Couples Therapy in San Francisco & Online

For couples facing something harder than a rough patch — ongoing conflict, a rupture in trust, or a disconnection that's been building quietly for a while. This is longer-term work for couples who are committed to figuring it out, not just getting through it. In-person in San Francisco or online across California.

Improve Communication in Your Relationship

Couples therapy isn't just for crisis. Sometimes it's for the couple that loves each other but keeps hitting the same wall — the argument that never quite resolves, the distance that's crept in, the sense that you're running parallel lives instead of a shared one.

I work with couples who are ready to understand what's actually happening between them — not just manage it. Using a Gottman-informed approach, we'll look at the patterns underneath the conflict and build something more sustainable.

If you're looking for shorter, more structured work with a clear arc, my Brief Couples Therapy offering may be a better fit.

Areas of Focus

Rebuild Trust & Connection

Trust doesn't break all at once — and it doesn't rebuild that way either. Whether you're recovering from a specific rupture or trying to close a distance that's grown over time, this work is about understanding what got you here and building something more solid going forward.

That often means looking at what each of you brings from before — the patterns, the defaults, the ways you've learned to protect yourself that aren't serving the relationship anymore. When those patterns become visible, they become workable.

Navigate Transitions Together

Transitions ask something of a relationship that day-to-day life doesn't. A new city, a career shift, a baby, an empty nest, a loss — these moments change the shape of who you are individually, and that change ripples into how you show up together.

Couples who navigate transitions well don't do it by accident. They find ways to stay curious about each other through the change rather than retreating into their own corners. That's exactly what this work is for.
