Healing from Attachment Trauma

Attachment wounds often begin in our earliest relationships—times when we needed safety, care, or attunement, but instead experienced disconnection, inconsistency, or harm. These early patterns can echo into adulthood, leaving us feeling anxious, mistrustful, unworthy, or caught in cycles of push-and-pull in relationships.

In therapy, we’ll work together to gently uncover the impact of these experiences and build new ways of relating—to yourself and to others—that are grounded in security, self-trust, and compassion.

I draw from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help you understand the emotional bonds that shape your relationships and to create more secure, nurturing connections. With Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), we can process and release the lingering pain of past experiences so old patterns no longer have such a powerful hold on your present. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), you’ll learn to recognize and care for the different “parts” of yourself—especially the protective and wounded parts shaped by early attachment wounds—so that your inner world feels more integrated and at peace.

Because trauma also lives in the body, I integrate somatic and mind-body tools such as grounding, breathwork, and mindfulness to help regulate your nervous system and bring a sense of safety back into the present moment.

With support, it is possible to move beyond survival strategies into a fuller, more connected way of living—where closeness feels safe, your boundaries feel solid, and you can experience love, trust, and belonging without fear.
