Attachment Wounds & Relationship Patterns
For the one who feels closeness is confusing, overwhelming, or just out of reach
You crave connection but don’t always trust it. You wonder if you're too much or not enough. You overanalyze every conversation or check out emotionally before things get too vulnerable.

What You Can Expect
Attachment wounds often start in childhood but show up everywhere—in romantic relationships, friendships, and family systems. And when you've experienced trauma, marginalization, or chronic invalidation, it’s not just personal. It’s systemic.
This isn’t about blaming your past. It’s about understanding it and working with the parts of you that still carry the pain.
We’ll work together to:
Trace the origin stories of your attachment patterns and survival strategies
Heal the parts of you that learned to disconnect, chase, appease, or disappear
Build internal safety so you can show up in relationships with more clarity and choice
Develop new experiences of trust, intimacy, and emotional connection—starting with yourself
This is relational trauma therapy that doesn’t ask you to bypass your identity. We center your lived experience as a BIPOC or First-Gen woman navigating relationships in a world shaped by harm, power, and performance.
My Approach
I support emotionally attuned, self-aware women who feel stuck in relational patterns that no longer serve them. I won’t ask you to fix yourself, I’ll help you reconnect with the parts of you that never felt safe enough to be close, vulnerable, or fully seen.
This work is deep, compassionate, and grounded in a decolonized, justice-centered lens. It’s not about fixing you. It’s about coming back home to the parts of you that were never broken to begin with.
