Marriage Counseling
In Berkeley CA
Every couple has their own language. Therapy helps you remember how to speak it—and how to listen.
Thoughtful Approach to Rebuilding Relationships
Relationships are not always easy—and they’re not supposed to be. Life moves quickly. Expectations shift. Stress builds. Emotional and physical intimacy can fade slowly or suddenly, and many couples are left wondering how to get back what once felt so natural.
As a family therapist in Berkeley, CA, I work with couples of all ages and backgrounds—those navigating quiet distance, unresolved tension, or major life changes. Whether you’re curious about what to expect from marriage counseling, or exploring how to rekindle intimacy, I provide a gentle, grounded space for deeper understanding and connection.
Why Couples Seek Therapy
Therapy can be a turning point—not because something is broken, but because something important is asking to be seen and heard.
Couples often come to therapy when they’re facing:
1.
Ongoing relationship issues that feel too familiar and unresolved
2.
Difficulty expressing thoughts and feelings without defensiveness
3.
Communication patterns that feel reactive or hurtful
4.
Emotional disconnection or the sense of “growing apart”
5.
A desire to reflect on how to be a better partner, especially during transitions
Therapy offers a safe space for both people to pause, reflect, and explore how they truly feel—without fear of being blamed or shut down.

What to Expect from Marriage Counseling
Couples therapy isn’t about judgment or quick fixes. It’s about slowing down, building emotional safety, and working together toward something stronger. With over four decades of experience as a couples therapist, I tailor each counseling session to the real concerns and goals you bring into the room.
During our work together, we may focus on:
-
Improving active listening and reducing reactive communication
-
Understanding each other’s emotional worlds with more clarity and care
-
Exploring your sex life and physical intimacy in honest, respectful ways
-
Navigating conflict without harming the bond between you
-
Creating space for both structure and spontaneity in your connection
-
Supporting your mental health as individuals and as a couple
-
Honoring your shared values and building a deeper emotional connection
If you’ve been wondering whether couples therapy can help, the answer is yes, especially when you approach it with honesty, openness, and a willingness to grow.
“Being a good partner isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about staying curious, even when it’s hard.”
