RELATIONSHIP THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS
IN SAN DIEGO & ACROSS CALIFORNIA

Embrace self-discovery & watch your relationships transform.

Relationships are beautiful—but they’re also really hard.

The pain of a breakup, the sting of a friendship fading, or the strain between you and your family can leave you feeling insecure, misunderstood, and lost. Lately, you’ve been feeling the weight of loneliness more intensely, wondering why it's so hard for you to have real, long-lasting connections with others. 

And when relationships end—whether in silence or with hurtful words—it can often feel like an open wound, especially when you don’t get the closure you’d hoped.

Maybe you’ve been…

  • Feeling disconnected from others, even when you're not technically alone

  • Dealing with the aftermath of betrayal or infidelity

  • Finding it difficult to make or keep real friendships

  • Carrying the weight of unsaid things after a breakup or the end of a relationship

  • Struggling to bridge the gap with family, feeling like no matter what you say, you're not truly heard

  • Grappling with the grief of losing someone, unsure how to navigate life without them

Therapy gives you the opportunity to process what’s happened in your relationships and become more intentional about how you approach them in the future.

OUR APPROACH

When you work with us, we’ll start by getting curious together and digging into what’s really going on beneath the surface of your emotions. We know relationships, no matter what kind, can bring up all sorts of feelings—that’s completely normal.

We create a space where you can explore those emotions without judgment and understand yourself and your relationships in a deeper, more meaningful way.

Sometimes, certain thoughts or feelings are difficult to face, and you might find yourself avoiding them or brushing them aside. In therapy, we gently bring those hidden parts to light, so you can see the full picture of how these things affect your life and relationships. We also look for patterns—ways you might keep getting stuck in the same places emotionally or in your interactions with others—so you can begin to shift them, respond differently, and feel more free.

We also take time to reflect on how your past experiences, especially from your early life, might still be shaping how you connect with others today. As we work together, the relationship you build with your therapist becomes a space to explore those themes in real-time, helping you break through barriers and make lasting changes in how you relate to others and yourself.

  • Relationship issues often come from a mix of personal histories, communication styles, and unmet needs. Life experiences, like past relationships or family dynamics, shape how we connect with others, sometimes leading to misunderstandings or emotional triggers.

Understanding these roots, as we work to do in therapy, can help you navigate the complexities of your relationships with more compassion and insight.
