Attachment-based therapy is an approach to therapy that focuses on understanding the way we emotionally bond with each other. It addresses patterns of attachment developed in early relationships and their connection to the adult relationships that we cultivate. Attachment matters because it is fundamental to the human experience and effects every relationship in our lives. I genuinely believe that attachment work is the most vital work you can do to build your personal and relational insight.

Perhaps you are experiencing excessive worry, restlessness, fatigue, muscle tension, catastrophic thinking, relational worries, panic attacks, gastrointestinal issues, sleeping disturbances, shortness of breath, or increased heart rate. If left untreated, anxiety can become debilitating and lonely. However, through our therapy we will face the symptoms you're experiencing, process where they are experiencing, process where they are stemming from, and brainstorm ways to reduce your anxiety.

Do you find yourself: Running into frequent communication barriers? Having conflict that doesn't find resolution? Struggling to connect with you partner deeply (emotionally or physically)? Not knowing how to rebuild trust after a betrayal? Feeling concerned for your relationship's future? Wanting to improve your relationship, but not knowing how? If any of this feels true for you then you've come to the right place. We will work together to address your concerns and build greater closeness.

Attachment-based therapy is an approach to therapy that focuses on understanding the way we emotionally bond with each other. It addresses patterns of attachment developed in early relationships and their connection to the adult relationships that we cultivate. This therapy is grounded in attachment theory, which suggests that the quality of early attachments influences an individual's emotional, social, and relational development throughout life.

Our relationships are foundational to our overall health, happiness and well-being. However, we often have not seen ideal models of how to build a secure, healthy, and fulfilling relationship. Therefore, we can run into obstacles around communication, conflict resolution, and connection building. However, if we are committed to continued growth and insight then it is possible to break old patterns and create healthy and lasting relationships.

I come from a very relational and attachment-based style. The most predictive factor in therapy is the therapeutic bond between counselor and client, so I am committed to making sure that my clients feel that the therapy environment is a safe, open, and accepting space. I believe that my clients are the experts on their own lives and my job is to help guide them to finding their own answers.
