You’re here because something needs to change in your relationship. You feel disconnected, overwhelmed & exhausted from trying to make things work. You’ve read the books, followed the experts, maybe even tried strategies that seem to work for others, but nothing sticks long enough to feel like real relief. The truth is, most people were not taught how to build a thriving relationship while juggling careers, parenting & daily stress. Just like athletes work with coaches, couples deserve space to strengthen communication, rebuild trust & emotional safety. You can feel less reactive, finally heard & back to the joy you once had.
I work with committed partners who want real change. I bring a direct, honest, and practical approach to therapy. My clients appreciate that I make tough topics relatable. Therapy helps you reconnect, rebuild trust, and feel like a team again. I offer both structure and flexibility, through weekly or intensives sessions to accommodate busy lives.
If you're seeking deeper understanding, better communication, or a way to break old patterns, I offer a free intro call so you can take the first step without pressure. I meet in-person in Pleasanton, CA or virtually throughout California. If you’re ready to invest in each other again, I’d be honored to support your journey forward.
