hello. i am glad you are here.

My name is Tracy. I help people reconnect—with themselves, their bodies, and with the kind of love they may have missed growing up. With a degree in psychology and over 15 years working in high-stress, conflict-navigating situations as an investigator, I learned this: we don’t heal by pushing through. We heal when we pause, learn what has shaped us, and gently start writing our own story.

I’ve been studying the science of attachment and nervous system regulation full-time since 2022—and putting it into practice. Resources I provide are:

🌿 A free, biweekly self-love and attachment healing support group

🌿 1-to-1 support sessions

🌿 Workshops

🌿 Coming soon! A workbook for healing attachment wounds and growing big love for yourself

You are not broken. You don’t have baggage. You are perfectly formed to handle the environments you’ve been living in. But if you’ve decided you want something different, there is a way. Finding peace, finding connection, chasing your dreams, and feeling happier is about returning to you. And learning to love what you find.

Understanding Your Attachment Style Series

Fearful Avoidant

Anxious

Dismissive Avoidant

How does your attachment style shape the way you see yourself, others, and relationships?
These workshops dive into the heart of each insecure attachment style—Anxious (Preoccupied), Fearful Avoidant (Disorganized), and Dismissive Avoidant—and explore how they uniquely experience the world.

Each individual workshop focuses on one attachment style and will help you:

  • Understand the specific fears, needs, and beliefs driving your style

  • Recognize how your attachment wound shapes your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors

  • Learn ways to work with, not against, your style as you move toward healing

  • Connect with others who experience relationships in a similar way

Whether you see yourself in one of these approaches to connection or are still figuring it out, these workshops offer space for reflection, insight, and self-compassion.

Attend one, two, or all three—each workshop offers a focused space to explore your style, while giving glimpses into how the others operate.
