Relationship anxiety therapy for adults in California

What this may look like

• Overthinking a message, a silence, or whether the relationship is right
• Fear of abandonment when someone needs space or plans change
• Difficulty tolerating uncertainty, even after checking or getting reassurance
• Pulling away when closeness starts to feel vulnerable
• Boundaries that slide into guilt, or into resentment
• Conflict you avoid until it stacks, or that moves faster than you can track
• Trust after hurt, including doubt in your own judgment
• Repeating relationship patterns you can already describe

Who this is for

You might be dating, partnered, recently out of a relationship, or not seeing anyone. You don't need a clinical label or an attachment style to start.

It may fit if the worry is costing you sleep, focus, or trust in your own judgment.

How therapy may help

We look at what happens between the first surge of anxiety and what you do next. That can help you pause, name what you need, or step back when a relationship isn't mutual.

Therapy won't decide whether you should stay or leave. We'll consider the relationship itself as well as your reactions, and separate what you know from what you fear.

What sessions may include

You don't need a clear explanation of what happened or why it affected you so strongly. For pacing and session style, see how I work.

• A recent text, silence, or argument, enough to see the sequence
• What you needed in the moment versus what you actually did
• Language for a boundary, a repair, or a clearer ask
• How your body responds when closeness increases or drops
• What is yours to carry, and what belongs to the other person

Scope of this work

Online sessions require you to be in California. This outpatient telehealth practice does not provide couples therapy, crisis or emergency care, medication management, court-ordered evaluations, intensive outpatient treatment, or therapy for young children.
