Our early childhood experiences can leave deep emotional imprints.
who is attachment trauma therapy for?
Attachment trauma therapy is for anyone who feels stuck in painful relationship patterns, struggles with emotional closeness, or has a deep fear of abandonment or rejection. If you find yourself anxious in relationships, constantly people-pleasing, or feeling unworthy of love, you may be carrying unresolved attachment wounds from early life experiences. As a therapist in Houston, Texas, I specialize in helping women identify and heal these patterns so they can build secure, connected, and fulfilling relationships. I also see a lot of individuals who identify as adult children of emotionally immature parents.
Attachment trauma can show up as difficulty trusting others, chronic anxiety, fear of intimacy, of feeling emotionally numb. It can affect romantic relationships, friendships, and even the relationship you have with yourself. In therapy, we create a safe, compassionate space to explore your story, regulate your nervous system, and begin to form healthier patterns of connection.
If you’re in Houston and ready to break free from the emotional weight of attachment trauma, I’m here to support your healing and help you rediscover your worth.
How I can help
In therapy, we’ll explore how your early relational experiences may be impacting your current relationships and emotional well-being.
Attachment trauma often stems from early relational wounds that impact how we connect with ourselves and others. When these experiences are processed within the safety of a supportive therapeutic relationship, real healing can begin. Therapy offers a corrective emotional experience—a secure, attuned relationship that helps you better understand your unconscious reactions and begin creating new, healthier ways of relating.
In therapy, you can:
Strengthen your relationship with yourself
Unpack and shift old attachment patterns
Learn to regulate your emotions more effectively
Develop healthier, more secure relationships
Because relational trauma often shapes our internal narrative, many people with attachment wounds experience anxiety, insecurity, or a deep sense of unworthiness. Through attachment-focused therapy, you can begin to rewrite those inner stories.
Common Signs of Attachment Trauma Include:
Anxious, avoidant, or insecure attachment styles rooted in fear of abandonment
Having emotionally immature caregivers who minimized or invalidated your needs
Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns in hopes of a different outcome
Growing up with a parent who struggled with mental health or addiction
Experiencing emotional or physical neglect or trauma in childhood
Difficulty regulating emotions, communicating needs, or feeling safe in relationships
Persistent relationship anxiety and attempts to soothe it in ineffective ways
Attachment therapy can help you move from reactivity and self-doubt toward connection, self-trust, and emotional security. My online therapy practice in Houston provides a safe, empathetic space for this deep and meaningful work. You don’t have to navigate these patterns alone—healing is possible.

Attachment theory helps us make sense of how we relate to others—especially in close relationships. It centers around four primary attachment styles: secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized. These patterns are often shaped by early childhood experiences, but the good news is that they’re not fixed—your attachment style can evolve with insight and healing.
In therapy, we’ll explore your unique attachment needs, how your early relationships may have influenced your current patterns, and how to begin healing from attachment wounds. This work can help you cultivate more security in your relationships—with others and with yourself.
