Therapies
Attachment-based therapy focuses on the profound ways our early relationships shape our emotional well-being and how we connect with others throughout our lives. It’s a deeply rewarding approach that helps clients uncover the roots of their relational patterns and build healthier, more secure connections. In my practice, I’ve seen how understanding attachment can unlock a deeper sense of self and create lasting change in relationships.
This form of therapy is grounded in the idea that our earliest bonds—especially with caregivers—affect how we approach trust, intimacy, and vulnerability. If those bonds were disrupted or strained, they can leave lasting imprints that show up as challenges in adulthood, like difficulty setting boundaries, fear of abandonment, or an inability to fully trust others. Attachment-based therapy helps you explore those patterns and rewrite the story of how you relate to others—and yourself.

What Are the Challenges of Attachment-Based Therapy?
Emotional Depth: Delving into early experiences can bring up intense feelings of sadness, anger, or loss, which may take time to process.
Relearning Patterns: Changing deeply ingrained relational habits requires patience and practice, especially if they’ve been reinforced over many years.
Complex Dynamics: Addressing current relationships alongside early experiences can feel overwhelming at times but is a crucial part of the healing process.
Attachment-based therapy is about more than repairing relationships—it’s about reconnecting with yourself and creating a foundation for healthier connections moving forward. Whether you’re struggling with trust, navigating family challenges, or seeking to improve emotional intimacy, this approach offers a path to meaningful growth and healing. Together, we can explore the roots of your attachment patterns and help you build the secure, connected relationships you deserve.
