Couples Therapy that doesn't waste your time

Couple Walking Outdoors

Some couples therapists take a hands-off approach, allowing couples to replay the same arguments without much direction. That’s not me. I help you recognize the patterns that keep you disconnected and teach you how to respond differently. I’m an active participant in your growth — offering feedback, perspective, and real-time tools to help you create a relationship that actually feels better.

You and your partner deserve to:

Improve Communication

I don’t sit back and watch you struggle. I get right in there with you, offering clear, practical guidance for communicating with more compassion and connection.  I help my clients stop sabotaging their chance to be heard with new tools and insights from the very first session.  

Rebuild Trust and Safety

When trust has been damaged, couples often feel stuck between holding on and letting go. We can slow things down together, get to the heart of what happened, and begin to rebuild with more care and connection.

Reduce Conflict

Healthy couples have fights--fair fights.  It's normal to disagree, but it doesn't have to be as painful as it's been feeling to not be on the same page.  I can help you disagree effectively, so your differences can also become your strengths.

Reignite Intimacy

Many couples come to therapy not because things are explosive, but because there's a lack of connection and intimacy--like two ships passing in the night.  Reaching out for help with your relationship is the first brave step in the right direction--and we'll rely on that bravery to support you in taking new risks with safety and security.

Relationships are Everything

Engaged

I offer in-person couples therapy in a sunny office in North Berkeley, CA.  I also see couples from all over California online. 

Let's get started.

Reach out and share as much or as little as you'd like and I'll respond within one business day.  I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
