Couples Therapy in Brentwood, Los Angeles & Telehealth Across California

Relationships can be one of the most meaningful and rewarding parts of life, but they can also become a source of frustration, misunderstanding, and emotional distance.

I provide couples therapy in Brentwood, Los Angeles, as well as telehealth couples therapy throughout California, helping partners understand the patterns that create conflict and develop healthier ways of connecting.

Common Relationship Concerns

Couples often seek therapy when they experience:

• Repeated arguments that never fully resolve
• Emotional distance or disconnection
• Difficulty communicating effectively
• Trust issues or lingering hurt from past experiences
• Feeling stuck in negative cycles of conflict

Often these patterns develop gradually, leaving both partners feeling misunderstood or frustrated.

Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples

My work with couples integrates Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a research-supported model that focuses on understanding and strengthening emotional bonds within relationships.

EFT helps couples:

• Identify the negative interaction patterns that create conflict
• Understand the emotional needs underlying those patterns
• Develop more secure and supportive ways of relating to each other

As couples begin to understand these patterns, many experience a renewed sense of connection and emotional safety.

Integrating EMDR in Couples Therapy

At times, past experiences—such as earlier relationship injuries or unresolved trauma—can influence how partners respond to one another.

When appropriate, EMDR therapy may be used to help process these experiences so they no longer create the same emotional reactivity within the relationship.

This can help couples move beyond longstanding triggers and create healthier ways of responding to each other.

A Collaborative Approach

Couples therapy provides a structured space where both partners can:

• Feel heard and understood
• Explore the deeper dynamics shaping the relationship
• Develop healthier communication patterns
• Rebuild trust and emotional connection

The goal is not simply to resolve individual conflicts, but to help couples develop a stronger and more secure relationship.

Couples Therapy in Brentwood & Telehealth Across California

I offer:

• In-person couples therapy in Brentwood (West Los Angeles)
• Telehealth couples therapy throughout California

Both options allow couples to engage in therapy in a way that works with their schedules.

Getting Started

If you and your partner are experiencing recurring conflict or feeling disconnected, couples therapy can provide a space to better understand these patterns and begin moving toward a more secure and fulfilling relationship.

The process begins with a brief consultation to determine whether working together would be helpful.
