointments or trauma experienced in childhood. The world generally does not feel safe for someone who is experiencing anxiety. Depression is often a result of feeling powerless to create possibilities for personal growth and happiness. Negative self talk co-exists with depression coloring what one does with a sense of not being good enough. I can help you discover new perspectives and possibilities empowering you to create the life you want.

Our bodies and minds have special ways to clue us in to the need for change. This can include negative relationship patterns, constant states of low mood, physical complaints, feelings of anxiety and depression, feeling stuck or blocked from pursuing goals or even just a general sense of feeling off. Together we will determine what is standing in the way of you reaching your desired goals or from living out your perception of a full life.

It can be hard to be a person in the world sometimes, especially if you have experienced loss, survived trauma or learned that something terrible will happen if you are not "perfect." Despite being “put together” on the outside, you find yourself spending so much energy trying to stay that way that you are burning out. You want to feel better but you are getting so overwhelmed that you shut down before you even know where to start. Many of my people have these concerns when we first meet but together we are able to practice actionable steps to access joy and security in the present and reconnect with hope for the future.

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.
