Reconnect with Yourself and Transform Your Relationships
Relationship Counseling for Individuals
- Hold back what you really think or feel, then replaying the conversation later wishing you had said more
- Prioritize your partner’s needs while your own slowly get pushed aside, until resentment builds and you're ready to leave
- Keep winding up in the same dynamic, even if the person is different
- Lose your sense of self in relationships, becoming more focused on them than on your own needs or identity
- Overanalyzing interactions, reading into texts, tone, or timing and trying to figure out where you stand
- Wanting closeness, but feeling unsure how to fully trust or rely on someone without getting hurt
At times, it can feel confusing, like part of you deeply wants connection, while another part pulls away, shuts down, or questions everything.
You're not alone and you don't have to stay stuck.
Change your relationships by understanding yourself
Relationships often reveal more than we expect. Past relationships, especially the ones that felt painful, confusing, or inconsistent, can shape how you show up now, often without you realizing it. Because your system adapts to protect you.
It might learn to hold back, overthink, avoid conflict, or stay guarded, anything to reduce the risk of getting hurt again. These patterns aren’t random. They’re mean to protect you.
Your nervous system is doing exactly what it was designed to do: keep you safe.
But the same strategies that once helped can start to keep you stuck in cycles that no longer fit, especially when you want something deeper, more secure, and more aligned.
With therapy, we can uncover the source of these patterns and help you respond in new, more secure ways.
Your patterns aren't random. They make sense.
Repeating the same frustrating patterns in conflict
Shift from...
Conflict as an opportunity to learn more about the other person
Questioning your worth or where you stand
Feeling grounded and safe in yourself, no matter what
Choosing relationships out of fear, loneliness, or pressure
Choosing them because they genuinely add to your life
Holding things in, shutting down, or escalating into conflict
Communicating clearly and directly, so your needs actually get met
Carrying resentment, frustration, or loneliness inside
Knowing your needs matter and how to express them
In relationship and dating counseling, I’ll walk alongside you in this work. And we’ll start with the most important relationship of all, the one you have with yourself.
Relationship Therapy Can Help You Find the Peace You Deserve
You might shut down during conflict now because at some point it did not feel safe to speak up. Or you may overthink in dating because your system learned to stay alert to avoid being blindsided. Sometimes the connection is clear, and others it's not.
Either way, we will explore together the wisdom of your system and what it needs to heal. We will identify your specific patterns, understand what they are trying to protect, and begin to shift them.
At the same time, we focus on real-life changes like how you communicate, set boundaries, and stay connected without losing yourself.
I work with many individuals who are thoughtful and self-aware but still feel stuck in the same relationship cycles. With the right support, those patterns can change.
How Relationship Counseling Can Support You
- Taking an intentional look into your past to uncover how past relationships have impacted the ways you communicate today
- Helping you process and heal
- Creating strategies to move forward
- Building healthy communication patterns and relational skills
- Setting boundaries in different types of relationships
- Building confidence and trust in the relationship you have with yourself
My work draws from several evidence-based approaches, most heavily EMDR Therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy.

Getting Started and Investment
Get in touch
Rates for individual relationship counseling are listed on my FAQ page so you have full transparency before reaching out.
logistics + fees
No! I work with clients on creating and maintaining healthy relationships with partners, parents, adult children, friends, work colleagues, and more. Typically, the people we are closer to are the relationships that can bring us more challenges.
Does this work only apply to romantic relationships?
Frequently Asked Questions Relationship Counseling
No. Many of my clients are dating, single, or between relationships. We focus on your patterns in connection, how you choose partners, and what happens once you start getting close to someone. This work is just as relevant before a relationship as it is inside one.
Do I need to be in a relationship to benefit from relationship counseling?
Frequently Asked Questions Relationship Counseling
We'll slow this down and look at what feels familiar, what feels activating, and what your system is drawn to. The goal is not to judge your choices, but to understand the pattern so you can make different ones moving forward.
Why do I keep choosing the wrong people?
Frequently Asked Questions Relationship Counseling
Insight alone usually is not enough. These patterns are often stored in your nervous system, not just your thoughts. That is why we focus on both understanding and real-time shifts in how you respond emotionally and relationally, so change actually sticks.
What if I understand my patterns but still can’t change them?
Frequently Asked Questions Relationship Counseling
No. This is not advice-giving or “just communicate differently” work. We explore what is happening beneath your reactions and help you build new ways of responding that feel more grounded, clear, and aligned with you.
Will you just tell me what to do in my relationships?
Frequently Asked Questions Relationship Counseling
Yes. All sessions are offered virtually for clients located in Florida and New York. This allows you to do this work from a space that feels comfortable and consistent for you.
