Breakup recovery, relationship anxiety, and anxious attachment patterns

Therapy for women who love deeply but feel alone, confused, or too much

​
 

Healing for those with big hearts who just want someone to show up for them the way they show up for everyone else
 

You've always loved big.

You give your whole heart. You care deeply. You show up fully.

And yet... you often end up feeling unseen, unheard, or unchosen.

Maybe you're in the aftermath of a breakup and feel like you've lost a piece of yourself.

Maybe you're in a relationship that looks fine-but doesn't feel emotionally safe.

Maybe you keep repeating the same relationship patterns, and you're starting to wonder, "why does this keep happening?"


 

Let's name it gently:

You may be navigating anxious attachment, and it's not your fault.
​
​

What is anxious attachment?

Anxious attachment is a pattern that often develops when love felt inconsistent, conditional, or confusing in childhood and/or in significant intimate relationships.

As an adult, it can look like:
 

  • Overanalyzing texts and body language

  • Feeling anxious when your partner pulls away

  • Struggling to relax unless you feel "reassured"

  • Giving too much, too soon-just to feel wanted

  • Silencing your needs to avoid conflict

  • Feeling like you're "too much" or "not enough"

  • Staying in relationships that feel like you have to earn love

​

And when a relationship ends?
It doesn't just feel sad, it feels devastating. Like a core part of your identity has shattered.

Common cycles of anxious preoccupied attachment style:

You don't have to go through this alone

There's nothing wrong with how deeply you love. But there is a way to love without losing yourself.

These were adaptations you learned to keep yourself emotionally safe, which means that you can unlearn them and heal.

​

I help my clients teach their nervous systems that they are safe now and that the love and connection they crave is possible.

How individual therapy can help:

Together, we'll explore the deeper roots of your relationship patterns and work gently but powerfully to heal them.

In our work, you'll learn to:

  • Understand your attachment style without shame

  • Identify and express your emotional needs (without guilt)

  • Build internal safety so you don't rely on external validation to feel okay

  • Move through breakups without collapsing into self-blame

  • Grieve the future you thought you were building-and reclaim your present

  • Reconnect to your self-worth, boundaries, and truth

  • Create a new outline for love, one rooted in mutuality, not survival

You make sense here. You are seen here.

You don't have to become "less needy" or "more chill."

You just need relationships where your needs are safe to name and honored with care.

We'll start by building that relationship with yourself.

Who this work is for:

I work with women who are:​

  • Navigating painful breakups or on-again, off-again relationships

  • Feeling anxious or preoccupied in dating or long-term relationships

  • Stuck in looping patterns of people-pleasing, overgiving, or emotional chasing

  • Questioning why love feels so hard, or so emotionally unsafe

  • Ready to explore their attachment style and build healthier patterns

  • Desiring more ease, clarity, and self-trust

 

You might be dating, partnered, divorced, or in the in-between.
This work isn't just about "getting over someone"-it's about finally coming back to yourself.

​
 

You're Not Too Much. You're Just Ready for More.

 

You've been taught to shrink your needs. To fear being abandoned. To believe that love has to be earned, not received.

But you are allowed to take up space in your relationships.
You're allowed to want closeness, reassurance, connection.
You're allowed to outgrow survival patterns in love.

In therapy, you'll build the kind of emotional security you've always longed for-not from a partner, but from within.

Because the safest love begins with you.

I'm a therapist for women who love deeply, and often feel unseen

Attachment theory is rooted in decades of research yet most of us are struggling with our own attachment wounds and don't understand why. It's estimated that 80% of the adult population struggles with an insecure attachment style, one of which is known as anxious preoccupied attachment. If any of this information has sounded familiar to you, you are not alone or abnormal. 

​

I know what it's like to overfunction in relationships, to silence your needs for the sake of closeness, and to feel like you're always chasing safety that never quite arrives. You're not needy, you're human. You just haven't felt safe enough to be fully held.

​

As a licensed therapist, I specialize in helping my clients untangle the shame, grief, and patterns of anxious attachment wounds. I'll walk with you as you grieve the love you didn't receive, name the needs you were told were "too much", and build the kind of secure connections you've always deserved, starting with yourself.

​

This is your space to stop chasing and start healing.
