One of your biggest challenges in therapy is taking the first steps: choosing a therapist and making the first appointment. You may be worried about whether your therapist will be a good fit, finally confronting a problem, or sitting in the same room with your partner or family. Our first conversations will be about how I can help you and whether I'm the right person to help you regain peace in your family or relationship.

Seeking counseling is a sign of strength and listening to your intuition that something doesn’t quite feel right. Every person has their own unique experiences that have helped shape who they are today. You may be experiencing some emptiness, unhappiness, life dissatisfaction, or relational discord with others. I rely on my intuition, training, and mental health expertise to guide you towards uncovering the barriers that are preventing you from achieving happiness and peace of mind. If we don’t have peace within ourselves, how can we attempt to have positive, healthy relationships with others and the world in which we live?

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.
