Couples Therapy

No matter what stage of the relationship - new couples adapting to each other’s differences, couples juggling kids and jobs, seasoned couples adjusting to an empty nest, and even couples dealing with the painful aftermath of betrayal- my approach goes beyond just improving communication. We’ll work together to unpack the roots of your reactivity, often reaching back to old wounds that are reawakened by your partner today. This understanding brings compassion to the pain, helping you see each other not as adversaries but as people deserving of empathy and patience.

In our sessions, whether you meet with me in person in San Francisco or online from anywhere in California, I provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment where we’ll get to the bottom of the stories that shape your interactions—the old hurts and habits that can turn even small issues into big fights. With a mix of proven methods like PACT (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy), EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), and The Gottman Method, we’ll identify the unconscious stories that hold each of you back—the ones that tell you it’s safer to shut down, blame, or avoid. By recognizing these patterns, you’ll start to reconnect with your values and strengths as individuals, and gain access to what is possible as a couple.
