Welcome to Couples Therapy at Atwater Village Therapy

My couples therapy sessions are designed to foster growth, understanding, and stronger connections, guided by a blend of Emotion-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method along with insights from psychodynamic psychotherapy and DBT therapy.

How Therapy Can Transform Your Relationship

  • Deepen Communication: Unlock new ways to express needs and emotions, promoting empathy and reducing misunderstandings.

  • Resolve Conflicts Effectively: From financial disputes to parenting styles, learn strategies to find common ground.

  • Manage Life Transitions: Navigate challenges like career changes or family dynamics with guidance that strengthens your partnership.

  • Break Unhelpful Patterns: Learn to understand the history of distressing cycles and learn effective strategies to break them.

  • Rebuild Trust: Step-by-step, rebuild the foundation of your relationship with honesty and commitment.

  • Develop Long-Terms Skills: Learn tools for ongoing relationship growth and strengthen your bond beyond our therapy sessions.

  • Navigate Separation with Care: If parting ways, do so with respect and mutual understanding, equipped with the right emotional tools.

  • Support for Every Couple

I warmly welcome all couples, regardless of background, identity, structure, or neurotype (where one of you may have ADHD and is in a romantic relationship with a non-ADHD person). My sessions provide a safe, inclusive environment where both partners can freely explore their relationship dynamics without judgment.

What I wish couples knew
