Couples Therapy in Encino

Strengthen connection, rebuild trust, and break free from painful relationship patterns.

Many couples come to therapy feeling stuck in the same arguments, struggling to communicate effectively, feeling misunderstood, or experiencing a growing sense of distance and disconnection. Others are working through the impact of infidelity, trust issues, addiction-related challenges, or unresolved resentment. I help couples identify the patterns that keep them stuck, better understand one another's experiences, and develop healthier ways of communicating and responding to conflict. Together, we work toward rebuilding connection, increasing understanding, and creating a stronger, more satisfying relationship.

You Might Be Here Because...

You want to communicate better, understand each other more clearly, and feel more connected.
You keep returning to the same conflicts, and improvements don’t seem to last.
Conversations escalate quickly, leaving you hurt, defensive, or unheard.
Resentment has built up, and one or both of you feel criticized, overlooked, or taken for granted.
You feel more like roommates than partners, with less emotional closeness, affection, or sexual intimacy.
Since becoming parents, you’ve struggled to feel close as a couple. One or both of you may feel overlooked, overwhelmed, or pressured around intimacy, and attempts to reconnect can leave you feeling further apart.
Trust has been damaged by infidelity or other breaches of trust.
You’re navigating the challenges of a blended family, including parenting differences, competing needs, and finding your place with one another.
One or both of you are seriously questioning whether to stay.

You don't have to wait until you've reached a breaking point to get help. And if you're already there, that doesn't mean it's too late to find out what is possible.

How I Help

My approach is active and direct, with warmth and care for both of you. Together, we focus on three areas:

Identify where you get stuck. I help you recognize what happens between you when communication breaks down, leaving you disconnected or caught in the same conflicts.

Understand your reactions more deeply. I help each of you understand what you’re reacting to in difficult moments and how your unique life experiences shape those responses. This work can be transformational.

Learn concrete skills. I teach you how to express your needs, listen to one another, handle disagreements, and repair hurt—so you can put new responses into practice and build a richer, more fulfilling relationship.

We work on handling conflict differently and healing the hurt left by betrayal or broken trust. Rebuilding trust involves honest conversations, taking responsibility, and following through on meaningful changes. That process can create room for genuine forgiveness and renewed closeness.

When You're Not Sure the Relationship Can Be Saved

Some couples come ready to work on their relationship. Others are unsure whether they want to stay together. I am comfortable working with deeply distressed couples and helping you look honestly at what would need to change, without assuming a particular outcome.
