I use a trauma-informed and attachment-based approach.
I deeply enjoy working with adults with ADHD, anxiety, and/or depression, and those who want to gain a deeper understanding of who they are. You may have the experience of feeling disconnected from others or difficulty knowing how you bring value to the world. If you have (or suspect you have) ADHD, you may feel overwhelmed from constantly trying to fit into a box that wasn't made for you. Together, we will explore your struggles, values, history, and strengths to cope with challenges and begin to feel more connected with yourself and those you care about.

Therapy should be a comfortable experience where you feel safe and accepted as you are. It isn’t always easy to share your feelings or experiences, and you deserve an environment where you feel you can speak freely and honestly. I work with adults and teenagers experiencing a variety of issues, including: depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, self-harming behaviors, relationship difficulty, family dynamics, substance abuse, LGBTQIA+ support, and many more. I want every client to gain more understanding of themselves. A more complete understanding of yourself comes with a more complete understanding of how to cope.

In a perfect world, we would all be assigned a therapist at birth, just as we are a pediatrician. Mental health is health, after all. Having a therapist to listen, affirm, encourage, and maybe even challenge you is incredibly healing. I don’t believe that clients necessarily ‘need’ therapy, but that they deserve excellent therapy. I have a passion for working with millennials and young adults. My professional experience in wilderness therapy also drives my interest in working with outdoor enthusiasts who have a history of trauma or mental health concerns.

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.
