As a therapist and trauma-informed provider, I enjoy joining forces with those in MN/WI who are motivated for change and identifying the root causes that may be contributing to what someone is experiencing, so enhanced healing can occur. I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of mental health concerns over the span of my career, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, peri/maternal mental health, relationship concerns, life changes/transitions and those with medical condition concerns. I have special interests in working with women’s health, integrative health, and the college student population.

Many of us have feelings of not being good enough, or that we are bad, not lovable, not smart enough, not worthy, etc. These feelings can come from past trauma and/or from living with a narcissist. Because we have feelings like these, we think we have to do things for others so they will like us. It's exhausting. These feelings can create self doubt, confusion, anxiety, depression, fear, anger, etc. Your life doesn't have to be like this. Therapy can help you rid yourself of these beliefs and give you clarity and happiness. I've been successfully helping people with these issues thru online, EMDR based therapy, for many years.

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.
