ONLINE THERAPY FOR RELATIONSHIPS IN CA & FL
Reconnect to others. Reconnect to yourself.
You don’t have to go it alone. You can have the deeper connections you crave.
There is nothing more painful than feeling alone in the company of others— not feeling seen, not feeling understood, and most painfully, not feeling worthy of love. I work with you to understand and unravel old patterns and stories that are getting in the way of being in more connected relationships. We work together to deconstruct the unworthiness myth so that you can stop waiting for a better time and start showing up now. This may be in friendships, with family members, or with romantic partners, or in life transitions. The ways that many of us learn to protect ourselves in childhood (for very good reasons) are often the very things that keep us from living more connected and satisfying lives.
Your relationships are worth investing in.
Whether you’re entering a new relationship, moving on from a past one, or simply wanting to feel more secure and connected to those close to you…I’m here to help.
Our brains are wired to be in connection with others. Yet, our culture often promotes a rugged individualism that can leave many people feeling that it isn’t okay to need others and that it isn’t okay to show emotions. Pair this with the many ways in which our nervous system learned to survive not getting needs met and it is easy to see how a feeling of disconnection and loneliness is so rampant even when we are in a relationship.
The good news is that we can unlearn the old adaptations and we can develop skills that bring security and connection in our relationships.
What we’ll work on:
Understanding your patterns and attachment style
Increasing intimacy through connection practices
Develop more trust for yourself and in relationships
Learn how creating boundaries will increase your connection
FAQS
What others have wondered about therapy for relationships
-
Normal is a difficult measure when it comes to the human experience. Let’s start with the idea that conflict is to be expected. Relationships move through cycles of rupture and repair. If there is too much rupture and not enough repair, it will be difficult for the relationship to sustain itself in a healthy manner.
Conflict that is filled with contempt can be incredibly damaging and is important to find new skills to address the underlying issues beneath this.

While ultimately it would be helpful to have both people attend counseling if the primary issue is regarding the relationship, I have found that relationships can still improve even if just one person attends.
Learning about your own patterns and tendencies can help shift the dance that you as a couple are in. We can also work on skills that can help you have more meaningful conversations with your partner.

No. I work with people on a variety of relationships, including friendships, family relationships, and work relationships. While there are differences in all of these types of relationships, there is often an overlap of how past history, personality, and communication skills can impact all of these.
We spend a lot more time focused on how to nurture and support our romantic relationships and many of my clients they have not been taught the skills or given the permission to prioritize their friendships in the same way, yet feel the longing for more connection in these relationships.
