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!
I’m an attachment-focused clinician and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy provider offering immersive healing experiences through groups, workshops, and classes.
My work supports adults in healing relational wounds, regulating the nervous system, and shifting long-standing attachment patterns that show up in relationships, identity, and emotional life.
This work is personal to me. Like many people I serve, I did all the “right” things—insight, therapy, self-work—and still felt stuck in the same emotional loops.
Real change came when I stopped trying to think my way out and started working directly with attachment and the nervous system, where patterns actually live.
I’m also the author of Making Therapy Work and the host of the Roots & Attachment Podcast, where I share accessible education on healing and connection.

Looking for ways to work with me?
Ways to work with me include workshops, groups, classes, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy sessions. I do not offer ongoing individual therapy at this time.
