The patterns you learned to survive made sense. They don’t have to define how you love now.
Many of the ways we connect with others were shaped early in life. If love felt inconsistent, conditional, or unsafe, you may have learned to cling tightly, keep people at a distance, or take care of everyone else while hiding your own needs. These strategies helped you get through childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or simply growing up without the support you needed.
In adulthood, the same patterns can show up as relationship anxiety, trust issues, or a sense that closeness is never quite safe. Therapy offers a place to understand where these patterns began and gently build new ways of relating, starting with how you relate to yourself.
You Might Be Experiencing…
Anxiety in relationships, or constant worry about where you stand
Fear of abandonment or rejection, even when things are going well
Pulling away, shutting down, or feeling smothered when someone gets close
Trouble trusting others, especially after betrayal or hurt
People-pleasing, or losing yourself to keep a relationship steady
A harsh inner critic, or a deep sense of not being enough
Repeating relationship patterns you recognize from childhood
How we’ll work together
Attachment patterns live in the body and nervous system, not only in our thoughts. My approach blends somatic therapy, parts work (IFS), Nonviolent Communication and conscious relating to help you:
Understand your attachment patterns and where they began, without blame or shame
Meet the younger parts of you that still carry old fears, and offer them safety and care
Notice the moments when anxiety or withdrawal takes over, and find your footing again
Communicate needs and boundaries in ways that invite closeness rather than conflict
Build relationships, with yourself and others, that feel secure and mutual
We’ll move at your pace. You are always the expert on your own life, and I’ll ask for your consent before trying anything new.

About me
I’m Ronni “Clara Rose,” a psychotherapist and founder of Human Together Psychotherapy. Healing my own relationship patterns has been central to my journey, and I know how vulnerable it can feel to look at the ways we love, protect ourselves, and long for connection.
In our work, I draw on Internal Family Systems, which I’ve studied through the IFS Institute and experienced in my own healing, to help you get to know the parts of you that formed early, like the inner critic, the one who clings, or the one who learned it was safer to need no one. Through Polyvagal Theory, I help clients understand why closeness can trigger anxiety or shutdown in the body, and how to build a greater sense of safety from the inside out. And my background in Nonviolent Communication and conscious relating offers practical tools for expressing your needs and staying connected, even in hard moments.
My hope is that you’ll come to experience relationships, including the one with yourself, as a place of safety rather than survival.
