Have you been called needy, or maybe cold or distant by people you’re close to? Do you swing between craving connection or attention and shutting down when it feels too close? These patterns come from what psychologists call insecure attachment styles. AKA: relationship patterns we learn early in life and carry into adulthood. You’ve done the work: read self-help books, listened to podcasts, journaled, reflected, maybe even talked things through with A.I. chats at 2 a.m. But somehow the same painful patterns keep looping back. That’s not failure, it’s your attachment system trying to keep you safe, even when it’s keeping you stuck.
Unless we consciously work to change the attachment patterns shaping how we relate to ourselves and others, we’ll keep repeating the same painful relationship cycles. Changing partners, friends, locations, or jobs rarely fixes the root cause. Real change happens through attachment-based therapy—deep emotional work that actually sticks.
I'll help you see why your relationships keep breaking down & how to stop repeating what hurts. We will identify your triggers & build self-soothing tools that actually work. You'll learn resilience & boundary setting that protects your peace without pushing love away. Attachment-based therapy isn’t an overnight fix. It’s long-term & heals at the root.

In our work together, I'll use IFS-informed therapy to help you understand the parts of yourself that react, protect, or shut down. We'll also use cognitive restructuring to shift the old stories & thought patterns that keep you stuck. I sometimes bring in mindfulness and visualization tools to lay down new neural pathways and create a future that looks and feels better than today.
