Individual Therapy for Attachment Trauma & Family Estrangement Therapy | Relationship Healing in Rockville, MD

Rebuild Trust, Heal Relationships, and Set Boundaries That Last.

Relationships are supposed to feel safe and supportive, but for many of us, they’ve been a source of pain and confusion—especially when trauma, estrangement, or insecurity gets in the way.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • You feel abandoned or rejected easily, even in healthy relationships.

  • Setting boundaries feels impossible without guilt or fear.

  • You crave closeness but feel unsafe trusting others.

  • Estranged family dynamics leave you feeling lost, hurt, or conflicted.

You’re not too much—and you’re not alone.

Healing Starts With Connection.

Decolonizing Therapy. Reclaiming Connection.

Approach to Healing Relationship Trauma

Healing relationship trauma means unlearning patterns that no longer serve you and rebuilding trust—with yourself and others. At Unbothered Psychotherapy & Wellness, I take a trauma-informed, culturally conscious, and anti-oppressive approach to help you:

  • Process past wounds with EMDR and DBT techniques.

  • Develop tools to set boundaries and improve communication.

  • Rewire attachment patterns to feel more secure and supported in relationships.

  • Heal emotional wounds caused by family estrangement, betrayal, or abandonment.

I believe healing begins when your identity and story are honored, not erased. Together, we’ll create a space where you feel safe, validated, and empowered to rewrite your narrative.
