COUPLES THERAPY IN PASADENA
Let us help you reconnect.
Exhausted with doing same dance, over and over agin?
You’re probably pretty familiar with your pattern by now. Both parties get defensive. One attacks. The other closes up. Whatever your unique dynamic is, it’s the one thing that you can count on to rip you out of connection with one another. And standing armor to armor makes it really hard to touch.
Fighting about the dishes is almost never just about the dishes, sexual problems are almost never just about sex, and infidelity is almost never just about an affair.
You’re desperate to get back to:
Conflict that creates win-win’s, rather than winding up destructive
Communication that is finds common ground, rather than creates escalation
Feeling like you’re on the same team, rather than alone in your relationship
Supporting one another and building toward shared dreams
Let us help
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.”
- Mignon McLaughlin
We help couples get back in sync using a combination of tools and approaches from EFT, Gottman, and PACT couples therapies.
Together, we’ll create a space outside the stress of work, the kids, and the car payments, where you can finally slow down, understand, and shift the cycle you’re stuck in.
Let us help you communicate better, have conflict better, and even bring your sex life back to "life.”

Common questions about therapy for dating
-
Individual therapy for both partners can be a really impactful way of increasing the effectiveness of couples therapy. We recommend it when possible, however the best strategy for your unique situation can always be discussed with your couples therapist.
-
When doing remote couples therapy, both parties must be based in California. Additionally, couples therapy works best both partners are in the same room.
We understand that from time to time work travel and other commitments may require that you dial into a session separately, but we ask that these be the exception, rather than the norm.
-
We integrate a mix of several couples therapy approaches, including EFT, Gottman, and PACT.
