A safe spot to land through the ups & downs of life
Attachment-Based Therapy for Lasting Change in Western WA
Do you find yourself wanting connection and support, while also fearing what will happen when people leave, change, or move on?
If you've experienced trauma, inconsistent caregiving, painful relationship ruptures, or repeated losses, it may be difficult to fully trust that support will remain available. You may find yourself yearning for connection while simultaneously preparing for disappointment, distance, or change.
You may wonder why relationships feel so much harder than they seem to for other people. Why reassurance doesn't always stick. Why being cared for can feel comforting one moment and frightening the next. Why you can deeply value connection while also feeling compelled to protect yourself from it.
These experiences are often rooted in attachment wounds, not personal shortcomings. The strategies you've developed make sense in light of what you've lived through. And because attachment wounds happen in relationships, healing can happen there, too- through experiencing connection that is safe enough to explore, steady enough to trust, and spacious enough for you to remain connected to yourself along the way.
What if healing happened not just through insight, but through experiencing a relationship that remains available over time?
How therapy works
Trust yourself more deeply, build healthier and more secure relationships, and experience connection without losing yourself in the process.
Many of the patterns that create difficulties in relationships began as ways of adapting to experiences that felt painful, unpredictable, or unsafe. While those strategies may have helped you navigate difficult circumstances, they can also make it harder to trust yourself, feel secure in relationships, or remain connected to your own needs and emotions.
In therapy, we'll work together to understand these patterns with curiosity and compassion, exploring the experiences that shaped them and the ways they continue to influence your life today. Using a blend of attachment-based, somatic, and trauma-informed approaches, we'll create space to notice what happens in your mind, body, and relationships, as well as begin practicing new ways of relating to yourself and others.
As our work unfolds, you can develop a greater sense of self-trust, navigate emotions with more confidence, and experience relationships with less fear and uncertainty. Rather than choosing between connection and self-protection, you'll have opportunities to build healthier, more secure relationships while remaining connected to yourself along the way.
I don't see myself as a healer or someone with all the answers. My role is to walk alongside you, offering support, insight, and a steady relationship where you can explore, grow, and practice something different over time. You don't have to figure it all out at once. Together, we can work toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentically your own.

Yes. While attachment patterns often begin early, they are not permanent. Healing can happen through safe, consistent relationships that offer new experiences of trust, connection, and emotional support. Therapy can become one place where that healing begins to unfold. Learn more.

Not at all. Some people come to therapy for a specific season of life, while others appreciate having a trusted therapeutic relationship they can return to when needed.
