Therapy for Relationships & Intimacy

You keep running into the same patterns, dating that goes nowhere, a relationship that’s lost its spark, or a sense that something in your connections just isn’t working.

Maybe it’s hard to express what you need. Maybe you feel disconnected from your own desires and wants around sex and intimacy or hesitate asking. Or maybe anxiety and self-doubt show up right when closeness matters most.

At some point, it stops feeling random, and starts feeling like a pattern.

My approach focuses on understanding the patterns, projections, and unlived parts of yourself that shape how you relate. We pay attention not only to what happens outside the therapy room, but also to what emerges in the present moment between us: where vulnerability tightens, where fear pulls you back, and where old ways of protecting yourself begin to appear in real time.

This isn’t about endless talking. It’s about understanding the system you’re operating in, and building the awareness and confidence to take different risks, communicate more honestly, and create change that carries into your actual relationships and life.

So What You Can Expect

In our work together, we focus on both understanding and change.

This may include:

• recognizing patterns in dating and relationships

• building comfort with vulnerability and emotional expression

• communicating more clearly and directly

• setting boundaries with more confidence

• taking small, meaningful steps toward connection and intimacy

Who I Work With

I work with LGBTQ+ adults in Los Angeles and across California, including those specifically looking for a gay therapist in Los Angeles who understands the nuances and complexities of relationships, relationship structures, identity, and connection.

Approach

My approach integrates relational and experiential therapies, including Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic awareness, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with depth-oriented work informed by Jungian and relational Gestalt therapy.

Location

If you’re not sure where to start, I’d be happy to help and figure that out together.
