Attachment-based Therapists in Goodlettsville, TN
Do you feel caught between who you present to the world and how you feel inside? Maybe you find yourself overthinking, striving, or people-pleasing - driven by anxiety, perfectionism, shame, or external pressure - while carrying wounds from the past. Beneath the surface, a part of you may feel unseen or disconnected from who you want to be, longing to be heard yet unsure how to break free from old patterns that keep you feeling stuck or never quite enough.

I tend to conceptualize client concerns through an attachment-based and trauma-informed lens, with attention to how past experiences influence current patterns.
I am drawn to people who are willing to understand themselves better. You might be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of your next steps. You may be carrying unresolved pain, navigating life transitions, questioning your identity, or trying to make sense of patterns in your relationships. Many of the people I work with want relief from anxiety, self-doubt, or emotional exhaustion. They want clarity, confidence, deeper self-compassion, and more meaningful connections. In our work together, we would gently explore your needs and goals collaboratively and move at a pace that feels safe and steady.

As an emergency responder, trauma is your life. You see horror after horror. Hypervigilance and "sucking it up" are your superpowers. You're proud of it. You came into law enforcement, fire, or the medical field feeling indestructible, but now life feels torn at the seams. You experience fitful nights of sleep, your emotions are all over the place, and you lack motivation. On top of that, friendships are not what they used to be, family is annoying, and your marriage seems to be falling apart. Lately, it’s been difficult to focus at work as a sense of fear has crept in. Everything important has lost meaning and you feel alone.

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.
