Attachment Wounds & Emotional Neglect Therapy in Texas

You notice the same relationship patterns playing out again and again—pulling close, shutting down, chasing, withdrawing.
These cycles often trace back to early attachment wounds: times you felt unseen, unsafe, or alone.


Through relational, psychodynamic therapy, I help you understand what’s driving those reactions and learn how to create relationships that feel secure, mutual, and real.

Anxious, Avoidant, and Disorganized Attachment Styles

This might sound familiar:

  • You second-guess everything you say or do in relationships

  • You chase love… and then push it away when it feels too close

  • You feel unsafe being vulnerable or emotionally honest

  • You worry you're “too much” or secretly unlovable

  • You replay conversations for hours or shut down to avoid feeling hurt

Attachment struggles don’t mean you’re broken. They often start in childhood relationships that taught you love wasn’t consistent, safe, or guaranteed. Therapy helps you rewrite that — from the inside out.

What therapy looks like for attachment wounds:

  • We notice how your old patterns show up — even with me

  • We build a relationship where you can be seen and safe at the same time

  • I’ll name and hold space for the parts of you that expect rejection, distance, or hurt

  • We use the therapy relationship itself to help you build trust and emotional safety

You don’t need to be “better” to be worthy. You just need a space to be real — and someone to walk with you through it.

What is Depth Therapy?

I use a psychodynamic, relational approach rooted in AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and NARM (Neuro-Affective Relational Model)- both trauma-informed, attachment-based models that help you heal at the core.

That means we don’t just talk about your feelings, we slow down and actually feel them together, in real time.

I pay close attention to how you show up emotionally, relationally, and even right here in the therapy room. Together, we work with the parts of you that learned to shut down, smile through pain, or over-function to stay safe.

If you’ve tried therapy before that felt too polite, too surface-level, or too focused on “fixing,” you’ll notice the difference here. This work goes deeper, helping you understand yourself, build self-trust, and create change that lasts.

 FAQs

  • Attachment-focused therapy helps you understand how your early relationships impact how you connect (or disconnect) from others now. It’s especially helpful for anxiety in relationships, trust issues, emotional shutdown, or fear of abandonment.

  • Yes. Therapy can help you identify your attachment style, understand your patterns in relationships, and work through the fear, shame, or emotional withdrawal that keeps you stuck.

  • Not at all. Attachment wounds show up in friendships, family dynamics, and even at work. Therapy helps you understand your emotional wiring and build safer, more secure relationships across the board.

  • If you crave closeness but also fear it — or if you cycle between pulling people in and pushing them away — you might be dealing with disorganized attachment. Therapy can help you feel safe being close without losing yourself.
