Self-Worth and Relationship Patterns

Therapy available in-person in Los Angeles and virtually across California.

“You are not the person that your mind tells you that you are. You are the person receiving those messages. The one feeling the pain. And you are the person who will overcome that pain and grow beyond it.

Nicole Strauss, PhD.

Loving deeply… and getting hurt in the process

Dating starts off exciting… until you find yourself back in the same old patterns—re-reading texts, blow-ups, or shrinking down, and giving more than you’re getting.

Another partner has you anxious and doubting yourself. You promised yourself you wouldn’t repeat old cycles, yet here we are again.

Friendships and relationships can feel one-sided, messy, or emotionally draining, leaving you wondering if anyone truly sees and values the real you.

It goes deeper than dating. It shapes how you see yourself, what you expect from others, and what you believe you deserve.

What changes when you do

When you tap into your innate abundance of self-worth, everything shifts. You stop abandoning yourself just to keep the peace. You trust your intuition and feel clearer about what you want and deserve.

Instead of chasing love, you allow relationships to meet you with the same care you give. Connections feel calmer, more grounded, nourishing and emotionally safe.

Boundaries are non-negotiable, and the same heart that once felt “too sensitive” becomes the very thing guiding you toward deeper, healthier love.

Why me?

I get it—because I’ve been there. I know what it’s like to feel “too much,” unlovable, or like your needs are a burden. I’ve walked my own path through shame, self-doubt, and disempowering relationships, and I’ve come out the other side feeling deeply connected to and loved by myself and others.

In our work together, I’ll hold space for the messy, vulnerable parts of you while also helping you see your worth, set boundaries, and start choosing relationships that feel safe and life-giving.

I’m loving, intuitive, and deeply real, and I’ll meet you exactly where you are—while gently guiding you toward the confidence and mutually respectful relationships that you’ve been craving.

Who this type of therapy is for:

✦ Women who overthink everything, replay conversations in their head, or feel like their emotions are “too much.”

✦ Anyone who’s struggled with loneliness, low self-worth, or feeling unlovable, even when on the outside life looks “fine.”

✦ People who keep ending up in confusing, painful, or “toxic” relationship patterns and want to break the cycle.

✦ Those who grew up around emotionally immature, critical, or narcissistic caregivers and carry old shame or people-pleasing habits.

✦ Anyone ready to reconnect with themselves, set boundaries, and cultivate relationships that actually feel safe, healthy, and fulfilling.

Your healthier love story with yourself and others starts here.
