Relationship Therapy for Adults — Healing Patterns & Building Healthier Connection
Relationships shape how we see ourselves and the world. When patterns of caretaking, resentment, or emotional disconnection repeat, it can leave you feeling unseen, depleted, or unsure of what’s “normal.”
​
I work with adults who want to understand their relationship patterns — from people-pleasing and emotional overfunctioning to difficulty trusting or setting boundaries. Whether you’re single, partnered, or in the middle of change, therapy offers a space to explore how early dynamics, attachment, and cultural expectations shape the way you connect today.
​
My approach blends insight and action. We’ll look at the underlying “why” behind your relationship habits and practice small, realistic shifts that bring more authenticity, balance, and emotional safety. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s learning how to stay connected without losing yourself.

Do These Feel Familiar?
-
You often take responsibility for others’ feelings or comfort.
-
You say “yes” when you want to say “no.”
-
You feel anxious or guilty when setting boundaries.
-
You end up with emotionally unavailable partners.
-
You minimize your own needs to keep the peace.
-
You feel like you’re “too much” or “not enough" or both.
​​
These patterns are often learned forms of care — ways we try to stay connected or safe. Therapy helps you recognize where these habits come from and how to replace them with boundaries rooted in self-respect and self-care.
Why You Keep Doing More Than Your Share
Overfunctioning — trying to fix, smooth, or manage others — is often a sign of care wrapped in anxiety. It’s common among helpers, caregivers, and high-achievers. Therapy can help you step out of the “manager” role and learn to put yourself first (or a close second) — creating space for genuine reciprocity and rest.
From Codependency to Interdependence
The term codependency can feel clinical or outdated, but the underlying issue — losing yourself in relationships — is deeply human. In therapy, we work toward interdependence: where care, trust, and autonomy can coexist.
You’ll learn:
-
How to identify emotional hooks that keep you stuck
-
What healthy dependency looks like (and why it’s not weakness)
-
Skills for honest communication and repair
-
How to hold empathy without overextending yourself
Individual Relationship Therapy
Many relationship dynamics are shaped by gendered expectations and invisible emotional labor. A feminist lens helps unpack these pressures — not to assign blame, but to restore balance. We explore how social conditioning, boundaries, and power dynamics affect your sense of worth and connection.
The goal is empowerment: feeling capable of naming your needs, expressing limits, and cultivating relationships that reflect mutual care.
Practical Change, Not Just Insight
Therapy is a space to experiment with new ways of relating — in real time. Through guided reflection, and communication practice, we translate insight into change.
Clients often say therapy helps them:
-
Feel calmer and more confident saying no
-
Stop overanalyzing every interaction
-
Feel more equal and authentic in relationships
-
Reconnect with themselves outside of roles (partner, parent, caretaker)
Begin the Work of Reconnection
You don’t have to keep repeating the same relationship cycles. Whether you’re processing a breakup, struggling in a long-term partnership, or simply trying to feel more like yourself again, this work can bring relief and clarity.
