Your body is tired but your mind is racing. You use up your spoons to show up for others and hope that you'll feel supported in return but instead, you're still feeling drained, anxious, and lonely. Thoughts like "What if I need too much? and "What's wrong with me?" popped up into your head long ago and still gnaws at you. You want to cry or hide when thinking about bringing up hard conversations with loved ones about what you need to feel understood and supported, so for now, those hard talks just get avoided. You want to feel more engaged in your life, less dread, and less pain.

Hi, I'm Ande.
I work with women, teens, and children who may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, struggling with self-esteem, or navigating difficult life experiences. Many of the individuals I support appear to be “holding it together” on the outside, while internally feeling exhausted, stuck, or unsure of where to turn next.
I believe that no one should have to face life’s most difficult moments alone. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and accepted—without judgment. Whether you are navigating everyday stressors, past experiences, or current challenges, we will work together at your pace.

Counseling is a space where you can explore, process, heal and grow. By being vulnerable we can allow ourselves the space to reflect on who we are now and where we have come from. I believe that we deserve a space where we can feel safe, comfortable and free from judgement. In this space, we can take out some of the boxes that are stored away and discover how we can let go of what no longer serves us while creating new ways of being and relating to ourselves, others, and the world around us .

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.
