Couples Therapy in Los Angeles
Break the negative cycle & build something stronger together with online couples therapy in California
Your relationship is one of the most important investments you will ever make. Yet even the strongest partnerships can get stuck in painful cycles—arguments that never resolve, emotional distance, intimacy challenges, or feeling like you’re living parallel lives.
If you’re in Los Angeles and searching for support, couples therapy can help you and your partner reconnect, rebuild trust, and create a relationship that feels fulfilling again.

HELPING YOU UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER (& yourselves) BETTER.
I specialize in helping partners move past surface-level fixes to uncover the deeper patterns driving conflict. My clients often come to me navigating:
Cultural differences and cross-cultural relationships
ADHD, autism, and neurodiverse couples dynamics
Trauma, grief, and how they impact intimacy
Mismatched sexual desire or intimacy struggles
Long-standing patterns of miscommunication or resentment
My approach is direct, compassionate, and human. You won’t find cookie-cutter advice here—I meet you where you are, with humor, honesty, and evidence-based methods like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Relational Life Therapy, neurodivergence-affirming approaches, the Gottman Method tools, and attachment work.
Therapy that fits your Los Angeles lifestyle
Life in LA is busy and demanding. That’s why I provide telehealth sessions that make therapy accessible no matter where you are—whether you’re in West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Silver Lake, the Valley, or anywhere else in the city.
Many couples find that online therapy gives them the flexibility and comfort they need to fully engage in the process without fighting LA traffic.
Invest in your relationship
It seems like you’ve tried everything to work through your issues as a couple, and yet here you still are: same fight, different day. It starts with walking on eggshells and trying not to set each other off, but no matter what you do, you both feel either “too much” or “not enough.”
Maybe you’re holding it together on the outside, just doing what you can to get through the week—but inside, you’re worn down and starting to lose hope.
You worry about the example you’re setting for the kids, and even more so about how resigned you feel toward your partner. You love each other, but you're wondering if love is enough to keep you together when you’ve drifted so far apart.
If you’re ready to move past disconnection and create a relationship that feels supportive, resilient, and loving again, I’d love to work with you.

No. Many couples seek therapy because they want to strengthen their relationship before problems become more severe. Therapy can be helpful whether you're experiencing frequent conflict, emotional distance, intimacy concerns, communication challenges, or simply feeling stuck.

For most couples, I recommend weekly sessions when we begin working together. Consistent sessions allow us to build momentum, understand your relationship patterns, and create meaningful change. Couples who attend sporadically often find it much harder to make lasting progress.

This is very common. Many people worry therapy will become a place where they are blamed or criticized. My role is not to determine who is right or wrong, but to help both partners understand the patterns that keep them stuck and learn new ways of relating to each other.
-
I use a Relational Life Therapy-informed approach, which means I am not always completely neutral about behaviors that are damaging the relationship. While I support both partners, I may challenge patterns such as defensiveness, avoidance, contempt, or controlling behavior when they are preventing the relationship from improving.
-
Absolutely. Neurodiverse couples often experience challenges that are frequently misunderstood by traditional relationship advice. Therapy can help both partners better understand each other's experiences, reduce recurring conflicts, and create a relationship that works for both people.
