Online Couples Therapy in California
Couples therapy offers a supportive place to slow down repetitive patterns, deepen connection, and navigate transitions with care. Whether you’re feeling stuck in the same conflict, disconnected from one another, or unsure how to communicate what matters most, therapy provides a structured space to explore relational patterns with curiosity rather than blame.
Who This Work is For
This work can be helpful when:
You’re repeating the same fights without resolution
Emotional connection feels distant or strained
Life transitions (work, family, caregiving) are testing your bond
Cultural or value differences create tension
I specialize in working with couples who come from different cultural, racial, or financial backgrounds.
Approach & What We Focus On
My approach prioritizes mutual understanding, culturally responsive care, and communication that strengthens connection over time. Together, we examine:
How stress and cultural expectations shape interactions
What each partner needs to feel emotionally safe
Patterns of communication that support closeness and care
Practical strategies for listening and responding with care
I take an integrative approach using my training in the Gottman method and Internal Family Systems.
How It Works
All couples sessions are 50 minutes long offered via secure telehealth, making it easy to meet from home or wherever you feel comfortable. Online therapy can be especially supportive for busy schedules or partners in different locations.
