Psychotherapy Services in-person in Los Angeles

Virtual therapy available for California residents

You're feeling insecure, unappreciated, and honestly, just over it.

Do you feel like you’re stuck in a never-ending loop of panic and disappointment in your relationships? Where a little space feels like rejection, and you feel guilty (or needy) for wanting closeness?

Maybe you put everyone else’s needs before your own—obsessing over what they want, even at the cost of your own peace.

And even when things are "fine," there’s this nagging feeling in the background, like distrust and fear are constantly lurking.

You’re a smart, logical person—and yet, this relationship is driving you wild. You know your attachment style, maybe even your triggers, but you can’t just think your way out of this cycle. It keeps coming back, no matter how hard you try.

Sound familiar? It’s time for support that actually gets you.

You may have had thoughts like...

  • They’re going to leave me like everyone else.

  • I get so enraptured with new relationships that I disappear from my own life. I lose myself.

  • Whenever they don’t text me back, I feel like I’m gasping for air and obsessing about them non-stop.

  • I’m unlovable. No one ever chooses me. I’m just never enough.

  • Am I too much?

If this is you, We see you. You make sense.

It’s unsurprising that we focus so much energy on our relationships - we are mammals, wired for bonding.

That anxiety you feel when you’re waiting for the text back, the deep pain of rejection, the sleeplessness night after an argument, the fear of intimacy when things are getting too serious…  are all such human experiences.

You deserve a healthy, loving relationship And it starts with YOU.

Your whole life can change in a year and with the right support, you can heal and begin the journey of healing old wounds. Healing your relationship with others starts with your own inner work.

Relationships are deeply confronting and can bring up a lot.

The relationship we have with ourselves influences the way that we show up in every single relationship we have (yes, even with our coworkers and friends).

The patterns we may have learned to get love, connection, approval and belonging as children, may not be as effective now that we are adults.

Some of us may have even picked up beliefs like “I am unlovable”, “I am defective”, “I am unworthy of love” from our childhoods and may unconsciously confirm those beliefs in our adult relationships.

This in turn affects the way we attract partners and people into our lives, leading to a vicious cycle of pain.

Let’s navigate this together.

Attachment-based therapy is a trauma-informed approach that helps us get to the root cause of your relationship patterns.

We identify unmet needs, and draw on inner and outer resources to meet these needs now.

By working to heal the inner wounds, we’re able to create a new secure identity that can naturally set boundaries and attract the right kinds of people.

The deepest emotional healing when it comes to relationships, is done within relationships.

Imagine the ease of emotional safety in your relationship.

  • The freedom to be your authentic self without fear of rejection or judgment.

  • Where you feel seen, heard, and understood.

  • Where you feel safe, free, and connected all at the same time.

We are here to hold the highest vision of relationship for you as you explore the barriers that get in the way.

Testimonials

  • “I’ve been working with Sara for two years. When I met her, I was struggling in my marriage - feeling depressed, dry, and anxious to the point where I struggled going to work. I was faced with a few big decisions in my new marriage and I was struggling to hear my voice and know who and where I was. Going to therapy was the best part of my week, where I could go and meet myself for the first time. I learned about myself as Sara gently challenged me to look at the parts of myself that I couldn’t see. Therapy with Sara gave me a safe place to be able to explore why I do what I do and have compassion for myself in the same way I have compassion for others. Through our work, I was able to leave a job, ask for what I needed in my marriage, and not just manage my anxiety, but figure out the root of why I was anxious in the first place.”

  • “Sara has always been my go-to for relationship advice and perspective. Sara's compassionate energy and understanding of the human psyche and spirit make her an amazing therapist! Sara's ability to conceptualize the experience of love and love relationships pulls from a deep well of experience, intuition, and education in the field. Expect to see results and feel more empowered as a couple and as individuals after seeking her assistance! I recently had a relationship conflict that had me stuck and after a 30-minute session, I was able to get unstuck and move closer to my boyfriend and experience deeper love and vulnerability.”

  • “Sara has an amazingly creative and expressive approach to working with clients, and she is undaunted by the complex issues that clients may present. She has an almost mischievous playfulness that is completely refreshing to put her clients at ease and makes her very fun to work with. She will be a compassionate and caring partner for any client that she works with, and I highly recommend her as a choice for you to partner with.”

  • “I joined Sober-Curious because I am a grey-area drinker, have never identified with the label “alcoholic” and didn’t see myself in AA. After too many drunken arguments with my husband and feeling so tired of being hungover every weekend, I decided that I wanted to do some work around my drinking. Sober-Curious has given me a community of support while I got to learn about why I drink when I feel triggered, and how alcohol has affected so many different areas of my life. The process of bringing awareness to my relationship with alcohol, supported by the love and openness from this group of women - has given me an incredible foundation for a healthier life, better relationships, and freedom that I haven’t felt since I was a little girl.”

  • “Sara has provided so much space and permission for me to show up as me and only me. She has invited the shadowy, restless parts of my person come out of hiding and explore what it means to integrate the accepted and ridiculed chapters of my story. She shows up as a gentle force of a therapist and even more importantly shows up as human always.”

  • “Working with Sara is a magical and paradoxical experience that I cannot recommend highly enough. She has an ethereal presence combined with a groundedness that allows you to envision possibilities you’ve never considered, while simultaneously being incredibly down-to-earth and present in the here and now. She radiates warmth and gentleness while being direct, firm, and real. Most importantly, her clients adore her and experience the growth and transformation they’ve wanted, but never been able to obtain. I wholeheartedly recommend Sara to anyone looking for serious growth and radical healing.”
