Erika Lopez, relationship therapist in Hermosa Beach

If you’re tired of overthinking, people-pleasing, or shrinking yourself just to keep the relationship, you’re in the right place.

When relationships start to cost you your peace, you might find yourself:

Constantly seeking reassurance
• Avoiding conflict or hard conversations
• Overthinking texts or conversations

Putting everyone else’s needs before your own
• Spending less time on hobbies or things you used to enjoy
• shrinking yourself to make the relationship work

Over time, you start to lose yourself.

Therapy can help you find your way back to yourself.

Feel more secure and connected without losing yourself

Together, we look at the deeper patterns underneath your relationships.

As you start to understand these patterns and practice new ways of showing up, you begin to notice a shift.

You may begin to notice:

• more confidence speaking up for what you want
• clearer boundaries without guilt
• less anxiety and overthinking
• greater self-trust and self-worth
• relationships that feel mutual, calm, and aligned
