Couples Therapy
Relationships have a way of bringing our deepest attachment wounds, fears, and longings to the surface. You and your partner may find yourselves caught in familiar cycles of conflict, avoidance, or emotional distance - wanting to feel closer while struggling with the vulnerability that deeper intimacy requires. Difficult conversations may escalate or go unspoken, one partner may pursue connection while the other withdraws, and over time, both of you may feel increasingly misunderstood, disconnected, or alone within the relationship.
Deeper intimacy doesn’t require losing yourself in your relationship. Together, you can learn to tolerate vulnerability, communicate more authentically, maintain a stronger sense of individuality, and create healthier emotional boundaries. As old patterns begin to shift, there is greater room to build a relationship grounded in emotional safety, mutual understanding, interdependence, and the freedom to feel deeply connected while still being fully yourself.
Couples counseling offers an opportunity to look beneath your patterns and better understand what is happening between - and within each of you. By exploring the attachment experiences, fears, and protective strategies shaping your relationship, you can develop greater insight into yourself and a more compassionate understanding of your partner. Relationship therapy can help you recognize and shift patterns of emotional avoidance, codependency, and enmeshment that may unintentionally interfere with genuine closeness.
I offer couples therapy in Beverly Grove and Santa Monica, Los Angeles, as well as virtual couples therapy throughout California.
