If you’ve ever wondered why relationships can feel so difficult — why you might cling too tightly, push people away, or fear being let down — attachment wounds may be at the root.
​
Attachment therapy helps you understand the way early experiences with caregivers shaped your view of yourself and others, and how those patterns play out in your current relationships. The good news? These patterns are not permanent. With support, you can build healthier, more secure ways of connecting.
Attachment is the emotional bond we form with our caregivers in childhood. When our needs for love, safety, and consistency are met, we develop a secure attachment — a foundation that helps us feel safe in the world and in relationships.
​
But when those needs aren’t met — through emotional unavailability, inconsistency, neglect, or conflict — we may develop insecure attachment styles that follow us into adulthood.
If you have an anxious attachment style, you might:
​
-
Worry about being abandoned or unloved
-
Overthink text messages, calls, or small changes in tone
-
Feel like you’re “too much” or “not enough” for others
-
Struggle to trust that people will stay consistent
​
This often comes from growing up with inconsistent caregiving — when love, attention, or safety felt unpredictable. As an adult, this can show up as clinging to relationships out of fear of losing them, even if they’re not meeting your needs.
If you have an avoidant attachment style, you might:
​
-
Feel uncomfortable depending on others
-
Struggle to open up emotionally
-
Pull away when relationships get too close
-
Value independence but secretly long for connection
​
This often develops when caregivers were emotionally unavailable or dismissive. As an adult, you may protect yourself by keeping others at a distance — but inside, you may still crave closeness and safety.
Healing attachment wounds is about learning that relationships can feel safe, supportive, and nurturing. In therapy, we will:
​
-
Explore your patterns and how they developed
-
Notice when anxious or avoidant responses show up in your life
-
Build skills to regulate your nervous system and emotions
-
Reprocess painful experiences (using EMDR and IFS) so they no longer hold the same power
-
Learn to quiet the negative self-talk and painful beliefs you carry about yourself in relationships
-
Practice new ways of relating — with yourself and with others — that feel secure and balanced
I specialize in helping adults who grew up with emotionally unavailable parents or who struggle in relationships today because of anxious or avoidant attachment.
Using EMDR, IFS (Parts Work), and EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), I help you release old wounds, connect with your true self, and create healthier, more secure connections with others.
​
You don’t have to stay stuck in old patterns. Attachment therapy can help you move from fear and disconnection toward trust, intimacy, and resilience.
Attachment wounds can feel overwhelming, but change is possible. With the right support, you can begin to shift old patterns and create stronger, healthier relationships.
