Attachment-Based Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy is a transformative approach grounded in the science of attachment theory, which highlights the importance of early relationships in shaping our emotional and relational development. If you’re struggling with issues stemming from your relationships, whether they’re current dynamics or rooted in your past, Attachment-Based Therapy can offer profound insights and healing.

As an Attachment-Based therapist, I guide my clients through understanding how their early attachment experiences influence their current ways of relating to others and themselves. This approach is particularly effective for individuals experiencing difficulties in forming or maintaining relationships, dealing with emotional dysregulation, or struggling with a sense of self.

The core components of Attachment-Based Therapy include:

  • Exploration of Early Attachments
  • Understanding Attachment Styles
  • Healing Relationship Trauma
  • Strengthening Current Relationships
  • Building a Secure Foundation


This approach is not just about looking back; it’s about moving forward with a stronger, more secure sense of attachment, improving your relationships and overall emotional health.

If you’re in Calgary, Alberta, and are curious about how Attachment-Based Therapy could benefit you, I invite you to book a free consultation with me.  My commitment is to provide a supportive, evidence-based path to stronger, healthier relationships and a more fulfilled life.
