Couples and Relationship Therapy

Couples and Relationship Therapy

Relationships are at the heart of our lives. When they’re strong, we feel secure, supported, and loved. When they’re struggling, it can feel like everything else begins to unravel. If you’re feeling stuck, distant, or uncertain in your relationship, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out alone either.

I offer psychotherapy for couples and people in all kinds of relationships—married, partnered, dating, LGBTQ+, and other non-traditional partnering. Whether you’re navigating crisis or simply want to deepen your connection, I provide a safe, compassionate space to help you move forward together.

Online Therapy for California and Ireland

From the comfort of your own home, I offer online relationship therapy to partners across California and Ireland. This flexible format makes therapy more accessible and convenient, while still providing the depth and connection needed for meaningful change.

Is Relationship Therapy Right for You?

You might be wondering if partners therapy can really help. Here are some signs it might be time to reach out:

You’re having the same arguments over and over, and nothing ever gets resolved.
One or both of you feel unheard, unloved, or emotionally distant.
Your sex life has diminished or feels disconnected.
You’re navigating a betrayal, life transition, or major decision and feel overwhelmed.
The relationship feels like hard work—and the joy has gone missing.

If any of this resonates, know that support is available. With the right tools, guidance, and a willingness to grow, change is possible.

If you and your partner are considering a deeper commitment, then specialized Precommitment /Premarital therapy may be right for you. Check it out here.

What You Can Expect from Relationship Therapy

My work blends the art of compassionate listening with the science of evidence-based methods—particularly the Gottman Method, which I’ve been trained in by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. Whether you’re in crisis or simply want more from your relationship, therapy with me offers:

Clear, structured conversations to break painful patterns
feedback and practical tools to improve communication
focus on rebuilding emotional connection, trust, and intimacy
A space where both of you are seen, heard, and understood
This is a place where partners don’t just tell their side of the story— they learn how to hear each other again.

Common Areas I Help Partners With

Communication breakdowns and conflict escalation
Emotional or physical intimacy issues
Infidelity, betrayal, and trust repair
Life transitions (new parenthood, retirement, moving, etc.)
Financial stress or disagreements
Parenting, in-law dynamics, or division of labor
Substance use or compulsive behaviors impacting the relationship

Many of the partners I work with face a complex, interconnected mix of these challenges. While they may seem like surface issues, they often point to deeper needs and unresolved wounds. When we take the time to understand and address them, real and lasting transformation becomes possible.

Sometimes, a weekly session isn’t enough. For partners in crisis or just looking to make significant progress in a short period, I offer Relationship Intensives—a 4 day all inclusive private retreat format, held in the serene and healing landscape of the West of Ireland. These intensives are designed to create deep breakthroughs and lasting change, away from the distractions and stress of everyday life.

You Can Heal Your Relationship

I know that starting relationship therapy can feel intimidating. Maybe you’re afraid it won’t help. Maybe one of you is unsure about even trying. Those concerns are valid—and they’re also common.

Here’s what I want you to know: it’s possible to feel close again. To feel like a team. To feel seen, respected, and loved. Therapy is not about blame—it’s about building something better, together.

Let’s Talk

If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to schedule a free 30-minute video consultation. It’s a chance for us to meet, talk about what’s going on, and see if we’re a good fit. I’ll be honest with you about how I can help, and if it’s not the right match, I’ll do my best to point you toward someone who is.

This could be the beginning of a new chapter in your relationship. Let’s find out—together.
