Individual Counselling for Anxiety and Relationship Patterns in Squamish BC and Online
Support for anxiety, attachment patterns, and relationship challenges. Available in-person in Squamish and online across British Columbia.
When Anxiety and Relationship Patterns Feel Stuck
You might look like you have it together on the outside, but in your relationships, something keeps repeating.
You might find yourself lying awake at night wondering:
Why do I keep ending up in the same patterns?
Why do I feel anxious even when things seem okay?
Why do I pull away when I actually want to feel close?
You may notice anxiety, overthinking, pulling away, or over-giving when things start to feel close. You might long for connection but feel overwhelmed by it, or find yourself drawn into familiar patterns that leave you feeling unsettled or unsure.
Even with insight or effort, these patterns can feel hard to change.
Individual therapy offers a space to slow down, understand what is shaping these patterns, and begin shifting them. Together, we work with both your thoughts and your nervous system, where many of these responses are held.
How Individual Counselling Can Support You
In our work together, we may:
• Feel less overwhelmed by anxiety, overthinking, or emotional ups and downs so you can move through your day with more steadiness
• Understand why you keep ending up in the same relationship patterns, even when you are trying to do things differently
• Make sense of the parts of you that pull away, over-give, or shut down when things start to feel vulnerable or uncertain
• Shift patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, stuck, or unsure of yourself in relationships
• Build more secure and grounded ways of relating, so connection feels clearer, safer, and more consistent
My Somatic and Attachment-Based Approach
My approach is grounded in somatic and attachment-based therapy.
This means we are not just talking about what is happening, but also paying attention to how your nervous system responds in relationships, stress, and connection.
We slow things down, build awareness, and work at a pace that feels supportive and manageable. Over time, this allows for deeper, more lasting shifts in how you relate to yourself and others.
Sessions may include:
• Exploring attachment patterns and how they show up in your relationships
• Working with different parts of yourself, including protective and more vulnerable parts
• Bringing awareness to how anxiety and emotions are held in the body
• Using mindfulness and somatic practices to support regulation and integration
Each session is tailored to you, blending conversation with body-based work to support meaningful, lasting change.

Questions About Individual Therapy
Why do I feel anxious even when nothing is wrong?
Anxiety often isn’t just about what’s happening in the moment. It can be connected to deeper patterns in how your nervous system has learned to respond to stress, relationships, and uncertainty over time.
Why do I keep repeating the same relationship patterns?
These patterns are rarely random. They often come from earlier attachment experiences and become familiar ways of relating, even when they no longer feel helpful.
Can therapy help if I already understand my patterns?
Yes. Insight is important, but lasting change often happens when we also work with the body and nervous system, not just thoughts.
Why do I pull away or shut down when things start to feel close?
This can be a protective response. Many people develop ways of creating distance when connection feels overwhelming or uncertain.
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
If you feel stuck in anxiety, relationship patterns, or emotional overwhelm, therapy can offer a space to explore what’s going on and begin shifting it at a pace that feels manageable.
