Therapy For Relationships + Boundaries
Virtual Therapy Available Throughout California, Massachusetts, New Jersey + Indiana
You care deeply about the people in your life, but sometimes that can make it hard to know where your needs fit.
Maybe you say yes when you want to say no, avoid difficult conversations, overthink how someone might react, or feel responsible for keeping the peace. You may find yourself giving more than you have, shrinking parts of yourself to stay connected, or feeling guilty for having needs at all.
Relationship stress and difficulty with boundaries can leave you feeling resentful, anxious, disconnected, or unsure of what is actually yours to carry. Over time, it can affect friendships, family, dating, work, and the way you see yourself.
Therapy for relationships and boundaries can help you better understand your patterns, communicate more clearly, and practice setting limits that protect your well-being without cutting you off from the people you care about.
You do not have to choose between connection and being yourself. There is room for relationships that feel caring, honest, and mutual.
Relationship and boundary struggles do not always look like obvious conflict. Sometimes they look like keeping the peace, making yourself easy to be around, or noticing that you are constantly considering everyone else before yourself. You may have relationships that look fine from the outside while privately wondering why being close to people feels so exhausting.
Meet Your Therapist
Hi, I’m Dr. Angelica.
I’ve spent more than a decade supporting people who struggle with guilt, people-pleasing, conflict, or knowing when their own needs deserve space too.
Relationship patterns can be hard to recognize when you are used to being the flexible one, the dependable one, or the person who keeps the peace. Over time, it can become difficult to tell the difference between being caring and giving too much of yourself away.
I care deeply about helping people build relationships where they do not have to shrink, overextend, or silence themselves to stay connected. You deserve relationships with room for honesty, boundaries, mutual care, and the freedom to be fully yourself within them.
Dr. Angelica Barron Maulucci, DSW, LCSW/LICSW, CFS

What if you could go from chasing peace…
…to finding peace within yourself?
Relationships + boundaries therapy is grounded in the belief that connection should not cost you your sense of self. We can begin by understanding what makes it hard to trust your needs, set limits, and stay true to yourself in relationships.
I’m here to help you make sense of your relationship patterns, feel clearer about what you need, and build the confidence to communicate it.
