Marriage & Couples Counseling
in Playa del Rey

When we find ourselves emotionally far from the one we love, the softest step forward can mean everything.

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here

If you’ve found your way to this page, something in your relationship may be aching—maybe loudly, maybe just beneath the surface. Whether you’re feeling misunderstood, growing distant from your partner, or simply yearning for more connection, I want you to know this: you are not alone, and there is hope.

I’ve spent over four decades walking beside couples as they gently rediscover their bond. My office in Playa del Rey, CA is a quiet place where your story matters, and where both of you can feel safe to speak, to feel, and to listen again.

What I Often Hear from Couples

You don’t need a dramatic crisis to seek help. Many couples come to me because something feels… off.

1.

“We don’t talk like we used to.”

2.

“The smallest things turn into distance.”

3.

“I’m carrying stress, anxiety, or sadness—and I don’t know how to share it.”

4.

“We’re here, but not really together.”

These moments, as quiet or confusing as they may feel, are invitations. They’re openings. And with kindness and care, they can lead to deep healing.

How I Work with Couples

I don’t believe in forcing solutions or assigning blame. Instead, I listen closely. I help you hear each other—not just the words, but the feelings underneath them.

Our sessions together will feel thoughtful, gentle, and grounded in honesty. I draw from many years of experience, but more than anything, I try to create a space where it’s okay to be vulnerable.

Together, we’ll explore:

  • What your pain is really trying to say

  • The patterns that keep you from truly connecting

  • Small, tender ways to restore safety and trust

  • How to listen from the heart, not just the ears

  • How your mental health—stress, anxiety, sadness—may be quietly shaping your dynamic

 

Every session is rooted in empathy. I simply hold space for your truth to emerge, with compassion.

“Love doesn’t disappear—it gets buried under fear, silence, and stress. We just need the courage to uncover it, softly.”

If You’re Considering Counseling...

Reaching out can feel vulnerable. But it’s also a sign of hope, strength, and deep care for your relationship. If something here resonates, I’d be honored to walk with you.
