How I Approach Relationships & Attachment Therapy

Relationship patterns are deeply rooted, often shaped by our earliest experiences of love, safety, and connection. I help you understand the attachment patterns and emotional habits you bring into your relationships, and support you in building something more secure, honest, and fulfilling. You do not need a partner or family member in the room for this work to be transformative.

Frequently Asked Questions About Relationship & Attachment Therapy

Individual therapy helps you understand your own patterns, attachment style, and emotional responses in relationships, so you can show up differently, communicate more clearly, and make choices that reflect what you actually want. You do not need your partner or family member to attend for therapy to make a real difference.

Attachment style is the pattern of relating to others that you developed in early childhood based on your relationships with caregivers. Whether anxious, avoidant, disorganised, or secure, your attachment style shapes how you experience closeness, conflict, and intimacy across all your relationships. Therapy helps you understand your style and gradually shift toward more secure relating.

Yes. Family dynamics, including estrangement, conflict, difficult parents, or complicated sibling relationships, are some of the most painful and complex issues people bring to therapy. Therapy helps you understand the patterns that developed in your family of origin and how they show up in your relationships today, so you can respond more intentionally.

Yes. The end of a relationship can be one of the most painful experiences a person goes through, involving grief, loss of identity, and a deep unsettling of your sense of self. Therapy provides a supported space to process what happened, grieve what was lost, and begin rebuilding with greater clarity about what you want going forward.

Codependency is a relational pattern where one person's sense of self, worth, or stability becomes overly tied to managing or caring for another person, often at the expense of their own needs. It frequently develops in families where there was addiction, emotional instability, or trauma. Therapy helps you recognise these patterns, build a stronger sense of self, and develop more balanced ways of connecting.

Yes. I offer virtual therapy for relationship issues to anyone located in Ontario. Individual sessions focused on relationships and attachment are available online and are just as effective as in-person.

Relationship therapy (individual) focuses on your own patterns, attachment, and experiences in relationships, and is attended alone. Couples therapy involves both partners attending together to work on the relationship directly. Both are valuable and can complement each other. Many people find individual relationship therapy a helpful starting point before or alongside couples work.

The Relationship With Yourself Comes First

Understanding who you are in relationships, what you need, what you fear, and what you deserve, is the foundation of every healthy connection. I am here to help you build it.
