Feel closer to the person you love
Couples and individual therapy in Hermosa Beach and online throughout California
Finding a different way to be together
You love each other, yet somehow keep ending up hurt, frustrated, or alone. The same conversations go nowhere. Reaching for closeness can feel risky when you’re afraid of another argument. Therapy can help you understand how you lose connection—and begin finding a different way to be together.
I’m Kristina Jackson, a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist and Supervisor. I help couples repair disconnection and support individuals through anxiety, depression, grief, and life changes.
When connection feels out of reach
Perhaps you miss feeling like a team. One conversation becomes an argument; another ends in silence. In couples therapy, we slow down these painful moments and make sense of the feelings underneath them. We also make room for the strain parenting can place on your relationship. Together, we work toward feeling more understood and secure as partners.
A place to understand yourself
You may be carrying more than others realize. Individual therapy gives you space to explore difficult feelings, relationship patterns, and the demands of parenting or changes in family life. We attend to what you need as a person as well as in your relationships. You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin.
Warmth and experience in the room
My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy and an understanding of how deeply we need connection. I bring care and curiosity to the places where you feel stuck, helping you explore what hurts and what you hope can change.
