Individual Therapy for Relationships & Connection
For Women in Bainbridge Island and across Washington State
Build the Relationships You Deserve. Starting with Yourself.
You’ve done a lot of work on yourself, yet relationships still feel harder than they should. Maybe you feel close to people but never fully seen. Maybe you carry the emotional load, smooth things over, or keep the peace until it wears you down.
Sometimes the distance is subtle. A friendship that feels one-sided, a partner who seems impossible to reach, a lingering sense that you can’t relax and just be yourself. Other times, it’s clear: painful patterns, unhealthy dynamics, or a loss of trust that leaves you questioning what’s next.
You may not know exactly why it keeps happening, only that you’re tired of it.
When old patterns keep showing up
Many of these struggles can be traced back to the ways we learned to connect early in life. If you grew up around criticism, control, neglect, or emotional immaturity, you might still carry the survival habits that once kept you safe—staying quiet, pleasing others, overexplaining, or keeping your guard up.
As an adult, those same habits can leave you feeling unseen, disconnected, or resentful. They can make closeness feel risky and independence feel safer than intimacy. Therapy helps you understand where these patterns come from and, more importantly, how to create relationships that feel calm, equal, and genuinely supportive.
What we focus on
Building emotional safety in current relationships
Identifying and changing unhealthy relational patterns
Communicating needs clearly and without guilt
Strengthening self-trust and boundaries
Healing family-of-origin wounds that affect adult relationships
Relearning what real intimacy feels like: secure, steady, and mutual
You don’t have to repeat the same story. Together, we will work toward relationships that add peace and energy to your life rather than take it away.
What begins to change
As you heal and grow, relationships start to feel less confusing and more natural. You notice red flags sooner and feel confident enough to act on them. You stop overfunctioning for others and start taking up your own space. You communicate with honesty instead of walking on eggshells.
You become the kind of person who can love deeply without losing yourself. And that changes everything.
Ready to Start?
I help women across Washington understand their patterns, strengthen their boundaries, and build relationships that reflect their values and self-respect.
Online sessions are available now for women anywhere in Washington. In-person sessions and therapy intensives on Bainbridge Island begin in early 2026.
If you’re ready to stop replaying the same painful patterns and start creating relationships that actually work, I’d love to help you begin.
