Couples Therapy & Counseling in Los Angeles

Couples Counseling

We're often told that relationships take "hard work" - but rarely told what that work actually looks like. You might be going through the motions of communication and still feel deeply unheard. Conflict might keep cycling in the same patterns no matter how many conversations you have. Or things might feel more distant than difficult, and you're not quite sure how you got here.

Whether you're hoping to strengthen your connection, work through a specific rupture, or figure out what the future of your relationship looks like, couples therapy in Los Angeles offers a space to slow down and actually get to the heart of what's happening between you.

A psychodynamically informed approach to couples work means we look beneath the surface arguments to understand what's really being triggered - the unmet needs, old wounds, and unconscious patterns each partner brings into the relationship. Often the conflicts that feel most stuck are less about the presenting issue and more about deeper emotional dynamics that haven't yet had a chance to be named or understood.

I work with traditional and non-traditional couples alike and tailor my approach to fit each couple's unique dynamic. As an LMFT in Los Angeles, I also draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners identify and shift the emotional patterns driving disconnection, and the Gottman Method to build practical communication skills and uncover the deeper needs underneath surface-level conflict.

Together, we'll work toward a relationship that feels more honest, more secure, and more like what you both actually want.

If you're searching for a couples therapist or marriage counselor in Los Angeles, I welcome both traditional and diverse couples and am here to help you navigate whatever comes next.
