Couples Therapy in San Francisco and online throughout California
Therapy for Couples
Relationships are a skill–most of us are never taught.
Having strong relationships requires intention and care.
I offer couples therapy in San Francisco and online throughout California. I welcome couples of all identities and backgrounds, with a particular focus on queer-affirming care. Whether you're preparing for marriage, caught in recurring conflict, feeling disconnected, or longing for greater intimacy, therapy offers a space to understand each other more deeply, work through challenges, and build a relationship that feels more connected and fulfilling.
Maybe You’re:
Struggling to communicate without shutting down or blowing up
Feeling disconnected, even though you care about each other deeply
Unsure how to repair after a rupture or betrayal
Navigating differences in needs, values, or future plans
Caught in patterns of blame, withdrawal, or defensiveness
Trying to rebuild trust, intimacy, or emotional safety
Wondering if you're truly compatible, or if it’s time to let go
How I Help
My approach to couples therapy draws from Gottman Method principles and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), integrating practical tools for communication and conflict with a deeper exploration of the emotional needs and attachment patterns underlying your relationship. I also bring a trauma-informed, relational, and culturally responsive lens to help us understand how your histories, identities, and protective strategies shape the way you connect with one another.
Together, we might:
Identify and shift recurring patterns of communication, conflict, and disconnection
Explore how your family histories, identities, culture, and past experiences shape your relationship
Better understand the emotions and unmet needs beneath conflict
Strengthen emotional intimacy, trust, and friendship
Clarify boundaries, needs, and desires while making room for each partner’s experience
Practice repair after conflict and find new ways to reconnect
Reconnect with what matters most to you individually and as a couple
LGBTQ-Affirming Couples Therapy
I offer an affirming space for queer couples to explore their relationship with honesty and care. I may be a good fit for you if you’re looking for a therapist who understands your experience on a personal level.
Alongside the challenges that many couples experience, you may be navigating questions around identity, belonging, or how to build a relationship that balances togetherness with individuality. No need to explain yourself–I’ve got you.
“Love takes off the masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within.”
