Are you tired of carrying everything on your own? Maybe you’re feeling anxious, low, or stuck in patterns that trace back to family, culture, or systems that never fully saw you. You might want deeper connection but feel unsure how to trust yourself or others yet.

I work with people who want more than symptom relief and are seeking clarity, self-trust, and more meaningful relationships.

You’re high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, on edge, or emotionally shut down inside. Your body reacts before your mind can catch up. Past experiences still show up as overthinking, tension, or emotional distance. In your relationship, you may feel stuck in the same arguments, disconnected, or trying to rebuild trust after infidelity. You want real relief, not just insight, and lasting change instead of another coping strategy.

I use Brainspotting, somatic work, DBT-informed skills, and attachment-based therapy.
You’re the one everyone leans on, but no one really knows how close you are to shutting down. You’re juggling old trauma, big feelings, and relationships that swing between “too close” and “too distant.” You overthink everything, freeze when it’s time to set boundaries, and then feel guilty for even having needs. You don’t want a perfect life; you just want to feel less on edge, less misunderstood, and more like yourself again.

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.
