Self-Worth and Relationships with Yourself and Others
Virtual therapy available across California
“Your inner critic tells you a message, and you’ve learned to believe it. It’s time you rewrite the stories”
– Dr. Nicole Strauss
Loving deeply… and losing yourself
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 may feel one-sided, messy, or emotionally draining, leaving you wondering if anyone truly sees and values the real you.
You may find yourself magnetically attracted to people with intense confidence, as though receiving love from them fills you up inside.
The wound goes deeper than dating. It shapes how you see yourself, how you show yourself, what you expect from others, and what you believe you deserve.
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.
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 work with 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 towards the confidence and mutually respectful relationships that you’ve been craving.
