Couples therapy in Los Angeles
As with any client, I work with couples from a holistic, systems-oriented lens
How does couples therapy work?
Couples therapy is a dedicated space to explore the relationship - the patterns, cycles, and dynamics that develop between two people over time. Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, couples therapy helps to understand each partner's experience. Oftentimes interactions in couples solidify into familiar, frustrating loops. You might recognize these as the moments where the same argument happens again and again, or where distance grows even when you both want connection. In sessions, we will slow down these cycles and learn how to responding in a new way. This creates real change not just within each person, but within the relationship as a living system. The goal is to develop new patterns that make room for more safety and closeness.
What is your approach?
My work is grounded in a holistic, systems-oriented lens that understands people in relationship to everything that shapes them: their families of origin, cultural contexts, attachment histories, bodies, and the broader systems they move through in the world. Cyclical relationship issues problems live in inherited patterns, and in the ways we've learned to protect ourselves that sometimes work against us. In our work together, we pay attention to the whole picture including thoughts, emotions, physical experience, and relational history. This approach is collaborative and curious, and will help you understand yourself and your relationships more fully.
