Relationship Issues &
Family Estrangement Therapy
Individual online therapy for relationship stress, communication struggles, and emotional disconnection in Massachusetts.
Find calm in your communication, express your needs without guilt, and build relationships where you feel understood and respected.
You’re tired of feeling like your emotions are ‘too much’ or not enough.
You care deeply, but communication feels like walking on eggshells—or like you're always the one trying to hold things together.
Whether it's your partner, family, friends, or even your relationship with yourself, it can feel painful when you’re not being seen, heard, or understood. You might find yourself overexplaining, people-pleasing, shutting down, or second-guessing every interaction—just to avoid conflict, rejection, or disappointment.
Therapy can offer a space to explore these patterns with compassion, reconnect to your needs and voice, and build more authentic, balanced relationships.
Sound like you?
You feel emotionally drained or misunderstood in your close relationships
You want to communicate more clearly—but often feel shut down, dismissed, or reactive
You struggle to express your needs without guilt, fear, or self-doubt
Family dynamics feel painful, distant, or unresolved
You want deeper connections without losing yourself in the process
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy gives you space to explore your relationships and show up as you.
Together, we’ll look at the patterns showing up in your relationships—whether they’re shaped by past experiences, family dynamics, or current stress. We’ll start to untangle what’s no longer serving you and build new ways of relating that feel healthier and more true to who you are.
We’ll focus on helping you:
Set healthy boundaries without guilt
Identify and express your emotions and needs with more confidence
Reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation during conflict
Heal relational wounds and rebuild trust in yourself
Stay connected to who you are — even when relationships feel challenging
The goal isn’t to communicate perfectly or fix every relationship- it’s to feel more grounded, clear, and secure in how you show up.
Ready to strengthen your relationships?
At the end of the day, I want you to know:
You don’t have to hold your tongue, over-function, or keep the peace.
You can show up fully and be valued for who you are.

No. I work exclusively with individuals. Individual therapy can help you better understand your patterns, clarify your needs, and practice showing up in relationships in ways that feel authentic and sustainable for you. As you change how you relate to yourself, many clients find their relationships naturally shift toward being healthier and more fulfilling—even without others attending therapy or being a part of the process.
