Renee’s Approach
Love addiction therapy focuses on helping individuals who exhibit compulsive, obsessive, or dependent behaviors in romantic relationships. People with love addiction may constantly seek out romantic partners, become excessively dependent on their partners for validation and self-worth, and experience intense fear of abandonment or rejection. Love avoidance therapy focuses on helping individuals who exhibit avoidant behaviors in romantic relationships. People with love avoidance may fear intimacy, closeness, and vulnerability in relationships, leading them to withdraw emotionally, avoid commitment, or sabotage relationships to maintain emotional distance. Renee provides support, guidance, and therapeutic interventions aimed at addressing underlying issues, changing unhealthy patterns of behavior, and promoting healthier relationship dynamics.
