Understanding Attachment &
Building Healthier Relationships
Relationships can be challenging—especially when communication breaks down, boundaries feel hard to hold, or the same patterns keep repeating despite your best intentions.
Many people learn early ways of relating that once helped them get by, but no longer support the kind of connection they want as adults. These attachment patterns can show up as difficulty trusting, overthinking interactions, avoiding conflict, or feeling unsure how to ask for what you need.
Working with attachment awareness means understanding these patterns, learning new ways to communicate, and building relationships that feel clearer, steadier, and more secure.
If you’re ready to change how you relate—to others and to yourself—I’d be glad to explore how I can support you.
Hi, I'm Erika!
If you’re tired of repeating the same relationship patterns, feeling stuck in the past, or wondering why insight alone hasn’t created the change you hoped for, you’re in the right place.
I’m an attachment-focused EMDR clinician, wife, and mom who helps adults reprocess complex trauma, heal attachment wounds, and create meaningful change in their relationships.
My goal is to work myself out of a job. I don’t want you dependent on therapy forever. I want to help you process the experiences that keep you stuck so you can move forward with greater freedom, self-trust, and connection.
Like the saying goes, give someone a fish and you feed them for a day; teach them to fish and you feed them for a lifetime. For me, that means helping you address the roots of your patterns rather than simply managing the symptoms.
I integrate EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-focused therapy, neurobiology-informed approaches, and mind-body interventions to help you work through unresolved trauma and understand how your past shapes your present.
This work is personal to me. Having worked through my own attachment wounds and complex trauma, I know that understanding why you do something doesn’t always make it stop.
I’m also the author of Making Therapy Work and the host of the Roots & Attachment Podcast, where I share accessible education about healing, attachment, and connection.
Ways to Work With Me
I offer workshops, groups, classes, and EMDR intensives designed to help you heal at the root—not just manage symptoms. My individual therapy caseload is currently full, and while I’m enjoying some time with my new baby, all groups, classes, and workshops are on pause until 2027.
In the meantime, you can keep growing at your own pace:
-
Listen to my podcast for insights on attachment, trauma, and building healthier relationships.
-
Work through my workbook for guided reflection and growth.
