Relational Therapy For adults in Connecticut & New York
A thoughtful space to understand the relational patterns that leave you feeling disconnected, unseen, or alone and begin moving toward deeper, more secure connection.
Individuals & Couples Therapy
Sometimes THE STRUGGLE ISN’T OBVIOUS.
You may be successful in many areas of your life, yet find yourself feeling anxious in relationships, emotionally disconnected, lonely, overwhelmed, or stuck repeating the same painful patterns.
In therapy, we slow down enough to begin understanding these patterns with clarity and without judgment. Whether you struggle to trust others, fear abandonment, or find yourself people-pleasing, we can work together to help you look more closely at these patterns and create space for self-discovery.
The work we do together is reflective and steady. Over time, this offers you an opportunity to better understand the emotional patterns shaping your life and a chance to begin creating new possibilities for connection, fulfillment, and change. Your story matters, and it deserves thoughtful understanding.

Step into Deeper understanding.
My work is grounded in relational therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and attachment-focused therapy.
Together, we'll explore how past experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns may continue to influence how you experience yourself and others today. And we’ll pay attention to what feels difficult or unresolved. Over time, this careful approach helps create clarity and restore a stronger sense of self.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, therapy helps uncover the deeper emotional roots of anxiety, relationship difficulties, emotional loneliness, attachment wounds, and relational trauma. This kind of curious exploration is thoughtful, intentional, and quietly transformative.

MEET Luz.
I believe meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves more fully, and that healing often happens through relationship.
Many of the struggles we experience are shaped by moments when we felt unseen, misunderstood, disconnected, or alone. Over time, these experiences can influence how we relate to ourselves and others in ways we may not fully recognize.
My role is to provide a thoughtful, collaborative space where deeper understanding can emerge. Together, we’ll explore the patterns shaping your experiences and create room for greater self-awareness, connection, emotional freedom, and more meaningful relationships.
Frequently asked questions
Many people find themselves facing similar struggles across different relationships, even when the circumstances appear different. These patterns often develop over time as ways of protecting ourselves, seeking connection, or adapting to earlier experiences. Therapy can help uncover the origins of these recurring dynamics and create opportunities for more intentional, fulfilling, and authentic relationships.
New Light Psychotherapy integrates relational, psychodynamic, attachment-focused, and trauma-informed approaches to therapy. Together, these approaches help individuals and couples better understand the emotional and relational patterns that influence their lives, relationships, and overall well-being.

Online therapy offers the same thoughtful and confidential therapeutic experience as in-person sessions while providing greater flexibility and convenience.

Yes. Attachment trauma is one of the central areas of focus at New Light Psychotherapy. Attachment wounds often develop through experiences of emotional neglect, inconsistency, loss, or disruptions in important relationships. These early experiences can influence self-esteem, emotional regulation, intimacy, and relationships throughout adulthood. Therapy provides an opportunity to understand these patterns and develop new ways of relating to yourself and others.
The first therapy session is an opportunity to begin getting to know one another and to explore what brings you to therapy at this point in your life. Together, we'll discuss your current concerns, relevant personal or relationship history, and what you're hoping to gain from therapy. There are no expectations to share everything immediately. The initial sessions are designed to help establish a sense of comfort, gain clarity, and determine how therapy can best support you.
Begin Where You Are
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationship challenges, attachment wounds, emotional disconnection, or simply a feeling that something isn't working, therapy can help you move toward greater understanding, connection, and emotional well-being.
Whether you seek support for yourself or for your relationship, a brief consultation allows us to connect, talk about how therapy unfolds, and explore whether working together feels like the right fit. It’s simply a space to begin the conversation.
