Couples Therapy

Holding Hands

We're told relationships take "hard work”-

 but rarely told what that work actually looks like.

 

Maybe you’re wondering why you have the same conversations over and over and feel like they go nowhere. Or you feel distant and you’re not sure when or how that happened. Or maybe you’re wondering where this relationship is headed. 

 

Couples therapy offers a space to slow down and get to the heart of what's actually happening between you.

People come to couples therapy for all kinds of reasons, including:

  • Pre-marital counseling - building a strong foundation before making a long-term commitment.​

  • Life transitions - marriage, having or adopting a baby, becoming empty-nesters, career or financial changes, caring for elderly parents, or navigating health issues.

  • A communication tune-up - “We love each other, but we keep having the same unproductive arguments."

  • Betrayal and affairs - rebuilding trust after infidelity and other betrayals.

  • Discernment - deciding the future of the relationship from a place of regulation, not reactivity.

 

Couples therapy offers a space to slow down and actually get to the heart of what's happening between you.

What can I expect in couples therapy?

  • Goal setting - We’ll collaborate on your goals and build a treatment plan to guide our work. 

  • Identifying patterns - Couples fall into cycles that shape how conflict gets handled or avoided. We’ll name your pattern and find the deeper underlying needs. 

  • Skill-Building - Drawing on the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we’ll explore your communication habits and build new skills that you can practice between sessions. 

  • Moving forward - Whether you’re deepening your connection or navigating a transition, the goal is to make decisions from a grounded place.

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.
