AI Relationships & Digital Intimacy

This is new territory for most therapists. It's not new territory for me. People are forming real emotional connections with AI — and whether that feels exciting, confusing, shameful, or all three, you deserve a therapist who isn't going to judge you for it.

I'm not here to tell you your feelings aren't real. I'm here to help you understand what's happening, what it means for you, and how to navigate it with clarity and self-compassion.

You Might Be Wondering

  • Am I becoming too reliant on a chatbot?
  • Is it okay that I feel emotionally connected to an AI?
  • My partner is always talking to AI — should I be worried?
  • I use AI companionship because human relationships feel too hard right now
  • I'm grieving changes to an AI I was attached to
  • I feel ashamed about the depth of my AI relationship

My Approach

I approach AI relationships with genuine curiosity, not pathology. These connections exist on a spectrum, and they mean different things to different people. Some are supplements to a full social life. Some are substitutes during a period of isolation. Some raise important questions about attachment, intimacy, and what it means to be in relationship.

Together, we'll explore what's drawing you to AI connection, what it's providing that might be missing elsewhere, and what you want your relationship landscape — human and digital — to look like going forward.

Your feelings are real, even when the entity on the other side isn't human. That's worth exploring, not dismissing.
