Couples Therapy
Relationships often bring our deepest attachment wounds, fears, and longings to the surface. Many couples find themselves stuck in recurring conflict cycles, communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, or patterns rooted in relational trauma and earlier relationship experiences.
Many couples come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of conflict, misunderstanding, or emotional distance. Conversations may quickly turn into arguments, one partner may withdraw while the other pursues, or both partners may feel unheard, disconnected, and unsure of how to reconnect. Over time, these patterns can create resentment, loneliness, anxiety within the relationship, and a sense of being emotionally stuck with one another.
Often these patterns are not simply communication problems. They are connected to deeper emotional needs for safety, understanding, and connection.
Using an attachment-based and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach, I help couples better understand the underlying emotions, needs, and protective patterns driving conflict. Rather than focusing only on surface-level communication, we work to understand what is happening underneath the cycle - the fears, hurts, longings, and vulnerabilities that often go unspoken.
I offer couples therapy in Beverly Grove and Santa Monica, Los Angeles, as well as virtual couples therapy throughout California.
