Attachment-based Therapists in Raleigh, NC
l work with people navigating trauma, PTSD, addiction, or the quiet ache of feeling stuck. They may be in midlife, questioning their worth, value, or purpose. They often appear high-functioning, but beneath the surface lies unaddressed pain—sometimes rooted in childhood, sometimes unnamed. They might be tired of the routine, bored with a life that checks all the boxes but still feels empty. Whether it’s a struggle with substance use or a search for meaning, they’re ready to stop surviving and start healing. They want something more: to become a more grounded, authentic version of themselves—rooted in peace, not performance.

Feeling stuck and motionless in a relationship is an all-too-common feeling. So many couples struggle with sex, being truly vulnerable, and having the same fights over and over again. Finding the "right person" and putting in the effort it takes to keep a relationship going is HARD, and our histories and relationship patterns don’t always help us do that. Patterns- not situations- keep us from moving forward. As a licensed psychologist specializing in relationships and intimacy, I’m here to help organize the mess and provide a path forward, whether that’s with couples or individuals who need some guidance.

Do you feel stuck? Out-of-sync with yourself or others? Sad or anxious and unsure how to move forward? I seek to help you restore safety, agency, intimacy, and joy within your relationships – including, and most importantly, your relationship with yourself.
We are made to flourish, but relationship ruptures, overwhelming events, or life transitions can knock us off balance. At these times, parts of ourselves can take on extreme roles. Together, we can attend to those parts, and allow the whole, authentic person you are to re-emerge.
I seek to provide a place where you (and all of your parts) will feel seen, understood, and valued.

You’ve gotten really good at showing up for everyone else, even when you’re running on empty. Maybe you’re feeling anxious, burnt out, or unsure who you are underneath all the roles you’ve taken on. Maybe you’re stuck in your head, second-guessing everything—your identity, your relationships, your desires, or what it even means to feel like yourself. Therapy with me is a space where you can stop performing. We slow things down, name what’s actually going on, and start making room for what feels more honest, more grounded, and more you.

I believe that all bodies are good bodies and align with Health at Every Size(TM). You might be thinking "So then why do I have so much shame about my body?" Your beliefs about your body have been shaped through the media, health education, doctor's visits, television, magazines, and so much more. They may also have been passed down from a parent or caregiver who is also influenced by the same biased belief that thin bodies are better, healthier, and more worthy than bigger bodies. The way you feel about your body is not your fault. Healing is possible.

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.
