Individual Therapy

It’s not uncommon to feel like something’s off in your relationship—but sometimes it’s hard to tell whether the work needs to happen between you and your partner, or within yourself.

If anxiety is showing up in your relationship—like overthinking, people-pleasing, shutdowns, or fear of conflict—it might be your nervous system trying to protect you in ways that no longer serve you. That doesn’t mean you’re the problem; it means something deeper is asking to be understood.

Individual therapy can be a space to untangle your internal experience, slow down the stories and reactions, and better understand what’s yours and what’s relational. With the right support, you can learn to listen to your body, honor your needs, and show up with more clarity and choice—in your relationship and in yourself.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Common Signs of Anxiety

• Your mind won’t stop spinning—worrying, overthinking, replaying things

• It’s hard to relax, like you’re always bracing for something bad

• You feel tired all the time, even when you’re getting enough sleep

• Your body holds the stress: tight shoulders, upset stomach, random aches

• Breathing feels shallow, your chest gets tight, your heart races

• Sleep is a struggle—falling asleep, staying asleep, waking up tired

• It’s hard to focus, like your brain’s in a fog

• You put things off even when they matter (and feel worse for it)

• You snap more easily or feel on edge a lot

• Panic shows up suddenly, and it’s overwhelming

• Being around people feels hard, even if you want connection

• There's this low-level hum of dread that never quite goes away

Individual therapy for relationships is a space to explore your part in the patterns that play out with others—without blame or shame. It’s not about “fixing yourself” to keep a relationship going; it’s about getting curious about your reactions, needs, boundaries, and beliefs, so you can relate with more choice, honesty, and care.

In our work together, we’ll slow things down so you can notice what’s happening in your body and thoughts when conflict, disconnection, or anxiety arises. You’ll learn how to name your feelings, sit with discomfort without getting swept away, and practice new ways of showing up that align with your values—whether you’re working through a breakup, stuck in a communication loop, or wanting to grow in intimacy.

It’s grounded, warm, and collaborative—rooted in mindful awareness, self-compassion, and a deep respect for the complexity of being human in relationship.

Progress in therapy doesn’t usually show up as a big, flashy moment. It’s more like a quiet “ohhh…” that sneaks up on you. You might notice that something that used to spiral you out now feels like a wave you can ride. Or that you’re setting a boundary without rehearsing it ten times first. Or that you feel more you in situations that used to twist you in knots.

It might look like:
– Being able to pause and respond instead of react
– Choosing what matters to you, even when it’s uncomfortable
– Feeling more grounded in your body and less trapped in your head
– Noticing patterns sooner—and not beating yourself up about them
– Feeling more like a participant in your relationships, not just a peacekeeper
– Letting joy in without waiting for the other shoe to drop

It’s not a straight line. Sometimes it’s more like a spiral—you’ll revisit old stuff, but each time you do, you’re bringing more insight, more choice, and more compassion with you. That’s the work. And little by little, it adds up.
