Couples Therapy
in Los Gatos, California
Love doesn’t have to feel this hard.
Connection is possible.
The distance, the recurring arguments, the shutdown, the defensiveness. They didn’t appear out of nowhere. Most couples aren’t fighting about the surface issue. Beneath the conflict are hurt feelings, the walls that going up, and a deep longing to feel seen, valued, and understood.
In our work together, we slow the pattern down. We look at what happens inside each of you when you feel criticized, rejected, overwhelmed, or alone and how those reactions collide. Instead of debating who’s right, we focus on understanding the cycle that keeps you stuck.
This work is for couples ready to examine their own patterns with honesty and courage. Not to blame, but to understand. Not to win, but to reconnect.
Couples therapy isn’t about taking sides. It's about feeling safe enough to actually say what's true, and trusting your partner to meet you there.
When you can recognize the pattern, and reach for each other differently within it, the relationship begins to feel like a team again.

What couples therapy can offer you
A way out of the cycle — understand the pattern underneath the argument, not just the argument itself
Real repair after a breach of trust — rebuild safety and connection in a way that actually holds
Communication that doesn't spiral — learn to express what you actually need without it turning into a fight
Understanding each other's wiring — see how your individual histories shape how you show up with each other
A stronger foundation — whether you're newly together or decades in, build the kind of relationship that can handle real life
Closeness that feels safe — move from distance and defense to genuine intimacy and trust
Much of my couples work is informed by research from The Gottman Institute on what actually predicts relationship success and breakdown."
