THE ATTACHMENT DOC
Healing attachment wounds, because relationships shouldn’t feel exhausting, overwhelming, or confusing.
Why We Love The Way We Do
Attachment styles are the ways we relate to others based on our subconscious core beliefs. These beliefs are formed in Childhood and guide how we show up not only in Romantic Relationships but also in our Careers, Friendships, Family Dynamics, and the way we treat ourselves. If you carry deep-rooted beliefs like “I’m not enough,” “I’ll be abandoned,” or “I have to earn love,” you may find yourself feeling stuck, anxious, disconnected, or repeating the same painful patterns—no matter how hard you try to change them.
But when you begin to rewire those beliefs and start seeing yourself as safe, worthy, and secure, everything can shift. Relationships feel healthier, confidence grows, and life starts to feel more aligned and fulfilling.
Hiiii! I’m Dr. Ibbie,
The Attachment Doc, and I’m so glad you’re here.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia and Florida, a dating and relationship coach worldwide, and a social psychologist who’s completely obsessed (in the best way) with attachment theory.
If we talk, you’ll probably hear me connect just about everything back to attachment patterns, because honestly… they explain so much.
I love helping people make sense of why they love and connect the way they do.
Our adult relationship patterns didn’t come out of nowhere. They were shaped by early experiences of how our needs were responded to, misunderstood, soothed, or missed altogether.
From those moments, we formed subconscious core beliefs about love, safety, and connection that still influence how we show up today.
And unless those beliefs are addressed and rewired, the same patterns tend to repeat. (If you’ve ever wondered why you keep finding yourself in the same situations… yep, this is usually why.)
My work is centered on helping you uncover those subconscious core wounds, understand where they came from, and gently rewire your attachment system using tools that actually work in real life.
And we practice them, because rewiring is a process, not a one-time insight.
Over the past seven years, I’ve watched clients experience meaningful breakthroughs and build healthier, safer, more secure relationship patterns.
Alongside my clinical work, I hold degrees in Health Science and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a doctorate in Social Psychology, where my research focused on how individuals with avoidant attachment patterns can genuinely move toward secure attachment.
If you’re ready, I’d love to walk alongside you on your healing journey.
Because relationships shouldn’t feel exhausting, overwhelming, or confusing.
I help people stop the cycle of overextending, pulling away, people-pleasing, overthinking, and second-guessing themselves by healing the subconscious wounds that drive these patterns, so relationships and life feel safer, calmer, and more authentic.
Who I Work With
I work with thoughtful, self-aware, and reflective individuals who are ready to move beyond insight alone and into real, embodied change. You’ve likely done a lot of self-work already. You can name patterns, understand your triggers, and see how your past shows up in the present, yet you still find yourself stuck in the same relational cycles.
Many of my clients notice a push-pull in relationships, craving closeness and connection, yet feeling easily overwhelmed by it. You may overthink, people-please, pull away, or cling, especially in dating, even when you know a situation isn’t aligned. While you’re capable and high-functioning in many areas of life, relationships can feel confusing, emotionally activating, and deeply exhausting.
If you’re open, coachable, and willing to look inward, this work may be a good fit! You’re not looking for quick fixes or surface-level advice. You’re ready to understand the deeper attachment wounds and subconscious beliefs driving your patterns and to actively work on rewiring them. Together, we’ll focus on building safety within yourself, strengthening self-trust, and creating relationships that feel secure, balanced, and aligned, starting with the one you have with you!
Looking for someone to get your audience laughing, thinking, and maybe even rewiring their attachment patterns a little? That’s me! I love speaking about connection in a way that feels fun, relatable, and actually useful.
I help audiences understand how subconscious attachment patterns influence the way we show up in:
Romantic relationships (and yes, dating can be messy!)
Friendships, family, and even work dynamics
Daily life: like why we overdo, people-please, or hide parts of ourselves
Topics I love to talk about:
Why we swing between overextending and withdrawing
How attachment patterns shape anxiety, people-pleasing, and burnout
Building self-trust and showing up authentically
Rewiring subconscious core wounds so relationships feel safer, easier, and more aligned
