Couples Therapy and Couples Therapy Intensives In-Person and Online throughout California

Tired of feeling Unhappy, lonely and Anxious because of your relationship

  • Tired of feeling the disconnect between you and your partner.

  • Tired of the miscommunication that eventually turns into an argument.

  • There may have been an affair that you can’t seem to heal from and question if you ever will be able to trust again

  • Feel like you’re walking on egg shells and afraid you’re going to say the wrong thing because it will cause a fight.

  • Hopeless because you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked

  • Longing to have a sex life again

  • When arguments happen, you don’t work through, instead you both pretend it didn’t happen and it comes up again in the next argument

When you first got together everything was so good. You’re partner was your best friend, someone you could be yourself with, respect was a priority, sex was happening almost everyday, and most importantly YOU FELT CONNECTED to your partner.

You may be having problems communication and resolving conflict. A lot of the times, it can look like one partner wanting to discuss the conflict and work through while the other partner feels the need to flee and wants nothing to do with discussing the conflict. This creates anger and frustration. The conflict turns into a major fight where one partner might start calling the other partner bad names.

Maybe, your relationship is good but you just want to work on having better communication or you’re preparing for a baby or wedding basically any life transition. Therapy can help guide you both through these transitions while feeling supported and learning skills to maintain a healthy and thriving relationship.

It may feel impossible now, but you can find the fun and love in your relationship again. You can build and repair trust. You can learn to communicate better and more vulnerably.

And I can help you get there.

(Couples retreat is for couples who don’t have any major conflict. It’s for couple who want to bring their relationship from “Good” to “Great”)

My approach to couples therapy comes from understanding the dynamic of two individuals. I do not take sides or place blame. I take the time to listen and see how the arguments start, where the miscommunication starts, what triggers each person etc.

I offer the Gottman Method for couples therapy. It’s a widely used and effective method to help couples build stronger relationships, increase intimacy, and have the skills to maintain a healthy and thriving relationship.


Reconnect with Your Partner.

I can help you reconnect and feel the bond that brought you together in the first place

Frequently asked questions about couples therapy:

  • Therapy for couples and relationships can look a number of different ways, and how we spend each individual session might look different.

    When we start out, we’ll meet all together in one session. Next, I’ll schedule an individual meeting with both of you, to get a more in-depth view on each person’s perception of the problem(s) in the relationship. We’ll then have the remainder of our sessions with everyone present together.

    Typically, it’s helpful to begin by meeting weekly so that the two of you can really feel some progress in your relationship. Often meeting at less frequent intervals can lead to slower therapeutic gains.

    We will always begin by forming a solid therapeutic relationship as I want you to feel safe in our connection and work. And I always encourage feedback about ways to make your experience better!

  • I’m excited about the opportunity to support you on your journey towards building a stronger, more connected relationship! We’ll start with a free 20 minute consultation so that we can meet and see how we connect.

    I truly believe the connection between therapist and clients makes all the difference in therapy, so if any of us decides we are not the best fit, I will be happy to provide you with referrals.

  • It really depends on what your needs and goals are. I’ve worked with a number of couples for a short period of time (6-10 sessions) or longer (15+ sessions). When there are more complex and painful pieces of your history as a couple (e.g., infidelity, domestic violence), it’s not uncommon to meet for 6 months to a year.

    Some people choose to meet with a couples therapist for an extended period of time to process multiple difficult events in the relationship or simply to have a safe space to come back to as needed for when they get stuck in another point of conflict.

  • The difference is simple. A normal 50 minute weekly session is just that. An Intensive session is a longer session allowing faster relief and greater gains because we aren't having to stop after 50 minutes and then restarting the next week.
