Therapy for Loneliness
Finding connection, cultivating belonging, and building meaningful relationships in a world that can feel isolating.
Get in TouchUnderstanding Loneliness
Loneliness is one of the most painful human experiences, yet it remains largely unspoken. You can feel lonely even when surrounded by people—it's not about the number of connections you have, but the quality and depth of those connections.
Perhaps you feel like nobody truly understands you, or that you're somehow different from everyone else. You might have many acquaintances but no one you feel truly close to. Maybe life transitions—moving cities, ending relationships, losing loved ones—have left you feeling disconnected.
Loneliness is not a personal failing. It's a signal that something important is missing. Therapy can help you understand the barriers to connection and begin to build the meaningful relationships you deserve.
Experiences I Work With
Chronic Loneliness
A persistent sense of disconnection that has been present for a long time, often becoming a familiar but painful way of being in the world.
Social Isolation
Limited social contact due to circumstances, location, or difficulties initiating and maintaining relationships.
Emotional Loneliness
Having social contact but lacking the deep emotional intimacy and understanding that makes connections truly meaningful.
Life Transitions
Loneliness triggered by major changes—moving, divorce, retirement, bereavement—that disrupt existing support networks.
How I Work with Loneliness
The therapeutic relationship itself can be a powerful antidote to loneliness. In our sessions, you'll experience being truly seen and heard, perhaps for the first time.
We'll explore what might be getting in the way of connection—whether that's past experiences, beliefs about yourself, social anxiety, or simply not knowing how to build meaningful relationships.
Together, we'll work on developing your capacity for connection, both with yourself and with others, so you can build the relationships you long for.
