Navigate social, romantic, family, and work relationships with greater ease and emotional clarity

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety in your relationships?

If you're finding it increasingly difficult to feel at ease in your interactions, whether it’s with a romantic partner, a date, a colleague, or a family member, you’re not alone.

Maybe you’re...

  • Constantly overthinking what you said after conversations

  • Feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood in your closest relationships

  • Struggling to set boundaries without guilt or fear of conflict

  • Overwhelmed by people-pleasing tendencies

  • Anxious before social gatherings or meetings, even with people you know well

  • Caught in repeated relationship patterns that leave you feeling frustrated or alone

  • Avoiding intimacy or vulnerability out of fear of being hurt

Social and relational anxiety can feel exhausting. It makes it harder to connect, harder to communicate, and harder to feel truly known.

You don’t have to keep navigating these dynamics by yourself.

Anxiety Therapy Can Help You Feel More Secure and Confident in Your Relationships

Imagine being able to speak up without second-guessing. Or setting boundaries without feeling selfish. Or showing up to a first date, family dinner, or work meeting without being consumed by fear or self-doubt.

Therapy can help you:

  • Understand the roots of your anxiety and how it shows up in your relationships

  • Build emotional awareness and learn how to manage overthinking and rumination

  • Heal attachment wounds and develop more secure ways of relating

  • Learn practical tools to improve communication, boundary-setting, and emotional regulation

  • Move through dating and relationship challenges with clarity and self-trust

  • Feel more grounded, confident, and connected within yourself and with others

    Through a warm, collaborative process, we’ll help you untangle anxious patterns and move toward interpersonal relationships that feel more supportive, authentic, and fulfilling.

Common Symptoms of Anxiety in Relationships

Everyone experiences anxiety differently, but some common signs include:

  • Persistent worry about what others think of you

  • Fear of abandonment or rejection

  • Feeling responsible for other people’s emotions

  • Difficulty expressing needs or asking for support

  • Emotional shutdown or overreaction in conflict

  • Replaying conversations or anticipating worst-case scenarios

  • Avoiding closeness to protect yourself from potential hurt

If you recognize yourself in any of these symptoms, anxiety therapy can help you better understand these patterns and begin shifting them.
