The process of finding a therapist that is right for you amongst the sea of biographies can be daunting and finally getting in and seeing if it’s a good fit can be even more frustrating. I want to collaborate with you to make realistic and sustainable goals for your life. I want you to feel comfortable advocating for yourself and confident that I will also advocate for you in a variety of settings. My belief is that you are the expert on yourself and that your voice is important. I will willingly coordinate with others in your system as well. I know that one-size therapy does not fit all and every situation and its needs are unique.

If you find yourself asking, "How did my family get to this point?!" you may have found your therapist. I get it...you've read the books, googled countless therapists, trying to find anything in an effort to restore sanity and connection to your chaotic family. Whether you dread the evening battles and meltdowns, fear how closed off your teen is becoming, or you don't know how to close the distance between you and your partner, hope for a better tomorrow is a conversation away. My no-nonsense, transparent, and direct but compassionate approach to therapy is especially helpful for the hardest-to-reach teenagers.

Sometimes something unexpected occurs with ourselves or our family. This can produce many emotions that we are not sure how to handle. Therapy is a great place to process these emotions and unexpected events. With over 10 years of practice and extensive trainings focusing on trauma, attachment and undesirable behaviors, I understand kids, teens and families. I am a mother of three and I “get” the stress that comes along with parenting, especially while navigating emotions and life experiences. Whatever your child/teen/family is experiencing, I understand and I am here to help!

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.
