Attachment & Relationship Trauma Therapy in California
Some wounds don’t look dramatic from the outside — but they shape everything. If you find yourself overthinking, people-pleasing, shutting down, clinging, or pulling away in relationships, attachment and relationship trauma may be running underneath. I offer virtual attachment and relationship trauma therapy in California for young adults who want to understand their patterns, heal the deeper wound, and build more secure ways of relating.
What is attachment and relationship trauma?
Attachment trauma often forms in early relationships where love felt inconsistent, emotionally unsafe, conditional, neglectful, or hard to trust. Relationship trauma can show up later through abandonment, betrayal, infidelity, emotional unavailability, chronic instability, or repeated dynamics that leave you feeling too much, not enough, or never fully chosen. Therapy helps make sense of those patterns so you’re not just reacting to them – you’re actually healing them.

How attachment and relationship trauma therapy can help
In therapy, we look beneath the surface of the relationship pattern itself. That might mean exploring your early attachment wounds, identifying the beliefs you formed about love and safety, noticing how those patterns live in your body and nervous system, and processing the experiences that keep repeating in the present. The goal is not to blame your past – it’s to help you build more clarity, self-trust, and security in the way you relate.
