THERAPY FOR
Childhood Trauma & Attachment Wounds
Early relationships shape how you experience safety, connection, and self-worth.
Many people do not identify their early experiences as trauma. Instead, they notice long-standing patterns in adulthood—such as anxiety in relationships, emotional overwhelm, or difficulty trusting others. These patterns are often adaptive responses to earlier environments.
You might relate if you find yourself thinking:
Fear being “too much” or “not enough”
Struggle with closeness or trust
Feel responsible for maintaining emotional harmony in relationships
Have difficulty identifying your needs
Become overwhelmed by conflict or criticism
Feel disconnected from your emotions or body
How do attachment wounds form?
Attachment wounds are not about blame. They are about adaptation.
When emotional needs were inconsistently met, minimized, or overwhelming to express, the nervous system learns ways to protect connection—even at the cost of self-abandonment.
These strategies can continue into adulthood long after the original environment has changed.
How would therapy help?
Therapy helps you understand these patterns with clarity and compassion, so they no longer feel like fixed parts of who you are.
Together, we work on:
recognizing relational patterns as they happen
understanding emotional triggers and protective responses
building internal safety and self-trust
reducing shame around needs and emotions
developing healthier relational boundaries
My approach is integrative, which means I draw from different therapeutic perspectives rather than expecting one approach to fit everyone. Together, we’ll find what fits you. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced. We move at a speed that helps you feel safe enough to notice patterns without becoming overwhelmed by them.
What approach do you use?
I integrate Attachment-Based therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Relational therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, and Somatic and Nervous System Regulation.
We focus on both emotional insight and embodied safety.
What does change look like when healing?
There’s no one size fits all answer to therapy, but over time, people often experience:
greater emotional stability in relationships
improved ability to identify needs
reduced fear of conflict or closeness
more self-trust and internal grounding
Therapy isn’t about showing up in crisis or finding an instant solution. It’s a dedication and investment in yourself. You deserve to find who you are without depending on someone to define that for you.
