Anxiety, Relationship Issues, and Couples Therapy for Teens and Adults

If you’re searching for therapy in Los Angeles, you may be feeling stuck in patterns that look like overthinking, anxiety, perfectionism, or relationship distress that keeps repeating no matter how much insight you have.

Many of the clients I work with in Los Angeles feel emotionally exhausted from trying to “get it right” in relationships, at work, or within themselves, while still feeling disconnected, anxious, or unsure how to change things at a deeper level.

I provide virtual therapy for clients across Los Angeles and California, specializing in teens, young adults, adults, and couples who want to understand their emotional patterns more deeply and create lasting change.

Areas of Focus in Therapy

Anxiety, Overthinking, and Emotional Overload

Anxiety often shows up as constant mental scanning, rumination, or difficulty relaxing even when things are “fine.” Together, we work to understand what your anxiety is protecting you from and how it developed relationally over time.

Perfectionism and People-Pleasing

Many clients I see in Los Angeles struggle with high achievement, perfectionism, and difficulty saying no. These patterns often come from early relational dynamics where approval or safety felt conditional.

Therapy helps you begin to separate your self-worth from performance and external validation.

Relationship Issues and Attachment Patterns

Whether you are dating, partnered, or navigating family dynamics, relationship distress often reflects deeper attachment patterns and how you learned to connect, protect yourself, and respond to emotional closeness.

We explore these patterns so you can build relationships that feel more secure and mutual.

My Therapeutic Approach

My work is grounded in a psychodynamic and attachment-focused lens, meaning we look at how your past relationships and early experiences shape your current emotional world and relational patterns.

I also integrate:

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS helps us understand the different “parts” of you, such as the anxious part, the critical part, or the part that people-pleases, and how they developed to protect you.

Attachment-Based Therapy

We explore how your attachment system impacts how you show up in closeness, conflict, and emotional safety in relationships.

Gottman Method (for Couples)

For couples, I use evidence-based Gottman principles to support communication, repair, and long-term relational stability.

Who I Work With in Los Angeles

I specialize in working with:

  • Teens (15+) navigating anxiety, identity, and pressure

  • College students and young adults

  • Adults experiencing anxiety, perfectionism, or burnout

  • Couples experiencing conflict, disconnection, or trust issues

Many of my clients are high-achieving, insightful, and self-aware, but still feel emotionally stuck in the same patterns.

Therapy in Los Angeles (Virtual Across California)

Although I am based in Los Angeles, I provide virtual therapy to clients throughout California, including LA, Santa Monica, West LA, Beverly Hills, and surrounding areas.

Virtual therapy allows for consistency, flexibility, and access to support without commuting or geographic barriers.

What Therapy with Me Looks Like

Therapy is not about fixing you. It’s about understanding what your emotional system learned to do in order to protect you, and then gently creating new options for how you relate to yourself and others.

Sessions are collaborative, reflective, and depth-oriented. We move at a pace that respects your nervous system while also supporting meaningful change.
