Online Couples Therapy in California
You’re trying, but communication feels like a minefield.
The same fights keep happening. Trust is fragile or broken. You might feel like you’re walking on eggshells or at a point where you’re not even sure if the relationship can or should continue.
Couples therapy gives you a way to work through the conflict, rebuild emotional safety, and increase love and connection.
What happens in couples therapy?
Using tools based on the Gottman Method & Attachment research, we focus on skills that repair hurts from the past, increase love and connection, communicate the right way, break out of negativity and increase positivity, create repair when there's rupture, move from isolation to "we-ness".
We’ll work on:
Breaking out of the same cycle of blame, defensiveness, or silence.
Moving from rejection to connection.
Rebuilding trust when there’s been unresolved hurt, constant let downs and disappointments.
Therapy works best when paired with action. I encourage and challenge every patient to take full ownership of their growth, practicing consistency, personal responsibility, and real-world implementation. Change comes from showing up, doing the work, and choosing to lead yourself forward every day.

Who is couples therapy for?
Couples therapy is for you if things feel tense, distant, or on the edge and you're tired of the same old fights or you're not sure how much longer you can keep going like this.
You may relate to any of the following:
You can't stop arguing, or you're stuck in silence.
Romance is dead and sex is non-existent.
You don’t feel heard, understood, or emotionally safe.
One of you is holding resentment the other doesn't fully get.
There’s been a breach of trust, and it's still in the room.
You want to try, but don’t know how to make things better.
For patients who are interested, I offer the option of Christian counseling, integrating faith-based principles into the therapeutic process. This is always patient-led, respectful, and grounded in your individual values and beliefs.
Some real-life benefits of couples therapy
After working together and regularly implementing what you learn in session…
Couples can notice big shifts in how you relate and respond to each other.
They start listening without immediately going into defense or blame.
Arguments become less frequent and less explosive when they do happen.
Emotional safety is rebuilt, creating space for honesty and connection.
Even in disagreement, there's more clarity and understanding between you.
When things go off track, you have the tools to come back to each other with kindness, compassion and care.
