COUPLES THERAPY

There’s no greater feeling than being truly seen, deeply known, and fully loved by another—and offering that same gift in return.

All relationships take work—even the picture-perfect ones flooding your feed. Couples therapy is about uncovering the conscious and unconscious patterns shaping your dynamic, tending to the tough spots with love, patience, and compassion, and strengthening your foundation of trust, intimacy, and connection. Together, we’ll create a space where you both feel heard, seen, and supported—so your relationship can thrive in a way that’s real, not just “Insta-worthy.”

Most couples wait nearly 3 years after problems begin before seeking therapy—but the sooner you start, the greater the chance to heal, reconnect, and create a stronger, more fulfilling relationship!

I work with couples experiencing a variety of challenges including:

  • Proactive therapy (exploring strengths, deepening connection, and preventing future issues)

  • Feeling unheard or misunderstood by your partner

  • Challenges expressing feelings and needs

  • Recurring conflicts that don’t resolve

  • Commitment, attachment, and trust-related issues

  • Feelings of insecurity in the relationship

  • Declining or lack of sexual intimacy

  • Navigating sexual trauma as a couple with care, patience, and understanding

  • Premarital preparation

  • Merging families or lifestyles

  • Personal boundaries & individual growth within the relationship

  • Lack of relationship direction or misaligned goals

  • Discernment therapy (whether to stay together or part ways)

  • I offer both in-person sessions at my office in Old Town Pasadena and virtual sessions for California residents, conducted on a secure HIPPA-compliant video platform. You’re welcome to do a hybrid of in-person and virtual sessions as well!

  • We’ll start by exploring what brings your relationship to therapy and set meaningful goals to guide our work together. From there, we’ll meet for weekly sessions where I’ll weave in a mix of approaches tailored to your individual and collective needs. Think of therapy as a collaboration—you bring your experiences, I bring my expertise, and together, we co-create a space where real healing happens and you move closer to the relationship and life you want.

    • 50-minute individual therapy session: $200

    • 90-minute individual therapy session (recommended): $275

    All sessions are automatically charged to a credit card on file, and you’re welcome to pay using your HSA/FSA.

    I am not in-network with any insurance providers, and unlike individual therapy, insurance rarely—if ever—covers couples therapy (especially with an out-of-network provider).
