Relationship Therapy · Individual Sessions

The problem isn't finding
the right person. It's what
you bring to every relationship.

Most relationship issues aren't really about the other person. They're about the patterns you carry — what you learned about closeness, safety, trust, and conflict long before your current relationship existed. You can change partners and run the same patterns with someone new.

My work addresses what you bring to your relationships — not by assigning blame, but by helping you develop enough self-awareness to actually make different choices.

The Reality

Your attachment history
is in every relationship you have.

How you attach — your capacity for closeness, how you respond to conflict, what triggers withdrawal or anger, what you need but can't ask for — that was shaped before you had a say in it. Early experiences with caregivers, family dynamics, previous relationships — all of it gets brought forward.

Understanding your attachment patterns doesn't undo them immediately. But it makes the choices visible. And visible choices are changeable ones.

Individual, not couples. This is for individuals working on their patterns in relationship — not couples therapy. You come alone.

Any relationship structure. Romantic relationships, friendships, family, professional relationships — relational patterns cross all of them.

Not about fault assignment. Understanding what you bring isn't about blame. It's about agency. You can't change what you can't see.

Direct and honest. We name what we see. No endless circling around the obvious.

What Relationship Therapy Addresses

What people work on in
individual relationship therapy

These patterns show up in every relationship until they're addressed.

Attachment Patterns

Anxious, avoidant, disorganized — understanding your baseline and how it plays out with others.

Communication

What you say, what you don't say, what you say when you're dysregulated. All of it matters.

Fear of Intimacy

The pull toward closeness and the simultaneous push away from it.

Conflict Patterns

How you fight, what you fight about, what the fight is really about.

Choosing Patterns

Why you keep choosing the same type of person or situation — and what that's about.

Self-Worth in Relationships

What you believe you deserve, what you tolerate, what you're afraid to ask for.

"Your relationships will change
when you change.
That's where we start."
