“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” I always tell my clients that if they take anything away from therapy, let it be to know that no relationship is more important than the relationship you have with yourself. With this mindset, I become an ally to help my clients set goals and address various issues while building self love, empowerment and compassion. I work well with client that are ready to do the hard work of therapy and I do everything in my power to make sure they know how strong and supported they are for doing doing this. Therapy isn't easy and together we got this!

In Holladay & Available state wide through video conferencing. Many people struggle with feeling different, strange, or like others do not relate to them well. Many people feel like they have to hide who they are and have no place to be themselves. Many new clients worry about being pushed to confront truths and emotions before they are ready. I seek to first get clients ready to change then support them as they lead the way. This goes for the person with depression who needs to reshape their relationships; the person with PTSD facing their painful past; and the gay person grappling with the consequences of coming out or not.

Depression and anxiety cause emotional pain that can feel like a permanent personality change. Sadness, anger, and shame can spiral out of control until we hardly recognize ourselves. The truth is, it’s not permanent! There is hope! There are many reasons we might find ourselves in despair. Depression can be caused by grief, anxiety, ADHD, adversity in childhood, narcissistic abuse, troubled relationships, or any number of mental illnesses. It can also seem to come from nothing at all! Sometimes existing is just exhausting!

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.
