Couples Therapy in Newport Beach & California
Creating deeper connection, understanding, and a relationship that feels intentional
Relationships have the ability to bring us some of life’s greatest joys—and they can also bring our deepest vulnerabilities, fears, and patterns to the surface.
Over time, couples may find themselves feeling disconnected, stuck in recurring conflicts, or struggling to communicate in ways that feel supportive and meaningful. Major life transitions, such as parenting, infertility, loss, career changes, or personal growth, can also impact the way partners relate to one another.
Couples therapy offers a space to slow down, understand each other more deeply, and create a relationship built on connection, compassion, and intention.

What Couples Therapy with me looks like
My goal is not to determine who is right or wrong. It is to help couples better understand each other and create new ways of connecting.
Our work together may include exploring:The experiences and attachment histories that have shaped how you connect with one another
The patterns you find yourselves repeating, even when they leave you feeling disconnected or misunderstood
The deeper needs, fears, and longings that often live beneath conflict
The ways you each experience and respond to vulnerability, closeness, and emotional safety
The stories and expectations you carry about love, partnership, and what it means to be in a relationship
New ways of communicating, responding, and repairing that foster greater trust, security, and connection
My therapeutic approach to Couples Therapy
I believe relationships are shaped by the experiences, beliefs, attachment patterns, and protective strategies each person brings into the relationship.
