What to Expect

If you’re anxious in relationships, you probably know the spiral well - overanalyzing texts, replaying conversations, trying to be "chill" while everything inside you feels anything but. Maybe you feel like you're too much, or not enough. Maybe dating feels like a rollercoaster you didn’t sign up for, or you keep finding yourself in the same relationship pattern, unsure how to break the cycle.

For couples, the pain can show up as distance, miscommunication, or a sense that you're speaking different languages. You might feel stuck between wanting connection and afraid to speak your truth at the same time.

And just because people around you think you’re “making it a big deal” or should "move on" doesn't mean your nervous system agrees.

In our work together, you don’t have to perform, minimize, or hold it all together. This is a space where you get to be messy, uncertain, grieving, raw, in-progress — and still deeply worthy of care. We’ll slow down, get curious, and begin to understand the patterns that keep you stuck — not just in your head, but in your body and relationships.

This isn’t about quick fixes or pretending you’re confident. It’s about building a steadier relationship with yourself, so that connection — to others and to your own inner world — begins to feel safer, more possible, and less like a threat.

You get to breathe here.
