Work Isn’t Just Work—It’s Where We Repeat Relationship Patterns
Your workplace struggles aren’t just about skills, strategy, or performance—they’re deeply connected to your attachment patterns, self-worth, and emotional safety.
If you find yourself overworking, doubting your abilities, struggling with boundaries, or feeling emotionally exhausted at work, the issue isn’t just your job—it’s the patterns keeping you stuck.
The good news? You can break free from survival mode and step into secure, confident leadership in your career.
This is for you if:
You feel like you have to constantly prove yourself—even when you’ve earned your seat at the table.
You second-guess decisions and struggle to trust your own judgment.
You avoid taking up space in leadership roles, even though you’re qualified.
You downplay your achievements and fear being "exposed" as not good enough.
You struggle with workplace anxiety, imposter syndrome, and burnout.
You have a hard time setting and enforcing boundaries without guilt.
You notice that your professional relationships mirror your personal ones—whether it’s people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, or feeling emotionally unsafe at work.
These patterns didn’t start at work—they started in relationships.
Your attachment style shapes the way you show up at work—from how you handle feedback to how you navigate leadership, teamwork, and career growth.

Why This Approach Works
Most leadership coaching focuses on external confidence-building—teaching you how to communicate better, set goals, or “fake it ‘til you make it.”
But confidence isn’t just about skills or mindset. It’s about attachment—how safe you feel in yourself, your relationships, and your ability to lead.
When we heal your attachment patterns, you don’t just “act” confident—you become confident.

You might be wondering…
-
This is therapy, not coaching. While leadership coaching focuses on skills and strategy, I help you heal the attachment wounds that shape your confidence, boundaries, and decision-making.
-
No! While I work with many professionals, my focus is on anyone struggling with self-doubt, over-functioning, workplace anxiety, or imposter syndrome.
-
You’re in the right place if you:
Feel emotionally exhausted by work but can’t figure out why.Struggle to say no without guilt or fear of disappointing others.
Feel like you always have to prove yourself, even when you’re already successful.
Have a hard time trusting others to share the workload (micromanaging, over-performing).
Want to stop overthinking, second-guessing yourself, and running on empty.
-
If conflict makes you shut down, praise makes you panic, or you feel like you’re always either overworking or under-belonging, you’re likely navigating work through an old attachment lens. This work helps you map those patterns, heal them, and rewire how you show up.
-
Yes—and not by telling you to “just set better boundaries.” We explore where your need to over-function began, and why it became your emotional survival strategy. Then we build a nervous system that doesn’t default to proving your worth through burnout.
-
You don’t need to fake anything. Attachment work helps you develop earned security from the inside out. That means confidence becomes embodied—not a performance. You don’t have to psych yourself up to speak, delegate, or lead. You trust yourself enough to do it.
-
Absolutely. “Leadership” isn’t just a title—it’s how you lead your life. Whether you’re caregiving, running your own business, or trying to stop second-guessing yourself at work, this healing is for you. If you’ve ever felt unseen or overextended in your workplace relationships, we can start there.
-
Attachment-informed therapy isn’t about endlessly rehashing trauma. It’s about using real-time relational experiences (like the therapist-client bond) to rewire old patterns. You get insight, yes—but also embodied change in how you feel, connect, and lead.
You don’t have to stay in survival mode.

In one episode of her podcast, Michelle Obama described what it felt like to be the only Black woman in many of the rooms she walked into. She talked about the weight of that experience, not just the responsibility, but the loneliness.
That moment stopped me. Because it echoed what so many of my clients describe, especially those navigating high-achieving spaces while carrying complex identities: “I’m here. But am I seen?”
