Attachment Therapy for Healthy Relationships in San Antonio

Rebuild Trust and Heal Attachment Wounds with Attachment Therapy

You crave connection... but safety feels out of reach.

No matter how hard you try, relationships leave you feeling anxious, unsure, isolated, and sometimes unlovable.

You long for closeness.

For security. But your attachment style - shaped by old attachment wounds and sometimes deep relationship trauma - keeps making everything more complicated. And honestly? You’re worn out from trying to figure it all out alone.

Feeling Drained? Why Over-Giving Leaves You Drained & Disconnected

You’re giving beyond your limits - pouring energy into relationships, work, and family while chasing connection, approval, and peace of mind. Yet, no matter how much you give, it often feels like it’s never enough, or sometimes, overwhelmingly too much.

You strive to be the perfect partner, the reliable friend, the attentive parent. You keep giving, hoping this time you’ll finally feel secure and valued. But here’s the truth: it’s not your fault. You’re caught in old survival patterns designed to keep you safe…not to help you thrive.

Emotional Overload and Relationship Anxiety: How Therapy Can Help

This anxious, overwhelmed feeling doesn’t just show up in your love life. It follows you into every area - friends, work, parenting, family.

With friends, you carry the emotional labor, always smoothing things over- and when they don’t reply, your mind races: Did I say something wrong?

At work, you say “yes” even when you want to say “no,” taking on too much and still fearing you’re falling short.

With your kids, you second-guess your every move: Am I doing enough? Feeling like you always have to be perfect is never far away.

With family, you avoid conflict, keep the peace, and put your own needs last.

You may have read countless blogs, listened to podcasts, taken quizzes, and watched attachment-style videos late at night. But knowing your attachment style hasn’t made it easier. You’re exhausted - deeply worn out.

And maybe anxiety isn’t the only challenge.

Maybe you pull away just when connection starts to feel real. You try to appear calm, independent, easygoing - but inside, trusting feels risky and fragile.

If you struggle with avoidant patterns, it’s not about not caring; it’s about protecting yourself.

But true safety isn’t about distance or shutting down… it’s about healing old attachment trauma.

It’s Not Your Fault: Your Attachment Style Was Shaped by Your Past

You didn’t choose this. Your attachment style didn’t show up out of nowhere.

It was built by experiences, relationships, and moments that taught you:

※ Love is something you have to earn, not something freely given.

※ Worthiness feels like a reward for hard work.

※ If you let your guard down, they’ll walk away.

※ Vulnerability invites abandonment.

※ Relying on yourself feels safer than reaching out.

These patterns were your protection, yet they can feel like cages built for safety.

And I’m here to remind you... it doesn’t have to stay this way.

You Are Enough: Rebuild Your Self-Worth in Attachment Therapy

Imagine the quiet steadiness of deep roots underground - holding firm even when the world feels chaotic.

❉ You feel calm.

❉ Your heart is steady, your mind isn’t in overdrive, and for the first time in a long while…you truly believe you’re enough. Just as you are.

❉ You don’t second-guess every word or action.

❉ You trust the people in your life without needing constant reassurance or retreating into hyper-independence and isolation.

❉ You feel confident at work, knowing one mistake doesn’t define you.

❉ You set boundaries without that pit-in-your-stomach fear: What if they leave?

❉ Relationships - romantic, family, friendships - feel safe, balanced, and mutual.

❉ If you protect yourself by pulling away, wearing self-reliance like armor - healing means finding safety without shutting down. It’s about softening your edges enough to let connection in, without losing yourself.

This is possible. Really. And trauma-informed attachment therapy can help you get there.

Love and connection can - and should - feel safe.

FAQ: Attachment Therapy in San Antonio

  • Attachment-focused therapy goes deeper than surface-level counseling or symptom management. We don’t just talk about your current relationships - we explore how your earliest bonds shaped how safe (or unsafe) it feels to connect today.

    This trauma-informed approach helps you rewrite old patterns at their root, not just manage them.

  • I work primarily with anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant (disorganized) attachment styles, which often intersect with trauma and anxiety - at the heart of my work.

    For those with more pronounced dismissive (sometimes called dismissive-avoidant) attachment, therapy often requires specific readiness and a different approach centered on building a greater and different level of safety, and increasing emotional awareness.

    While I don’t specialize in this area, I’m happy to connect you with therapists who focus on helping clients who identify as having a dismissive-avoidant attachment style.

  • Every client’s healing timeline is different. Some clients start feeling small shifts in a few months; deeper changes often need more time.

    Together, we’ll go at a pace that respects your nervous system, your goals, and your capacity to feel safe while doing this work.

  • I don’t work with couples at this time, and support individuals who want to heal their attachment wounds first. When you feel secure in yourself, your relationships naturally become healthier.

  • No problem at all. You don’t need to label yourself to benefit from this work. We’ll figure it out together in session. What matters most is how you feel in relationships now and what feels hard or painful to trust.

  • Absolutely! Many attachment wounds stem from childhood trauma, neglect, or emotional mis-attunement. As a trauma and attachment therapist, I hold space for both, so you don’t have to separate them or explain away your pain.

  • Never. This is a space for you to show up fully human - imperfect, tender, guarded, hopeful. There’s nothing in you that needs to be “fixed.” We’ll focus on helping you feel ready enough to connect without fear or pretending.

  • Yes! You don’t have to force yourself to change overnight or share everything at once.

    Avoidant patterns are protective: they helped you feel safe when closeness felt risky. In attachment therapy, we’ll move at your pace to understand where those walls came from and gently soften them, so you can let connection in without losing yourself.

    You’ll learn how to trust, stay present, and feel safe being close, without feeling trapped or overwhelmed.

  • Yes! And it doesn’t mean changing who you are, but healing what’s been protecting you for so long. Through attachment therapy, we’ll gently rewire old patterns, soothe your nervous system, and strengthen your self-worth.

    Over time, trust, closeness, and healthy boundaries will feel natural instead of scary or suffocating. Secure attachment isn’t about being perfect - it’s about feeling safe to be fully yourself, with others and within your own mind.

  • Yes! If you live in San Antonio or anywhere in Texas, I offer secure remote sessions so you can do this work in the comfort of your own space.
