You want closeness, but something keeps getting in the way. Maybe it's tension with a partner that never really gets resolved. Maybe it’s feeling shut out by your teen, or stuck in a cycle with a parent you love but can’t seem to reach. Or maybe it’s a quieter ache—one you carry even when you’re alone—because somewhere along the way, trust got complicated.
Whatever form it takes, disconnection hurts. You might feel frustrated, distant, confused, or just plain tired of trying. Therapy offers a space to slow down, get curious, and begin repairing the bonds that matter most.

You might find yourself stuck in the same arguments, avoiding emotional conversations, or feeling overly responsible for other people’s feelings. Maybe you keep people at arm’s length out of fear, or maybe you give too much because it feels safer than asking for what you need.
Our earliest experiences of love and care shape how we relate to others, and those patterns don’t disappear just because we grow up. That’s why relationship challenges are rarely just about the here and now. They're also about the emotional maps we learned early on.
When relationships feel harder than they should
Whether you're navigating conflict in a current relationship or working through past attachment wounds, therapy gives us space to understand what’s driving the disconnect and how to shift it.
I draw from attachment theory, systems thinking, and relational therapy to help you explore your emotional patterns, develop healthier ways of relating, and feel more secure, both with others and within yourself.
Sometimes the work is about improving communication and trust with your partner or family. Other times, it’s about healing the deeper patterns that show up across relationships. Either way, we move at your pace and stay grounded in what feels safe and real.
How I can help
No relationship is perfect—but you shouldn’t feel like you’re constantly bracing for impact, shrinking yourself, or carrying more than your share. Healing is possible. Connection is possible. And it starts with understanding your story, not blaming yourself for it.
