Healing Attachment Wounds Through Integrative Therapy

Attachment shapes the way we connect, trust, and relate to others. It begins in early childhood through the relationship between a child and their caregiver. The quality and consistency of that bond, and the degree of attunement a child receives, form the blueprint for understanding love, safety, and belonging. When those early relationships are inconsistent, neglectful, or ruptured, it can lead to patterns of anxiety, avoidance, or ambivalence in adult relationships.

Attachment patterns are not fixed. They are adaptive strategies that once protected us from pain or disconnection. Over time, however, these same strategies can interfere with intimacy, communication, and our ability to feel secure in our connections. You might notice cycles of overgiving, withdrawal, fear of abandonment, or difficulty trusting that relationships can be both safe and nourishing. Recognizing these patterns is not about blame. It is the first step toward change.

Attachment repair begins by slowing down and exploring how past experiences live in the body and shape current relationships. Through somatic and trauma-informed therapy, we work to understand how your nervous system responds to closeness, conflict, and vulnerability. This awareness allows space for new experiences of safety and connection to take root. Therapy helps you build trust in yourself, your boundaries, and your ability to form a secure attachment.

I work with clients across New York and Connecticut, offering virtual sessions. The process of attachment repair is gentle and collaborative. It focuses on creating a consistent and attuned therapeutic relationship that models what a secure connection feels like. From there, you can begin to extend that sense of safety into other relationships, allowing connection to become a source of strength rather than stress.
