If dating keeps hurting—even when you’re doing ‘the work’—it’s not because you’re choosing wrong. It’s because your nervous system learned love through pain. The Joy Therapist is not for people who want connection tips. She’s for people who are done pathologizing themselves for attachment pain.
You will stop experiencing closeness as something that costs you yourself. Together, we’ll rewrite your heartbreak and loneliness into emotional safety. You will feel joy again—both in life and your relationship. Virtual sessions available in NC, VA, and OK. Schedule your first appointment today.
Your attachment strategy is doing exactly what it was designed to do-protect you. If you’re craving relief, clarity, and the kind of connection that changes everything, this is your next step. Your relationship deserves it.
