Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment-based therapy looks at how your earliest relationships shaped the way you connect, trust, and protect yourself today.
What is attachment-based therapy?
From the start of life, we learn how relationships work: whether people are safe, whether our needs matter, and what we have to do to stay connected. Those early lessons often carry into adulthood, showing up in how we handle closeness, conflict, and being alone.
Attachment-based therapy draws on attachment theory to help you understand those patterns with compassion, and to build new, more secure ways of relating.
How it works
We’ll explore your relationship patterns, past and present, and how they show up in your life now. The relationship between you and me matters here too. Therapy can be a place to experience being heard and supported, which can make it easier to trust and connect elsewhere.
What it can help with
- Relationship stress and repeating patterns
- Fear of abandonment or difficulty trusting
- Feeling disconnected from partners or family
- Parent and teen relationships
- Family and intergenerational patterns
- Low self-worth rooted in early experiences
What it looks like with me
As a marriage and family therapist, I pay close attention to the relationships in your life and the family and cultural experiences that shaped you. We’ll move at your pace, and I’ll often combine this work with other approaches to give you practical tools along the way.
Is this right for you?
You don’t have to know which approach you need. Reach out, and we’ll talk about what you’re going through and what might help most.
