UnPattern In Relationships

You don’t need your partner in the room to work on your relationships.

Whether you’re dating, partnered, single, or unsure where things are headed, individual relationship therapy helps you understand your patterns, regulate emotional reactions, and make clearer, more self-trusting choices — without blaming yourself, your partner or pathologizing your past.

This is therapy for people who want to relate more consciously.

This might be right for you if…

  • You keep repeating the same relationship dynamics — even with different people

  • You overthink interactions, communication, or conflict

  • You feel anxious, shut down, or unsure how to express your needs

  • You struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or emotional distance

  • You’re doing “the work” but still feel stuck when it comes to relationships

  • You want to understand your attachment patterns without being boxed into a label

You don’t need a crisis to start.
You just need curiosity — and a willingness to look honestly at how you relate.

Core Value

The relationship you have with yourself is the only constant in life - it directly shapes the depth of connection you’ll have with anyone else.

What “Unpatterning” Means Inside a Relationship

UnPattern isn’t about fixing your partner. It’s not about becoming perfectly calm or “secure.”

It’s about learning to:

  • Notice what’s happening inside you before you act it out

  • Separate old emotional conditioning from present-day reality

  • Respond from clarity instead of reflex

  • Repair faster—without blame, shutdown, or self-abandonment

In other words:
You stay in relationship with your partner and yourself.

What We Work On Together

Relationship therapy for individuals helps you:

  • Identify your relational and attachment patterns as they show up in real time

  • Understand why certain dynamics feel familiar—even when they’re painful

  • Regulate emotional reactivity instead of spiraling, shutting down, or self-abandoning

  • Communicate needs, boundaries, and limits with more clarity and steadiness

  • Stop confusing intensity, chemistry, or potential with emotional availability

  • Make relationship decisions from self-trust instead of urgency or fear

Not by changing who you are — but by changing how you relate to yourself and others.

What to Expect From the Process

Therapy isn’t a quick fix—but it is supportive, structured, and intentional.

You can expect:

  • A space where you don’t have to perform or have it figured out

  • Honest conversations without judgment

  • Support in understanding yourself more clearly

  • Tools that help you feel steadier over time

Change happens gradually, and that’s okay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are the most common questions I’m asked about therapy.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy may be a good fit if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally ungrounded, or repeating patterns you don’t fully understand—and want deeper, ongoing support to work through them.
If you’re unsure whether therapy, coaching, or a digital intensive is the right starting point, we can talk that through during your clarity call.

What issues do you help with in therapy?

I work with adults around:

  1. Anxiety and chronic stress

  2. ADHD and executive functioning challenges

  3. Trauma and nervous system dysregulation

  4. Dating and relationship patterns

  5. Breakups and relational loss

  6. Identity shifts, life transitions, and solo seasons

You don’t need to fit into one category to benefit.

Do you offer in-person or virtual therapy?

Yes. I offer:

  1. In-person therapy in San Diego, CA

  2. Telehealth therapy for clients located in California, Colorado, and Utah

How is therapy different from coaching or digital programs?

Therapy is licensed mental health treatment and is appropriate when you’re working with anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, or significant emotional distress.
Coaching and digital intensives focus on education and skill-building. Therapy allows for deeper exploration, nervous system care, and clinical support—paced according to your capacity.
If another option is a better fit, I’ll let you know honestly.

Do I need to have a specific diagnosis to start therapy?

No. Many people start therapy because something feels off, overwhelming, or confusing—even if they don’t have a diagnosis.

We focus on understanding your experience, not labeling it unnecessarily.

Is therapy short-term or long-term?

That depends on your goals and needs.
Some people come for short-term, focused work. Others stay longer to explore patterns, heal past experiences, or build emotional steadiness over time.
We’ll revisit pacing and goals together as therapy unfolds.

How do I get started?

You can start by scheduling a clarity call. We’ll talk through:

  1. What you’re hoping for

  2. What kind of support makes sense

  3. Whether therapy feels like the right next step

There’s no pressure to commit beyond that conversation.

More FAQs

  • I do not take insurance directly; however, I can provide superbills (like a receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company for partial reimbursement of fees if your insurance policy offers this benefit for “out-of-network” providers. If you are not sure if you have these benefits, give your insurance company a call and they can clarify.

    Please note that I do accept FSA/HSA cards.

  • Here are some helpful questions to ask your insurance provider to determine if they will cover a portion of the therapy for “out-of-network mental health providers/services.” 

    1. Is the cost of psychological therapy covered? 

    2. Is there a deductible for out-of-network services? Has it been met and if not, how long until the deductible is met? 

    3. What portion will be reimbursed?

    4. Is a referral needed? 

    5. Is pre-authorization required?

    6. Will a claim be required after services?

    The CPT codes are we utilize most are: 

    90791 (evaluation), 90834 (45 minute psychotherapy session)

  • Sessions are 45-minutes long. It’s recommended to commit to weekly sessions for consistency but we can discuss based on your needs.
