Attachment & Relationship
Attachment shapes the way we love, trust, protect ourselves, and connect with others. If our earliest relationships were inconsistent, overwhelming, or unsafe, the nervous system learned to survive more than it learned to trust. These patterns can follow us into adulthood and show up in our relationships and the way we relate to our emotions.
My work supports you in understanding the roots of these patterns while building new ways of understanding that feel secure, grounded, and connected. Together, we explore both the emotional story and the nervous system responses that make certain relationships feel complicated, unpredictable, or painful.
Therapy may include somatic work, attachment-focused interventions, narrative exploration, and relational processing that helps you gently shift old patterns and expand your capacity for connection.
Please Note: Attachment Work is not about "fixing" you.
It is about helping the parts of you that learned to survive finally feel safe enough to soften, receive care, and trust themselves.
