Attachment

Human beings are wired for connection. I help clients explore their early attachment patterns and how they impact current connections. Together, we can uncover deep-rooted emotional dynamics, fostering healthier, more secure relationships.

Completed attachment based training, including EFIT and EFT. I believe that most of the symptoms bringing people to therapy are the result of nervous system dysregulation secondary to childhood attachment traumas. Caregivers' inability to attune to a child, lack of modeling of appropriate emotion management, and child's efforts to adjust to their flawed environments, etc. all lead to long term difficulties with navigating interpersonal relationships and sense of internal turmoil.

Do you have difficulty being vulnerable in your relationships? Do you find yourself unable to reach the level of closeness or emotional depth you desire? I would love to help. I deeply enjoy helping people connect with others in their lives in ways they never thought possible. This usually entails giving yourself a chance to explore what has been getting in the way, which often means taking a compassionate look at the first relationships you developed in your life.

I have worked with clients who experienced attachment issues from childhood that have now impacted their adult relationships. This includes intimate relationships. Understanding your attachment style can allow you to make changes that will improve your relationships with others.

I have specialty training in how trauma suffered during childhood impacts ongoing attachment styles. This is my primary area of expertise.

There is a theory that all psychologic issues stem from attachment wounds and that everyone one has attachment wounds. Now, I'm not sure if that is really true, but we at least all have a first heartbreak. I have helped with deep attachment issues such as, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, and chronic codependence. Your attachment wounds may not be that severe, but they are may still be negatively affecting your relationships in ways you don't realize.

My work supporting individuals across the spectrum of mental illness owes itself to attachment theory, self-concept development, and DBT/interpersonal effectiveness skills-building modalities. As human beings, we are, by definition, social and relational organisms that exist within a spectrum of ubiquitous contexts. Together, we will work to better-understand family dynamics, explore various attachment styles, and build better communication/boundary-setting skills.

Do you push people away when you get too close? Or are you the kind of person that needs constant contact to know your relationship is okay? Lets talk about your attachment and find ways to make your relationships more meaningful.

An individual with attachment challenges may struggle in relationships ( Maintaining them, trusting other people, feeling safe in a relationship and forming healthy bonds with others. Creating healthy emotional bonds has a tremendous impact on our lives. Let me help you create the sense of belonging with your loves ones!

Attachment styles are not developed randomly. They are formed from all the "good" and "bad" encounters with our primary caretakers/family, which construct a mental and physical story of how we view and interact in our romantic, familial, and social relationships. These experiences can shape and distort our authentic self and influence our connections to others and the world. Gaining insight into your own attachment styles can be transformative in making shifts in creating deeper relationships.

I believe that attachment is the foundation for all relationships. I help my clients to understand their attachment style and how this may be preventing them from living the life that they want/.

Life is all about relationship--with others as well as ourselves. I believe so much of our struggling and suffering has to do with the wounds, unbalanced conditioning, and false beliefs that cut us off from knowing closeness, safety, and and fulfillment in connection. The concept of attachment is something I have studied and continue to study deeply because I know that the number one ingredient for successful therapy is strong and authentic connection.

I work with clients to better understand the way your attachment styles impact the significant relationships in your life. I believe that we are all capable of different attachment orientations (sometimes at the same time) and I help clients recognize the way historic relational patterns impact impact them today.

Attachment can be a helpful roadmap to explore and integrate into understanding yourself, others and your relationship dynamics. I have taken many trainings on how to best understand each individual person and their relational strengths as well as identify challenges in creating healthy, sustainable connection with close loved ones. I welcome people of all identities to explore how they best connect and find insight into what they need to feel more secure in their relationships.

Our relationship with those closest to us affects how we form our own identities, and impacts how we interact with everyone else around us. Attachment and trauma experiences go hand in hand, and play a huge role in how and why one experiences mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, low self-worth, anger, dissociation, and so much more. I aim to help you recognize these attachment concerns and how they affect you, and work through them.

Our early experiences with primary caregivers can set the stage for how one approaches relationships throughout life. I work with clients to establish a trusting client-counselor relationship that can be used as a blueprint for strengthening other relationships and can serve as a foundation for vibrant mental health.

I work with mentalizatiion-based treatments and the Brown?Elliot Three Pillars model of attachment disorder repair.
