Relationship Anxiety Therapist in California
Dr. Rox Saldana, PsyD, LMFT
Helping adults across California feel more secure in their relationships.
My work goes beyond surface-level coping skills. I help clients understand how attachment patterns, emotional responses, and past experiences shape the way they relate to themselves and others.
Clients often tell me they appreciate having a therapist who is warm, direct, and collaborative. I don’t simply agree or reassure, I ask thoughtful questions, reflect patterns I notice, and gently challenge what keeps you stuck, always at a pace that feels supportive and respectful.
How I Help with Relationship Anxiety
I take a relational, attachment-focused approach to therapy. Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, I help you understand the emotional patterns, nervous system responses, and relationship dynamics that keep you stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt.
Together, we work toward building self-trust, emotional security, and more confidence in how you show up in your relationships, not just short-term coping, but lasting change.
What Feeling Secure in a Relationship Can Look Like
If you’re tired of overthinking your relationships, you’re probably craving something more steady and secure.
Emotional confidence and a sense of calm instead of constantly overthinking
Secure, stable relationships that don’t feel overwhelming or uncertain
Clear boundaries without guilt or the need to over-explain
Communicating your needs with confidence and trusting yourself without second-guessing
How Therapy With Me is Different
Therapy with me is collaborative, relational, and focused on helping you feel emotionally secure, both within yourself and in your relationships.
Many clients come to therapy already understanding why they feel anxious, yet still feel stuck in the same patterns. Insight alone doesn’t change attachment wounds or nervous system responses.
Rather than telling you what to do, I help you understand why certain situations feel so overwhelming and support you in creating new ways of responding that feel more grounded, confident, and aligned.
If this feels like what you’ve been looking for, the next step is a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
What Guides My Work
The name Brilla, Spanish for to shine, reflects an understanding that healing often involves recognizing the inner strength, clarity, and light that already exists within each person.
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
-Matthew 5:16 (NIV)
