Attachment-based Therapists in Detroit, MI

The impacts of past pain can leave us feeling drained, overwhelmed and confused about our path forward. We can lack a sense of self-worth, after being hurt by the very people who were supposed to take care of us. I help clients reconnect to their inner power to reparent and restore lost parts of themselves. I guide clients in reawakening their naturally empowered, vibrant selves. I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples, seeking healing and connection both inside of themselves, and within their closest relationships. I also work with teenagers and their families.

I am licensed in both Michigan and Pennsylvania, and continue to seek training and education in both trauma and attachment-based therapy
Reaching out can be the most challenging task to engage in. Constant changes and life transitions can leave us feeling disconnected and overwhelmed. Relationships can feel strained with our partners, friends, family and even ourselves. Creating space to navigate these life impacts is one way I seek to help clients.

My approach is an attachment-based approach, integrating CBT and other modalities from a trauma-informed, strengths-based lens.
You don’t have to do this alone.
Life’s complexities—especially during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood—can feel overwhelming. If you're navigating the emotional highs and lows of becoming a parent, adjusting to a new identity, or coping with anxiety, depression, stress or past trauma, you're not alone and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself.
I have 8 years of experience supporting families with young children in various settings and I hold an endorsement from the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health and obtained advanced training in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International.

I began my career working in psych & detox admissions before working for a hospital EAP. I built my practice with the goal to support fellow women through all of life's transitions. I am passionate about working with fellow mothers (single moms, those with a partner, working moms, those trying to conceive, those grieving, those needing a hot cup of coffee...oh wait, that is all of us!). I also have a desire to help clients who are working through work stress, trauma, grief and other related disorders. I am open and very excited to work with all populations and would love to discuss further to see if its a good fit for us both!

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are -Joseph Campbell. Together, we can really hone in on what it is you are wanting for yourself and finding a path forward, that best suites you. Often, the work is getting back in touch with your Self in a deeper way—like re-calibrating your inner compass. My understanding of counseling comes from holistic, somatic and trauma-informed approaches that incorporate mind, body, and soul such as Jungian, IFS and transpersonal. Sex therapy is also a very important part of the work I do. Check out my website blog to learn more details about how I work

I provide psychodynamic psychotherapy for adults, especially College and University students. I am also a psychoanalyst working with issues especially trauma, that require additional sessions a week. Both approaches allow you to express internal thoughts, emotions/feelings from difficult experiences. Many people suffer from negative thinking and get stuck in that state of mind, thinking those feelings are their reality. It is only a partial state of mind, it holds us back from being more productive and enjoying life.

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.
