Attachment and Trauma Therapy in Charlotte, NC and Online Across North Carolina and South Carolina
Therapy for Overthinking, Relationship Anxiety, and Processing Trauma to Build More Secure, Connected Relationships
Relationships. Patterns. Trauma.
Where insight meets real change.
You’re tired of carrying it all.
Your emotions.
Your relationships.
The constant mental back-and-forth that doesn’t seem to quiet down.
You want deeper connection, but something keeps getting disrupted.
Trust feels complicated.
Closeness can feel uncertain.
At times, it feels like you’re putting in more than you’re receiving.
You might notice yourself overthinking small shifts, pulling back when things feel too close, or needing reassurance just to feel steady.
Even when you try to approach things differently, you find yourself back in something that feels familiar.
Your past doesn’t just stay in the past.
It shows up in how you think, how you respond, and how safe connection feels in the moment.
There’s usually more underneath all of this.
Therapy becomes a space to slow things down and begin making sense of what’s actually happening.
You might find yourself:
• replaying conversations or interactions long after they’ve ended
• feeling unsure in connection, even when things seem “fine” on the surface
• needing reassurance to feel grounded, or questioning where you stand
• creating distance when closeness starts to feel overwhelming
• feeling emotionally disconnected, shut down, or on edge in relationships
• noticing yourself moving between wanting closeness and needing space
• carrying experiences from the past that still shape how safe connection feels
For some, these experiences are connected to attachment, how closeness, trust, and emotional safety were learned in earlier relationships.
For others, they are shaped by trauma, identity, or environments where parts of you may not have felt fully seen, supported, or safe.
If This Feels Familiar
What Begins to Shift in Therapy
More Awareness in the Moment
You begin to notice your thoughts, emotions, and reactions as they’re happening, creating space to respond with intention instead of reacting automatically.
Nervous System Regulation
You learn how to recognize and move through activation, allowing your body to feel more settled, present, and steady in moments that used to feel triggering.
Connection Feels More Steady
Relationships begin to feel more balanced and less confusing, with a greater sense of consistency, trust, and emotional presence.
Less Emotional Overwhelm
Experiences that once felt intense or consuming start to feel more manageable, without shutting down or getting pulled into overthinking.
Integration of Past and Present
You begin to understand how past experiences shape your current responses, so your present feels less controlled by what you’ve been through.
Tools You Can Actually Use
I incorporate reading material, workbooks, and psychoeducational tools to help you understand what’s happening and apply it in your day-to-day life.

Hi, I’m Mina.
Finding yourself on a page like this usually means something has been feeling off, in your relationships, in your thoughts, or in how you’ve been carrying things on your own.

I approach this work through an inclusive, anti-oppressive lens and offer a space where your identity and lived experience are respected and valued.
