Build Healthier, More Connected Relationships Through Therapy

Do you find yourself struggling to communicate clearly, set boundaries, or feel truly seen in your relationships?

Whether it’s with a spouse, partner, friend, family member, or colleague relationships are at the heart of our well-being. But when communication breaks down, boundaries blur, or emotions feel too overwhelming to express, connection becomes difficult and conflict feels constant.

I work with both individuals and couples to strengthen communication, build emotional closeness, and create healthy, fulfilling relationships. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck, misunderstood, or unsure how to navigate relationship challenges and you’re not alone if you’re feeling the same.

Common ways anxiety, stress, and self-doubt show up in relationships:

• Difficulty expressing thoughts and emotions

• Constant misunderstandings or conflict with a partner

• Trouble setting boundaries in romantic, family, or work relationships

• Fear of rejection, abandonment, or disappointing others

• Struggling with emotional closeness or vulnerability

• Repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns

• Coping with relationship changes, transitions, or loss

Let’s talk about communication—because it’s everything.

Most individuals and couples I see say the same thing: ‘We just can’t communicate without it turning into stress, anxiety, or conflict.’ And that’s where we start.

I believe relationships should feel like a safe home base, not a constant source of stress. In therapy, we’ll do more than just talk — we’ll practice real-life strategies you can use right away to feel closer, calmer, and more understood.

I’ll help you develop practical tools to:

• Express yourself clearly and confidently

• Listen without defensiveness

• Navigate disagreements without spiraling into conflict

• Set boundaries that honor both your needs
and your relationships

• Communicate with more empathy, presence, and authenticity

Couples Relationship Therapy

Anxiety and self-doubt don’t just affect you — they show up in your relationships too, making communication harder and connection feel out of reach. In couples therapy, I provide a supportive space for you and your partner to slow down, understand what’s getting in the way, and reconnect emotionally. Together, we’ll work on building healthier patterns of communication, strengthening trust, and creating a relationship that feels safe, balanced, and connected.

Individual Relationship Therapy

Not all relationship healing happens in couples therapy. Many of my clients come to individual therapy to explore how anxiety and self-doubt impact their connections, whether that’s overthinking, people-pleasing, or struggling to feel secure in love and family dynamics. In individual therapy, we’ll uncover patterns that keep you stuck, calm the anxiety that fuels overthinking, and build your confidence in relationships. Together, we’ll focus on self-trust, clear communication, and creating connections that feel safe, authentic, and fulfilling.

Some relationship challenges begin early—and that’s why I offer a specialized intensive program for caregivers and children.

The intensive program focuses on:

• Strengthening emotional attachment between parent and child
