You love each other. And right now, that doesn't feel like enough.
Couples therapy that goes beyond communication skills — to what's really happening between you.
This work is for couples who:
-
Keep having the same fight no matter how hard they try
-
Feel more like roommates than partners
-
Are rebuilding after a betrayal or breach of trust
-
Are facing a major transition — marriage, parenthood, loss, career change
-
Love each other but feel increasingly disconnected
-
Want to build something stronger before small problems become big ones
What makes couples therapy effective?
The goal isn't just better communication — though that often follows. Real couples work helps each partner understand their own patterns, what they trigger in each other, and how to interrupt cycles before they escalate. It's two people learning to be in the room together differently.
I bring nearly 20 years of experience, deep training in attachment and relational dynamics, and a direct, warm approach. I won't let sessions become unproductive venting — we'll move toward something.
What about premarital therapy?
If you're preparing for marriage or a serious commitment, premarital therapy is one of the highest-return investments you can make. We'll surface the conversations you haven't had yet and build a foundation for navigating difficulty when it comes.
What about separation or divorce?
If you're considering separation or have decided to divorce, therapy can help you move through that process with more clarity, less damage, and more dignity — especially when children are involved.
How I work:
I bring nearly 20 years of experience, deep training in attachment and relational dynamics, and a direct, warm approach. I won't let sessions become unproductive venting — we'll move toward something. I am trained in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Levels 1 and 2 — one of the most evidence-based approaches to couples work available. Gottman research gives us a clear map of what makes relationships succeed or fail, and I draw on that framework to help couples move out of stuck patterns and toward something that actually works.
Telehealth sessions available throughout California.
