Virtual therapy in California and Nevada | Dr. Norma Ramirez, Psychologist
Your relationship once felt like a safe harbor. Now, it might seem like you’re navigating through constant tension, where feeling truly heard feels just out of reach.
It hasn’t always been like this. You remember when things felt easy, close, and safe. Now, you’re caught in cycles of disagreement or quiet detachment, and the closeness you once shared is filled with worry and past hurts. All you want is to feel like a team again—to trust, to connect, and to find calm together.
You are ready to break free from these cycles and couples therapy can help!
A struggling relationship might look like:
Feeling alone even when you're with your partner
Being on alert, wary of any signs that an argument is coming
Constant arguments about seemingly simple things
Worrying that your partner is not being honest or is withholding
Your body feels tense, and you have sleepless nights
Having several attempts to work through the distance, but none seem to work
Feeling distant and like it is easier to talk to others than to your partner
Wondering if separation is the only option
Whether you're in California or Nevada, I can help you move from constant arguing to understanding the deeper issues, so you can restore your relationship to the safe, connected space it was always meant to be.
What is Couples Therapy?
Couples therapy through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) views conflict as a sign of emotional disconnection, not just poor communication. It helps you and your partner see the repetitive cycle of pursuit and withdrawal as the common problem you face together. The focus is on creating safety to express the vulnerable feelings like fear or longing beneath the arguments.
In a structured, supportive space, I guide you to step out of this negative cycle. You will learn to ask for your needs in ways that draw your partner closer and respond in ways that build security. This process builds a lasting foundation of emotional safety and trust, transforming moments of distress into genuine connection.
The patterns you feel stuck in can change, and a more secure, fulfilling relationship is possible. You both deserve a partnership that feels like a true safe harbor of understanding and support. Taking this brave first step together can begin your journey back to each other.

Areas of Support
Emotional Disconnection & Intimacy
That ache of distance in your conversations, your affection, your intimacy is your connection asking to be tended to. Couples therapy can be the gentle space where you rebuild the trust and closeness you long for.
Communication & Conflict
If you're tired of repeating the same arguments without feeling closer, couples therapy can help. Instead of focusing on who’s right, we’ll explore the emotional cycle keeping you stuck and help you create a new pattern of safety, understanding, and secure attachment.
Trust & Betrayal
After betrayal, you may feel lost in a cycle of hurt, suspicion, and loneliness. Couples therapy guides you out of this pain by focusing on the attachment wounds beneath it, helping you forge a new, stronger bond built on understanding and renewed safety.

You know that feeling when a conversation is about to repeat itself and your chest tightens with dread. You keep arguing over the same things and there never seems to be solution. It’s heartbreaking to feel like strangers in your own home. Couples therapy helps you move beyond the surface conflict, recognize the patterns you keep repeating as a couple, and build new ways to find each other again.
Life Transitions & Stress
When external pressures and life changes pull you apart, it’s easy to feel alone in the stress. Couples therapy helps you turn toward each other, transforming life’s transitions from sources of strain into opportunities to deepen your emotional bond.
Individual Issues
Core Relational Dynamics
Personal struggles like anxiety, trauma, or grief can become walls in a relationship, leaving both partners feeling alone. In couples therapy, you'll turn those walls into windows of empathy, creating safety for both of you to be vulnerable and connected.
When your relationship feels stuck in a loop of control, resentment, or misalignment, it’s often because your emotional signals have gotten crossed. Couples therapy helps you decode those signals and build a dynamic where both of you feel valued, heard, and secure.
Neurodivergent relationships often carry unique rhythms—where missed cues or sensory overwhelm can mask a deeper longing for closeness. Through an EFT lens, we’ll help you build a bridge of emotional safety, so your differences become a source of connection rather than distance.
Neurodivergence
LGBTQ Couples
Every couple faces challenges, but LGBTQ relationships often navigate unique layers of stress, identity, and vulnerability. In couples therapy, we focus on the emotional bond between you, transforming external pressures into opportunities for deeper attunement, security, and resilience together.
Differing Cultural Backgrounds
In a relationship woven from different cultural threads, it's easy for core emotional needs to get lost in translation. In couples therapy, you'll find your shared dialect of love, safety, and belonging, strengthening the bond that holds your unique worlds together.

Frequently asked questions
Is therapy confidential?
Yes, therapy is confidential. However, there are special circumstances that, for your safety or the safety of others, confidentiality can be broken. If you have any concerns about confidentiality, bring it up in the free consultation so that Dr. Ramírez can answer your questions.
How does therapy work?
The process of therapy is dynamic and will vary depending on the person seeking therapy, the reason for therapy, and their readiness to be in therapy. Typically, therapy is a place where a person can talk safely about their thoughts, feelings, needs, wants, and behaviors. It is also a place where you can be challenged in order to address your problems and meet your therapy goals.
Do you accept insurance?
All Good Things is an insurance-friendly practice. While I'm not in network with any insurance companies, I've partnered with Mentaya to help you use your out-of-network benefits for potential reimbursement on therapy. Out-of-network benefits allow you to choose a therapist based on your needs, not just your insurance provider list. Typically, you pay upfront and may be reimbursed by your insurance after meeting a deductible. This flexibility helps you prioritize quality care and the right therapeutic fit.
What kind of therapy do you offer?
I provide an integrated form of therapy consisting of: the body, mind, soul, biology, and culture. In couples therapy, I used Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help with understanding the dynamics that have led to disconnection thoughts, and context along with developmental psychology, relational psychoanalytic therapies, and a trauma-informed lens.
