Anxiety, Relationship Issues, Trauma Counseling for Couples, Teens and Adults
If you’re searching for telehealth therapy in Sawtelle, Los Angeles, or across the state of California, you may be feeling stuck in patterns that look like overthinking, anxiety, perfectionism, or relationship distress that keeps repeating no matter what you try and you’re not sure why.
Many of the clients I work with 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 telehealth therapy for clients in Sawtelle, Los Angeles and across California. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, and couples who want to understand their emotional patterns more deeply and create lasting changes in their life, not just during crisis moments.
Areas of Focus in Telehealth 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 difficult 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:
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.
We explore how your attachment system impacts how you show up in closeness, conflict, and emotional safety in relationships.
For couples, I use evidence-based Gottman principles to support communication, repair, and long-term relational stability.
Who I Work With in Sawtelle, Los Angeles & Across California
I specialize in working with:
Older teens (14+) navigating anxiety, identity development, academic and social pressure, perfectionism, self-esteem struggles, family conflict, friendship or dating issues, and the overwhelm that can come from constantly feeling like they have to succeed, fit in, or have everything figured out.
Adults struggling with high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, chronic self-pressure, people-pleasing, overthinking, imposter syndrome, and work or academic burnout that often shows up as difficulty slowing down, constant self-criticism, emotional exhaustion, trouble setting boundaries, and feeling like their worth is tied to achievement or productivity.
Couples caught in recurring conflict, emotional distance, communication breakdowns, attachment wounds, infidelity recovery, or ongoing trust ruptures that leave one or both partners feeling misunderstood, rejected, resentful, or emotionally unsafe.
Many of my clients appear successful and “have it together” on the surface. They are thriving professionally, academically, or in other areas of life, yet privately struggle with anxiety, self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, and recurring relationship patterns that leave them feeling disconnected, insecure, or unfulfilled.

Frequently Asked Questions About Telehealth Therapy
-
Online counseling and online therapy are often used interchangeably, and both allow you to meet with a licensed therapist through secure video sessions. While counseling may focus on a specific concern or life transition, therapy often explores deeper emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, and the root causes of ongoing challenges. At Connected Therapy of California, our online counseling services support both immediate concerns and long-term healing for adults and couples throughout California.
-
Telehealth therapy may not be the best fit if you're experiencing a mental health crisis, require a higher level of care, or don't have access to a private, confidential space for sessions. During your consultation, we'll discuss whether virtual therapy is the right fit for your needs and, if not, explore appropriate alternatives.
-
No. Telehealth therapy sessions are not recorded, and your privacy and confidentiality are protected using a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. If recording were ever considered for a specific reason, it would only occur with your explicit written consent.
-
Virtual therapy makes it easier to access care by eliminating commute time, offering greater scheduling flexibility, and allowing you to attend sessions from the comfort of your own home. For many adults and couples, online therapy also supports greater consistency, making it easier to prioritize mental health and relationship growth.
-
For many people, yes. Research has shown that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges, while offering the added convenience and flexibility of receiving care from home.

I offer 60 minute sessions for individuals and 75 min therapy sessions for couples.
