As a therapist I aim to help you explore the past experiences that shaped you, the future you hope to achieve, and the ways you may feel stuck somehow in the patterns of life you are living today. Behind those frustrating feelings, such as “Why am I like this?” and “Why do I keep doing this thing?”, there may be parts of you that have never before been brought to light or put into words. I may ask you questions that challenge you to take a deeper dive into who you are and perhaps discover new avenues for who you may become.

You feel as if the roller coaster of overwhelming hurt, fear, and anger has hijacked your world when you discover that you have been deceived and betrayed by the one you trusted most intimately. Flooded with thoughts of "I don't know who they are anymore", "how could they do this to me?" or "what's wrong with me-am I not enough?" Desperately searching for answers, yet nothing makes sense amongst the exhausting chaos. Alone and wrestling between despair and hope that there is help for you and your partner; a possibility for recovery and healing.

Couples often wait 7 years prior to seeking professional help. It is unsurprising that many couples who seek couples therapy have experienced chronic conflict, resentment, and disconnection, which paralyzes the growth of their relationship. Dr. Holt’s passion involves helping couples caught in a vicious cycle find true healing, safety, and deep connection again. Her approach centers on addressing the unresolved attachment injuries—such as feelings of rejection or inadequacy—that fuels the negative cycle couples experience. When the attachment injuries remain untreated, this hinders the security and connection between partners.

I am most helpful working with adults who lack meaning or purpose in their lives, who feel a gap that they cannot fill; with those who sense time passing by and they are not fully engaged, living the life they could; often they don’t even know what that life looks like and even more often they feel alone.
I will approach you with a wide-open mind, with many questions and few answers. I don’t like to call this thing we do therapy, but work. Challenging work. Good work. It will help you figure out what you can change in your life and how, so that you find fulfillment in the present and enjoy Today. But only if you really want to.

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.
