Feel more secure in yourself and your relationships.
Individual therapy for women experiencing relationship anxiety, overthinking, and people-pleasing.
Attachment-focused therapy in Hermosa Beach, CA and online throughout California and Florida.
You want close, meaningful relationships, but instead you often find yourself feeling anxious, unsure, or losing yourself trying to keep the connection.
01 — Your mind never gets a break
Replaying conversations.
Overthinking texts.
Wondering if you said the wrong thing or did too much.
02 — You overextend to keep connection
Putting others first.
Struggling to speak up about what you need.
Losing yourself in relationships to avoid conflict or distance.
03 — The same patterns keep repeating
Choosing emotionally unavailable partners.
Feeling anxious or unsure in relationships.
Asking yourself, “Why does this keep happening?”
It can be exhausting.
And it does not have to stay this way.
The way you show up in relationships makes sense
These patterns did not come from nowhere. They are rooted in early experiences, attachment wounds, and the ways you learned to protect yourself and stay connected.
If you learned that love meant adapting, overgiving, or staying small, of course relationships feel anxious now.
When you feel secure in yourself, things begin to shift.
You trust your instincts. You speak more honestly.
You stop abandoning yourself to keep connection.
Relationships start to feel steady, mutual, and safe.
This is the heart of our work together.

Hi, I’m Erika.
I help women who feel stuck in anxious relationship patterns develop a deeper understanding of themselves through curiosity, insight, and compassion.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and down to earth. In our sessions, we slow things down and gently explore the emotional patterns that show up in relationships, including the reactions, fears, and protective strategies that once made sense but may no longer be serving you.
Together, we work toward building self trust, expressing needs more openly, setting boundaries that support healthy connection, and creating relationships that feel steadier, more mutual, and more secure.
