Attachment-based Therapists in Delano, Wichita, KS
Do you find yourself holding everything together for everyone else, no matter how drained you feel inside? Complex trauma leaves us feeling responsible for peace we didn’t break—strong on the outside, yet quietly anxious or disconnected within. You want to feel grounded in who you are—spiritually, culturally, and emotionally—but deep down you’re tired of surviving. You’re not broken; you’re just ready to feel whole again.

Starting therapy can feel overwhelming and bring up fears we don’t always understand. Navigating life between cultures, family, and identity can create emotions that are hard to explain.
I offer a safe, inclusive, and gender-affirming space where you can explore, heal, and grow. My work focuses on healing generational trauma—including the kind you may not even realize exists—while helping you understand family and cultural dynamics and strengthen your relationships with yourself and others.

Hello! Prior to becoming a therapist, I served in the Army National Guard and worked in inpatient healthcare settings supporting individuals facing complex medical conditions, serious mental illness, and end-of-life concerns. These experiences, combined with my education and personal journey, deepened my understanding of human suffering, resilience, and the profound capacity for healing and transformation. Whether you're working through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, or a desire for personal growth, I am committed to helping you move beyond survival mode and toward a more authentic, fulfilling life.

I help children and caregivers build skills to regulate emotions during challenging situations without shutting down or lashing out, with an emphasis on collaboration, resilience, and healing from past trauma. I offer practical, strengths-based strategies for children with ADHD, FASD, autism, and anxiety, tailored to neurodivergence, developmental needs, and family dynamics. I also support caregivers in reducing the guesswork around when to apply consequences versus when accommodations are needed.

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.
