Therapy Specializing in Relationships, Breakups, & Trauma
Attachment-Based EMDR Therapy
in Long Beach, CA and Online in California
Welcome! I'm Nicole
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.
The conflict in your relationships seems only to go away when you avoid relationships altogether, avoid dating, or avoid bringing up how you truly feel.
Whether it’s difficulty trusting, fears of rejection, or feeling like you’re never fully understood and can’t be yourself.
But change is possible!
If you’re tired of the pain that comes with your relationships, let’s discover what’s keeping you stuck and help you create the healthy, loving & peaceful connections you deserve.
Many of my clients have tried traditional talk therapy in the past but found it didn’t 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 always making an appearance.
It’s the part of you that has been hurt in the past.
These past experiences, beliefs, and emotions are always there, shaping how you see yourself, how you connect with others, and how you respond to life’s challenges.
But here’s the good news
Once you begin to understand them compassionately-these parts of you that hold the hurt, you can start to heal and feel
safe
loved
empowered
connected
& understood
Just how you want to feel too!
