Couples Therapy in Agoura Hills & Across California
My Approach
You may find yourselves having the same argument again and again. No matter how hard you try, neither of you feels truly heard. Perhaps you're feeling disconnected, struggling to communicate, recovering from a betrayal, navigating a major life transition, or simply longing to feel close again. Even relationships built on love and commitment can become caught in painful cycles that leave both partners feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or alone.
Couples therapy offers an opportunity to step out of those patterns and begin understanding what is happening beneath the conflict. Often, the struggles couples face are not simply about communication, but about deeper needs for connection, understanding, safety, and belonging.
My approach is warm, engaged, and collaborative. Drawing from both psychodynamic and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approaches, I help couples improve communication, navigate conflict more effectively, rebuild trust, deepen emotional intimacy, and strengthen their connection. Rather than focusing on blame, I work to help each partner better understand themselves and each other, creating a foundation for meaningful and lasting change.
