"To see oneself in someone else"

Is there a way to say "to see oneself [in someone else]"?
The sentence I'm trying to write is, "Catalina saw herself in Lilia." Would that be, "Catalina se ve en Lilia"?

"to see oneself in another person" - "reconocerse en otra persona".
"I see myself in her." - "Me reconozo en ella."
"Catalina sees herself in Lilia" - ":Catalina se reconoce en Lilia."

You might consider retitling this, perhaps "to see oneself in another" would be less apt to draw up a bad image.
