Rebuilding Trust and Intimacy Therapist in Venice
Repair What Was Broken. Reconnect Emotionally. Restore What Matters Most.
In our therapy sessions, we will focus on:
• Understanding the roots and impact of the trust rupture
• Creating space for honesty, accountability, and emotional safety
• Processing betrayal trauma or emotional disconnection
• Rebuilding transparency and consistent follow-through
• Reigniting emotional, physical, and sexual intimacy
• Addressing fear of vulnerability or closeness
• Learning how to repair ruptures and maintain trust going forward
• Developing deeper emotional attunement and secure attachment
When trust is damaged—whether through betrayal, neglect, dishonesty, or emotional distance—it can feel like the foundation of your relationship has cracked. Rebuilding trust and intimacy takes more than time. It takes willingness, honesty, vulnerability, and support.
As a therapist, I guide individuals and couples through the delicate, powerful process of healing trust and reigniting emotional and physical closeness. Whether you’re recovering from infidelity, growing apart, or struggling to open up again after past pain, therapy offers a safe space to rebuild—together or individually.
Healing takes time—but it’s possible. Trust can be rebuilt, and intimacy can be rediscovered. Let’s help you reconnect—not just with each other, but with what love looks like when it’s rooted in truth, care, and courage.
I provide therapy in Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Venice, Marina Del Rey, Culver City, Mar Vista, Playa Del Rey, West Los Angeles, Pacific Palisades, Palms, and Santa Monica.
