Jan 31st! Group Therapy: The Mastery of Vulnerability -Limited Spots! SIGN UP NOW!! 〰️
Have you ever felt like your relationships are a constant source of pain rather than comfort?
Deep sadness and fear often linger in the background, despite your efforts and accomplishments.
Whether it’s difficulty trusting, fears of rejection, or feeling like you’re never fully understood, it can be hard to break free from these patterns.
But change is possible!
Let’s work together to uncover what’s keeping you stuck and help you create the healthy, loving connections you deserve.
Many of my clients have tried traditional talk therapy in the past but found it didn’t dive deep enough or lead to meaningful, lasting change. Want to know why…
You might not realize it, but there’s a part of you—deep beneath the surface—that’s quietly running the show.
It’s the unconscious.
This intricate web of past experiences, beliefs, and emotions works behind the scenes, shaping how you see yourself, how you connect with others, and how you respond to life’s challenges.
It’s soooooooo frustrating, isn’t it? Like no matter what you do, you can’t escape the patterns that keep pulling you back. That’s because these patterns aren’t just random—they’re rooted deep in you, and most likely formed to protect you but often ends up keeping you stuck.
But here’s the good news
Once you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, you can start to rewrite the script (actually rewiring your brain).

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist and EMDR Therapist
in Long Beach, California
“Relationships have been my focus with every person I work with; I help them improve their sense of connection and safety in relationships.”
This isn’t about quick fixes- it’s about deep lasting change.
It’s about breaking free from the patterns that make you feel stuck and stepping into relationships, choices, and a life that finally feels aligned with who you truly are.
Start feeling more confident, connected in your relationships, and having more compassion for yourself in all aspects of life!
In our work together, we’ll be curious, uncovering the patterns your unconscious has been holding onto and explore why they’re there.
