It’s because you were never shown how secure love actually works.
Which is why I specialize in helping people with anxious attachment when you're single, so you can stop repeating painful dating cycles and finally pick partners who are capable of SHOWING UP.
Love is not supposed to feel like anxiety, chasing, and confusion.

(00) why love feels so hard 3 shifts
like a deep exhale
You've been told you're too needy, too sensitive, or that you just need to love yourself more. So you play it cool, stay busy, or date the nice person you feel nothing for... and the anxiety moves right in with you anyway.
Here's the thing. Your nervous system learned that love is something you have to work for and watch closely. That's the real problem, and it's VERY fixable. It happens in three shifts.
anxious attachment therapy and coaching
YOU WANT LOVE THAT FEELS
You've read the books. You've done the therapy. At this point you could teach a weekend workshop on attachment styles.
And still... the moment someone takes four hours to text back, your chest tightens and you're doing a full Carrie Bradshaw, drafting a very calm, very casual reply for the NINTH time. (With the group chat consulting, *obviously*.)
01
shift your state
SECURE STARTS
WITH YOUR STATE
Logic has never once won an argument with a panicking nervous system.
When your body reads distance as danger, you go full detective. Rereading texts. Checking when they were last online. Holding your breath until the little dots appear.
So we start by establishing a secure baseline. You learn to come back to calm on your own, so love stops feeling like an EMERGENCY and you can actually think, feel and choose clearly. (Your friends will thank you. They've seen enough screenshots.)
02
shift your strategy
STOP SABOTAGING
YOUR LOVE LIFE
Meet your pitfall parts. They mean well. They're also wrecking things.
The strategies that kept you safe growing up, chasing, fixing, people pleasing, going quiet so no one leaves, are still running the show. They pick the exciting one who disappears and call it chemistry. They over-give until you're exhausted and a tiny bit resentful.
Together we catch those patterns in the act and clean the filter, so you can stop confusing chaos for chemistry and choose people who actually SHOW UP.
03

LET LOVE IN
To heal attachment, you get to receive more.
If you've been running your relationships like a full-time emotional labor position, hi, this one's for you. You're AMAZING at giving. Receiving? Weirdly uncomfortable. Someone offers help and you're already saying, oh no, I've got it.
Here we practice letting support land, asking for what you need and defining secure standards. Because you were never asking for too much. You were asking the wrong people.

WITHOUT Sefora I would have Fewer strategies and insights, more plodding
I thought both Sefora and her program were terrific!
The biggest thing I got was learning how to re-source myself and be emotionally healthy/independent; enforcing my boundaries more; listening to my intuition more; and learning about securely attached thinking patterns and behaviors."
