Even if you seem to have it all together, relationships can feel heavy and confusing at times. Maybe you stay quiet to avoid conflict, replay conversations in your head, or worry you’re too much. Or maybe you find yourself becoming tearful and frustrated when you try to talk about how you feel. You might analyze all the little things your partner says and does because you need to make sure things are okay between you. You want closeness, but you also feel uneasy. Therapy can help you sort through these patterns so you can start feeling more grounded and show up more authentically in your relationship. I work with adults who struggle with people-pleasing, fear of abandonment, and relationship wounds. Many of you grew up feeling unseen or having to adapt to keep the peace. You might have had at least one parent who was anxious or controlling. The effects of these patterns on you often show up later as insecurity and anxiety in your adult relationships. I help clients, either individually or with their partner, understand these patterns and learn to show up differently so they can get what they really want out of relationships without these problems getting in the way.
