Couples Counseling
building a stronger relationship.
I am an experienced couples therapist who specializes in helping partners navigate conflict, strengthen communication, and deepen their connection. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply want to better understand one another, couples counseling can provide a space to slow down, reflect, and create meaningful change together.
understanding your relationship
Relationships have a way of bringing our deepest hopes, fears, and vulnerabilities to the surface. The purpose of couples counseling is to foster greater self-awareness while helping partners communicate with honesty, curiosity, and respect.
In our work together, we will explore the patterns that shape your relationship, including ways of relating that may contribute to conflict, distance, misunderstanding, or disconnection. Therapy can also provide a space to revisit longstanding agreements, navigate significant transitions, disclose difficult truths, and clarify the direction you want your relationship to take.
who i work with
I offer premarital counseling, marital therapy, and relationship counseling for couples at all stages of their relationship. I also work with couples who are navigating separation or divorce. My practice is inclusive of heterosexual, LGBTQ+ and queer-identified couples, as well as partners in monogamous, consensually non-monogamous, and open relationships.
what you can expect to learn
Couples counseling can help you:
• Identify and communicate your feelings more effectively in the moment
• Listen to your partner with greater empathy and understanding
• Navigate sensitive topics such as infidelity, jealousy, parenting, finances, and sexuality
• Disagree and work through conflict in a respectful and productive way
• Develop greater tolerance for differences and challenges that cannot be easily changed
• Better understand your needs for emotional and physical intimacy
• Recognize how family history, past relationships, and longstanding patterns influence the way you relate to one anotherbeginning the conversation
Beginning the conversation
Many couples wonder whether it is the right time to begin therapy. In my experience, seeking support earlier often creates more opportunities for growth and change.
If you are curious about working together, I invite you to contact me for a complimentary initial consultation by emailing me or by phone at (415) 820-1554.. We can discuss your concerns, explore your goals, and determine whether my approach feels like a good fit for you and your relationship.
