Therapy For Unresolved Fears of Abandonment & Rejection

Overcoming The Pain of Feeling Unwanted

I don’t think everyone grows up with a completely secure attachment. We all have experienced some sort of emotional misattunement, loss, or unmet need. In fact, it’s only part of being human. However, for some of us, these unmet emotional needs are deep, painful wounds and affect our daily lives. Perhaps it has stemmed from childhood and/or years of distressful events. Either way, when abandonment wounds go unresolved, they don’t just simply “stay in the past.” In fact, it affects our daily ability to think rationally, make decisions, conquer our fears, follow our dreams, and form healthy, secure relationships. After years and years of giving therapy, I have seen how much these unresolved wounds affect and sabotage people’s ability to let go and fully be their authentic self.

Together, I truly hope to walk side by side and provide a secure place for you to let go and free yourself from these wounds.

How Does Therapy Help Heal These Deep Rooted Wounds?

Through our work together, I hope to uncover and reveal where these wounds have stemmed from and how they have shaped your internal view of relationships. I also hope to help my clients build a stronger sense of self, internal security, and self-worth. Through a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach, we’ll gently uncover the roots of this fear and help you develop tools for stability, trust, and closeness — both with yourself and others.
