Why do I keep choosing the same kind of partner?
Maria*

Maria* is successful in almost every area of her life. She’s built a strong career, her friends rely on her, and most people would describe her as confident and capable.

But when it comes to relationships, the same painful pattern keeps repeating. She’s drawn to emotionally unavailable partners. Relationships often start with excitement and intensity, but eventually Maria begins feeling anxious, second-guessing herself, and wondering if she’s asking for too much.

Part of her knows something deeper is going on. But when she’s in the relationship, the same reactions take over, and she’s tired of wondering why.

I feel like I'm always on edge.
Daniel*

Daniel* is the kind of person people depend on. He’s responsible, hardworking, and thoughtful. At work, he performs well, and others respect him.

But internally, he often feels like he’s carrying tension all the time. Relationships feel unpredictable. Small conflicts make him feel on edge, and he often finds himself replaying conversations in his head long after they happen.

Part of Daniel knows his reactions are stronger than the situation calls for. But when those moments happen, it feels automatic, like his body reacts before his mind has time to catch up. He doesn’t want to keep living with that constant tension.

I've done therapy before, but I still feel stuck.
Sofia*

Sofia* has already done a lot of personal work. She’s been to therapy before, read books about trauma and relationships, and spent time trying to understand why she reacts the way she does.

Sofia understands her patterns. But knowing why something happens hasn’t fully changed how it feels when those moments show up. Certain memories still trigger intense emotions. Certain relationship dynamics still pull her back into familiar reactions.

She doesn’t want just to understand the problem. She wants something deeper to shift.

I want relationships to feel calmer.
Alex*

Alex* has reached a point where he knows something needs to change. He’s tired of feeling anxious in relationships. Tired of questioning his instincts. Tired of relationships feeling like emotional roller coasters.

What Alex really wants is something much simpler. Relationships that feel steady. Clear boundaries. Confidence in his own judgment. And the ability to choose partners from a place of self-trust instead of fear.

But instead, he finds himself stuck in the same exhausting patterns, unsure of how to break free.

If you see parts of yourself in any of these stories, you’re not alone.

Many intelligent and thoughtful people struggle with relationship patterns that were shaped long ago – before adulthood.

Therapy can help you understand where those patterns came from – and begin to change them.

About Your Therapist
Felipe Regueira
Licensed Mental Health Counselor  ·  LMHC

Hi, I’m Felipe.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who feel frustrated that their emotional lives don’t reflect the success they’ve built in other areas.

On the outside, things may look steady or accomplished, but internally, there can be anxiety, self-doubt, or relationship struggles that don’t quite make sense.

My approach combines insight-oriented therapy with EMDR, a research-supported method for processing traumatic or emotionally charged experiences. This allows us not only to understand your patterns, but to shift them at a deeper, more lasting level.

I offer a space where you feel genuinely understood, and where therapy leads to meaningful change, rather than circling the same conversations.

Let’s start with a free consultation where we can talk more about how I could support you.

Relationship Therapy for One

You don’t need a partner in the room to do meaningful relationship work. Relationship Therapy for One helps individuals understand their relational patterns, heal attachment wounds, and build the self-trust needed to create healthier connections.

This approach is especially powerful when your partner isn’t ready for therapy, or when the relationship you most need to heal is the one with yourself.

Where these stories can go

What the path forward looked like for each of them.

Maria's story

Through therapy, Maria began to understand why she felt drawn to emotionally unavailable partners and how those patterns were shaped earlier in life. Using EMDR, we worked through the underlying experiences driving her anxiety and self-doubt. Over time, she developed stronger self-trust and started choosing relationships that felt more secure and aligned with what she truly wanted.

Daniel's story

Daniel learned how his body had been conditioned to stay on high alert in relationships, even when there wasn't real danger. Together, we helped his nervous system process past experiences that were fueling that constant tension. As a result, he began to feel calmer, more grounded, and better able to respond to situations rather than react automatically.

Sofia's story

Sofia already had strong insight, but therapy helped her move beyond understanding into real emotional change. Through EMDR, we targeted the memories and experiences that still held emotional charge. Over time, those triggers softened, allowing her to feel more present, less overwhelmed, and more in control of her responses.

Alex's story

Alex worked on identifying the patterns that were keeping him stuck in anxious, unstable relationships. We focused on strengthening his self-trust and on processing the fears that were influencing his choices. As things shifted, he began to approach relationships with more clarity, confidence, and the ability to set healthier boundaries.
