Relationships & Attachments

Though I don’t do couples therapy, many people I see for individual therapy are in relationships or hope to be, and they worry that the ways they relate may unintentionally create distance or tension. You might notice that you don’t always act in line with what you truly want in relationships—perhaps out of fear that others will leave, concern about being hurt, or uncertainty about the security of the relationship. Sometimes closeness can feel overwhelming, or you may find yourself pushing others away while trying to connect. These patterns can leave people feeling embarrassed, shameful, or critical of themselves.

How Therapy Can Help:

Therapy provides a space to explore these patterns with curiosity and attention. Often, these ways of relating have roots in early relationships and can repeat throughout life. Together, we can notice the underlying feelings that come up in your relationships, such as fear, vulnerability, or longing, and begin to understand how they influence your thoughts and behaviors. With this awareness, shifts in thinking and action become more possible.

I have specialized training in attachment and relational dynamics. I take the time to understand your experience and create a space where you can feel safe discussing these feelings. I pay attention to patterns that emerge between sessions and help you make sense of them over time, supporting you in understanding yourself and your relationships more clearly.
