Dating, Relationships & Attachment
Relationships can bring out our deepest hopes and our tenderest fears.
They can be messy, beautiful, confusing, and everything in between. Whether you’re swiping, settling down, or somewhere in between, relationships tend to bring up… a lot. Maybe you’re constantly second-guessing yourself. Maybe you keep choosing people who can’t meet you. Or maybe closeness feels good—until it doesn’t.
Clients often wonder, “Why do I feel so anxious when I like someone?” or “I want connection, but I shut down the moment things get real.” Others feel stuck in patterns that repeat no matter how much insight they’ve gained.
Attachment patterns don’t just live in the past. They show up in the present—in your texts, your silence, your longing, your boundaries (or lack of them). In therapy, pause and notice these relational patterns, tend to your needs, and get curious about what connection means to you, not just what you’ve been taught it “should” look like.
Whether you’re navigating a new connection, deepening a long-term partnership, or exploring non-monogamy with care and intention, we’ll explore how you show up in love—with openness, compassion, and room for contradiction. Together, we’ll practice communicating your needs, setting boundaries that reflect your values, and untangling the parts of you that feel like too much or never enough.
This isn’t about becoming — or finding — the “perfect partner.” It’s about knowing yourself more fully, so you can move through relationships with greater clarity, security, and self-trust. If sometimes you feel like a walking contradiction —clingy and avoidant, independent but yearning, craving connection and scared of being known—you’re not broken. You’re just human.
Together, we can turn those patterns into insight—and into relationships that feel more secure and fulfilling.
Couples
Even strong relationships need tending.
Maybe you keep looping through the same argument, or you’ve grown distant and feel more like roommates than partners. Others aren’t in crisis at all—they simply want to reconnect, strengthen their bond, or navigate a new stage of life with more care and intention.
Love isn’t supposed to be effortless. Real relationships bring up old wounds, competing needs, and growing pains. But those challenges also hold the possibility of deeper connection and more authentic partnership.
Couples therapy offers a space to make room and process what’s happening beneath the surface—whether that’s tension, silence, or the desire to grow together.
It’s a chance to recalibrate, practice clearer communication, and deepen trust, so you have more choice in how you move forward—whatever that looks like for you.
