Couples Therapy

You and your partner have worked really hard together to get where you’re at in life. Somewhere along the way your dance together has fallen out of step. Maybe you both have tried to coach each other into how to do it right or even blamed each other, but now you both are more interested in something that works. Relationships are the most important investments in life. It is normal for couples to experience distress and it’s a great opportunity to go deeper together.

We all want an epic love story.

You want great conversations, fulfilling sex & excellent connection. To parent like champions and not repeat the same mistakes that came before.

California Couples Therapy & Counseling

  • The average couple has waited through six years of distress before they seek help.

  • I’m passionate about helping couples restore the love they once knew.

  • Couples can work towards a bold future of deep, strong, and reliable connection.

  • Couples can triumph over repetitive patterns and transform their bond.

  • Helping your relationship is world changing, it’s my way of making the world a better place.

“Between what is said and not meant, and meant and not said, most of love is lost.”

I help you with emotionally focused therapy.

I help you create change through emotionally focused therapy (EFT). I am a certified EFT therapist from the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused therapy and in ongoing advanced training & supervision in EFT & I love it. I think you’re going to love it too. EFT brings clarity and a map to the confused place you’re in when you and your lover are in distress. EFT is to me the best chance couples have. “In terms of the gold standard set out by bodies such as APA for psychotherapy research, EFT epitomizes the very highest level…”. Forty-two efficacy studies show that EFT has an unusually high effectiveness compared to other models and methods (ICEEFT). Yet that’s not really why I love EFT, I love EFT because it has enthralled me through its impact on my own relationships, and I see it help couples everyday in my therapy practice. It is effective on paper but the experience of its outcomes is what excites me. I really want to help you have smaller fights that are less threatening, to communicate better and ultimately for you and your lover to become refuges to each other.

  • EFT Couples therapy is highly effective according to research.

  • EFT Couples therapy is considered brief, length of time depending on complexity of relationship dynamics.

  • EFT Couples therapy is a gift to your partner and your children.

  • EFT Couples therapy can help you grow in powerful ways as an individual.
