Therapy for individual relationship concerns in Tacoma & Washington State
When relationship patterns feel hard to shift…
You might notice recurring experiences such as:
Pulling away or clinging in relationships
Difficulty expressing needs or setting boundaries
Fear of abandonment or conflict
Feeling responsible for others’ emotions
Losing your sense of self in close relationships
These patterns often have roots in earlier relationships and attachment experiences. Therapy helps bring them into awareness so new ways of relating become possible.
Relationships can be deeply meaningful—and deeply challenging. You may find yourself stuck in familiar dynamics, struggling to communicate clearly, or feeling unseen even in close connections. Over time, these patterns can create distance, confusion, or self-doubt.
Individual relationship therapy offers space to explore these experiences with care and clarity. I provide relationship therapy in Tacoma and online throughout Washington State.
“Self-love is less about the ability to withstand loneliness or establish independence and more about awareness and acceptance of our incompleteness.”
—Esther Perel
