RELATIONSHIP THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS IN PASADENA & ACROSS CA
Find confidence & security in
your connections with
others… and yourself.
Specialized therapy to build deeper, more meaningful relationships
When you’re caught up in a seemingly endless cycle of pain, it can be hard to have the close connections you crave.
You might be feeling lonely, frustrated, or hurt in your relationships. At times, an inner critic may remind you of your shortcomings, making it hard to feel confident or truly seen by those who matter most. Past experiences—especially ones that left you feeling unseen or unprotected—can linger, quietly shaping how you connect with others. Trusting and opening up can feel vulnerable, and the fear of being hurt might make it difficult to build the closeness you long for. Even around people you care about, you might find yourself pulling back, wondering if you truly belong.
You know it’s time for something to change. You’re ready to find a new way to connect and heal.
Maybe you’re here because you’re…
Feeling alone
Wanting to find and cultivate a fulfilling relationship
Struggling to maintain connection with family and friends
Worried about how your past is affecting you and your loved ones
Noticing a disconnection between you and your partner
Feeling overly sensitive
Nervous to be around others and not feeling confident in yourself
You are enough. I want to help you see and believe that.
HOW THERAPY FOR RELATIONSHIP WORKS
Relationships can be incredibly rewarding and full of joy—but they can also bring pain, especially when you feel disconnected from someone you care about. It can be even harder when that disconnection extends inward, leaving you uncertain about who you are at your core. Whether you're navigating conflict with a partner, feeling distant in close relationships, or stuck in patterns that seem hard to change, I offer a supportive space where you can safely explore what’s happening beneath the surface.
I approach relationship concerns through an attachment-based lens, recognizing that early experiences—especially with caregivers—profoundly shape how we connect with ourselves and others. When those foundational bonds are strained or inconsistent, they can leave lasting imprints on how we trust, communicate, and build intimacy. In our work together, we’ll explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, gently creating healthier, more secure ways of relating.
Therapy isn’t just about understanding what’s gone wrong—it’s also about building something new. We’ll focus on helping you reconnect with your inner voice, express your needs with confidence, and cultivate relationships where you feel respected, valued, and truly seen. Along the way, you’ll strengthen not only your connections with others but also your relationship with yourself.
Healing in relationships takes courage, but it’s also a deeply meaningful and transformative process. I would be honored to support you through this journey, helping you move toward a life and relationships that feel more grounded, authentic, and aligned with who you truly are.You don’t have to face this all alone anymore.
Leave disconnection behind and feel closer than ever.
