Therapy for Relationships & Attachment in South Carolina

Relationships can feel emotionally exhausting when communication breaks down, conflict feels constant, or you find yourself carrying the weight of a relationship that no longer feels steady or secure.

You may be trying to process a difficult relationship, navigate recurring arguments, cope with emotional distance, work through trust issues, or make sense of patterns that keep showing up in your relationships. Sometimes it’s less about one specific problem and more about feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, hurt, or unsure of how to move forward.

I work with women navigating relationship stress, attachment patterns, emotional overwhelm, and interpersonal challenges who are looking for healthier ways to communicate, connect, and feel more secure in their relationships. Together, we focus on understanding the patterns underneath your reactions, improving emotional regulation and boundaries, and helping relationships feel less chaotic, confusing, or emotionally draining.

You don’t have to keep carrying it all on your own—support is here, and healthier, more grounded relationships are possible.

You’re in the right place if you are…

  • Feeling emotionally drained or overwhelmed in your relationships

  • Struggling with communication, conflict, or recurring arguments

  • Overthinking interactions or constantly questioning where you stand with someone

  • Feeling disconnected, anxious, rejected, or emotionally unsupported in relationships

  • Having difficulty setting boundaries or expressing your needs

  • Noticing unhealthy relationship patterns that keep repeating

  • Trying to process a breakup, relationship stress, or uncertainty about what to do next

  • Wanting healthier, more secure, and more balanced relationships

For many women, relationship stress affects far more than just the relationship itself.

Some days it can feel like your emotions are constantly tied to what’s happening with someone else—waiting for reassurance, overanalyzing conversations, shutting down during conflict, or feeling emotionally overwhelmed by tension, distance, or uncertainty.

Relationship struggles can leave you feeling anxious, hurt, confused, emotionally reactive, or exhausted from trying to keep everything together. Even when you understand what’s happening logically, it can still feel hard to slow down your reactions or break patterns that no longer feel healthy.

You may feel frustrated by how much your relationships affect your emotional well-being, unsure how to communicate what you need, or tired of carrying the emotional weight of it all on your own.

We’ll figure this out together—I’ve got you.

Support That Gets You

I get it. Relationship stress can feel emotionally consuming. Conflict, mixed signals, emotional distance, or constantly overthinking interactions can leave you feeling drained, anxious, and unsure of where you stand. Sometimes it feels like you’re carrying the emotional weight of the relationship on your own, trying to hold everything together while quietly feeling overwhelmed underneath it all.

Relationships can deeply affect the way you see yourself, your emotions, and your sense of stability. You’re not alone in this, and you don’t have to navigate it all by yourself. You’re in the right place.

Care here is personalized, practical, and compassionate, meeting you exactly where you are. Support blends tools, guidance, and psychoeducation to help you better understand your patterns, communicate more effectively, and feel more grounded and secure in your relationships.

Together, we will:

  • Identify unhealthy relationship or attachment patterns

  • Build communication and boundary-setting skills

  • Improve emotional regulation during conflict or stress

  • Process breakups/divorce, relationship uncertainty, or emotional hurt

  • Create healthier, more balanced, and more secure relationships
