Very often we find ourselves having the same arguments all the time in our personal relationships. Sometimes we get hurt like we have never been before and we can’t understand why it hurts so much. Old patterns and unresolved issues can keep us stuck in the same place at times. Never having learned healthy ways of communicating, we do not know how to get the results we want. So many of us go through these challenges at various stages of our lives, with work, personal and professional relationships and raising children. Some of these challenges can seem overwhelming and can drag us down.

I’ve learned that we all will experience pain, hardships, and valleys - where we could use some hope and help, to find our way out. Those valleys can be difficult, devastating, and overwhelming at times, especially to face on our own. In those difficult times, trauma’s effects, emotional wounds, life burdens, relational challenges, and transitions - can seem insurmountable to navigate, and sometimes struggles enter our life: by surprise, at length, or in great abundance.

I specialize in preventing Executive Burnout, enhancing Leaders Mental Health & workplace wellbeing. Executives, often balancing intense work demands with high-stake decisions, face unique challenges. Many women leaders also juggle caregiving besides work. Despite LOAs & expensive vacations, burnout or MH challenges persist & worsen year over year. Exhaustion, resentment, disconnection and hopelessness accumulate, forcing a tough choice: "Do I have career success with suffering? Or resign to save health, marriage, and family?" If this is what’s keeping you up at night, you don’t have to suffer in silence or struggle alone anymore.

After a career in finance, including stints in investment banking and mortgage securitization, I decided that I needed a career that was more about people and less about spreadsheets. To that end, I completed training to become a mental health counselor, which is now my chosen profession. Becoming an ally to those working to make meaningful personal change or just navigate life’s challenges more peacefully has proven to be a profoundly rewarding career decision.

This is often all many clients need to adjust the way they view their life experiences. Self-awareness and self-care can be the answer to a fresh approach for many clients. The key is uncovering the client's issues to focus on the proper approach to adjusting the problems.

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.
