Relationship Anxiety Therapy
For Individuals
Are you feeling overwhelmed by relationship anxiety?
Perhaps you're stuck in a recurring argument loop or struggling to navigate significant life changes together. Maybe even the smallest decisions lead to arguments, leaving you questioning the future of your relationship or doubting your ability to find security in relationships. Communication might feel like an uphill battle, leaving you feeling unheard despite your efforts to connect. You may put yourself out there over and over and still feel like you just can’t find the connections you crave for yourself.
From fairy tales to Disney movies to Hollywood, we have been fed a consistent (hetero-normative) narrative about the way relationships are “supposed” to go. But what if your reality doesn't match up?
The truth is, you’re not broken or alone for feeling this way. And…
Relationship anxiety therapy offers relief and support.
Many of us have never taken the time to consider what we want our relationships to look like and find ourselves staying in relationships that don’t nourish us. It may seem daunting now, but there's a path to a better place. Through counseling, you can uncover what you need to feel secure, learn effective communication strategies, and break free from patterns that leave you feeling unfulfilled. It's possible to cultivate deep connections with those who matter most to you.

I use a variety of evidence-based approaches to help your relationships thrive
-
EFT for couples is the gold standard for empirically validated intervention in relationship counseling. EFT is built around the belief that understanding, regulating, and communicating our emotions effectively is the key to successful relationships.
-
Humans are hard-wired for connection and the experiences we have with relationships in our early life shape they way we experience and participate in all relationships going forward.
-
Brainspotting is a form of therapy that is used in treating symptoms of trauma. Brainspotting helps you to process and heal from trauma by reducing or relieving the symptoms of emotional distress that often emerge after traumatic experiences. Brainspotting uses bilateral stimulation (engaging both sides of the brain) to allow you to process the memory where it is stored in your brain in a manner that is not debilitating.
-
CBT helps you consider the ways your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact with each other. Using CBT, we can identify some of the thoughts and beliefs you have that are affecting your relationships and holding you back from the life you want.
-
Learning mindfulness can help all of us to become more aware of and able to manage our feelings. Mindfulness can help us better identify the thoughts we have about ourselves, relationships, and the world and make changes to the limiting beliefs that are holding us back.

What you need to know about relationship anxiety therapy

Well, that’s mostly up to you to be honest. I believe that you know what’s best for you and I’m here to support you in finding it. Everyone is different and their time in therapy can differ for a variety of reasons. Most clients work with me for 12 months or longer.
-
Definitely not! I believe that any relationship that is important to you deserves care and attention. And the same problems often show up for us across all types of relationships. Relationship counseling will help you change your relational patterns that are getting in the way of meaningful connections.
