You learned to read the room early. To stay agreeable. Not need too much. Now you find yourself overgiving, overexplaining, or bracing for the moment someone pulls away. You want closeness, but you don’t trust it to last. Or something happened that broke the ground between you, and now every small misstep feels loaded. You are still here, but not fully safe. This is how relational trauma lives on. In our trauma informed attachment work, individually or as a couple, and at times with ketamine-assisted therapy when it serves the work, we turn toward these patterns together and slowly build trust that does not require you to disappear.

We slow the moment as it happens. The shift in your voice, or the silence that follows. The pull to defend, withdraw, or prove. Instead of moving past it, we stay. I help you put words to what feels risky and let the deeper emotion surface without shame. In that steady space, new experiences of honesty and repair take root, so change feels lived, not forced.

You may be unsure if it is safe to try again, on your own or with your partner/spouse. Unsure if opening up will bring you closer or reopen old wounds. You do not have to have it figured out. Just a willingness to be honest about where you are. If something here feels familiar, reach out through my website or email. We can see if we are a good fit.

I specialize in relational trauma, couples therapy, and psychedelic integration. Many clients feel caught in attachment patterns shaped by betrayal, neglect, or chronic misattunement. Together we process the injuries that still shape how you love and protect yourself, using emotionally focused and trauma informed work, and ketamine support when appropriate, so trust and intimacy can feel possible.
