Love and Relationship Addiction

Therapy for Love and Relationship Addiction
Break Free from Unhealthy Relationship Cycles and Reclaim Your Self-Worth

Do you find yourself repeatedly drawn to relationships that leave you feeling anxious, used, or emotionally drained—but you can’t seem to walk away? Maybe you feel panicked at the thought of being alone or find your self-worth wrapped up in whether someone else wants or loves you. If this sounds familiar, you might be struggling with love and relationship addiction.

Love and relationship addiction isn’t about loving too much—it’s about losing yourself in the process. It can look like:

  • Constantly needing validation from a partner

  • Feeling like you can’t be alone

  • Staying in toxic or one-sided relationships out of fear

  • Confusing intensity or drama with love

  • Repeating the same painful patterns, even when you want to stop

These patterns can feel impossible to break. Even when a relationship is hurting you, the fear of letting go or being abandoned can feel even scarier. You may know something isn’t working, but you don’t know how to change it.

I specialize in helping individuals understand and heal from relationship addiction and love dependency. Through therapy, we work on identifying the deeper roots of these patterns—often tied to early attachment wounds, trauma, or unmet emotional needs—and begin the process of building healthier, more secure connections with others…and with yourself.

As a CSAT-trained therapist, I also recognize how love and relationship addiction can sometimes overlap with other issues like sex addiction, betrayal trauma, or emotional neglect. You may be using relationships to soothe pain, regulate emotions, or escape loneliness—but that relief never lasts.

Therapy can help you:

  • Set and maintain healthy boundaries

  • Build a strong sense of identity outside of a relationship

  • Break free from codependent dynamics

  • Learn how to tolerate being alone without fear

  • Develop truly fulfilling, reciprocal connections

You are not broken. These patterns formed for a reason—but they don’t have to define you. With the right support, it’s possible to heal, grow, and experience relationships that feel safe, balanced, and deeply fulfilling.

I offer telehealth therapy across Florida, including in Pensacola, Jacksonville, and surrounding areas. If you’re ready to stop chasing love that hurts and start healing from the inside out, I’d be honored to walk with you.
