Intensive Couples Therapy in Los Angeles 

Many couples say they leave feeling more understood, more emotionally aware, and more connected to what’s actually happening beneath the conflict. Clients often report feeling supported, validated, and deeply understood. I also work to remain a steady, unbiased attachment figure for both partners, holding the best interest of the relationship at the center of the work. Clients have described me as insightful, empathetic, funny, and gentle 

My approach is primarily Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment-based model that helps couples understand and shift the emotional cycles that drive disconnection. I also integrate elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support deeper emotional processing, emotional regulation, and lasting relational change.

Absolutely. Infidelity and betrayal can deeply impact trust, emotional safety, and connection within a relationship. Marriage counseling can help couples process the pain, improve communication, rebuild trust, and better understand the underlying relationship dynamics that contributed to disconnection.

Yes. I work with couples at all stages, including those on the brink of separation. When things feel this fragile, the focus is on creating enough emotional stability to understand what’s happening underneath the conflict and whether there is a path toward repair that both partners can genuinely commit to.

I work with a wide range of relational and sexual concerns, including communication challenges, conflict patterns, emotional disconnection, attachment injuries, betrayal of trust, betrayal trauma, narcissistic abuse, infidelity and rebuilding trust, differences in desire, sexual dysfunction, sexual anxiety, and pain during sex. I also support couples navigating major life transitions, parenting stress, and moments of uncertainty about whether to stay together or separate.

Sex therapy addresses the emotional, psychological, relational, and physiological factors that shape sexual connection. This can include differences in desire, intimacy challenges such as erectile dysfunction, sexual anxiety, emotional disconnection, and pain during sex. The focus is on creating safety between partners that supports curiosity, desire, and deeper connection.

Weekly therapy offers a steady, ongoing space to slow things down and work through patterns over time, allowing change to build gradually and integrate into daily life. Intensives are longer, focused sessions held over a shorter period, allowing us to go deeper more quickly and create momentum when things feel stuck or complex. They can be especially helpful for infidelity, discernment work, or for those who can’t commit to weekly sessions due to schedules or parenting demands.

Couples therapy can bring relief, insight, and reconnection, but it can also bring up strong emotions as long-standing patterns become more visible. It’s not uncommon for things to feel more intense before they shift. We move at a pace that supports both emotional safety and meaningful, sustainable change.

If you and your partner are struggling with communication, trust, emotional distance, intimacy concerns, or recurring conflict, relationship counseling can help you better understand unhealthy patterns and improve your connection.

Therapy provides a supportive space to strengthen communication, rebuild emotional closeness, and develop healthier ways of relating to one another.

That’s actually more common than you might think. You’re absolutely welcome to begin on your own. When one person starts to shift, it often creates meaningful changes in the relationship dynamic, and sometimes that naturally opens the door for the other partner to join later.

We don’t bill insurance directly. However, many clients are able to receive reimbursement through their out-of-network benefits using the superbills we provide. I recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand what your plan may cover. If you’d prefer a more hands-off option, you can also work with Mentaya. They handle the reimbursement process for you for a small fee of 5%.

Yes, confidentiality is a core part of therapy. What you share is private, with a few legal exceptions such as situations involving risk of harm to yourself or others. These limits will always be explained clearly so there are no surprises. Please feel free to ask your therapist at any time if you have questions or would like more clarity around confidentiality.
