Trauma & Attachment

Healing past wounds and strengthening connection

Trauma does not always look the way we expect. It is not only the result of dramatic or obvious events - it can also come from years of feeling unseen, unsafe, or alone. Attachment wounds formed early in life can shape how you relate to yourself and others long after the original experiences have passed, showing up as patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, difficulty trusting, or a persistent sense of not being quite enough.

You may not even identify what you carry as trauma. But if you find yourself repeating patterns you cannot explain, feeling disconnected from yourself, or struggling to feel safe in relationships, therapy can help you begin to understand why — and to change it.

Is therapy right for you?

You might benefit from trauma or attachment-focused work if you:

  • Carry unresolved pain from past experiences, whether or not you label it as trauma

  • Notice patterns repeating across relationships that you cannot seem to shift

  • Find it hard to feel safe, present, or settled in your daily life

  • Want to develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself and others

How we work together

We work at your pace, following what feels safe and right for you. Using an IFS-trained approach, we gently connect with the parts of you holding pain or protection — not to force anything open, but to help those parts feel heard and understood so that healing becomes possible.

I draw on my integrative training, including psychodynamic, somatic, and relational approaches, alongside IFS. Creative methods like imagery can also support the process when helpful.
