Marriage & Couples Counseling
In Santa Monica

Sometimes love needs space to breathe, speak, and be heard again

​Marriage & Couples Counseling in Santa Monica

Reconnecting Through Kindness,
Understanding, and Respect

All relationships need tending, especially during times of transition, stress, or emotional distance. Maybe you're finding it harder to connect, or small issues have started to grow into something heavier. You may still care deeply for each other—but the closeness feels harder to reach.

As a marriage therapist in Santa Monica, I work with couples of all ages and stages who want to improve how they communicate, rebuild trust, and feel more emotionally safe together. Therapy isn’t about blame—it’s about creating a quiet, thoughtful space to listen more deeply and grow together again.

Why Couples Seek Therapy

Every couple has their own story. Some are navigating change, others are recovering from past hurt, and many are simply trying to understand each other better. Therapy provides support and tools for connection—not only in moments of struggle, but also as a way to strengthen your bond.

Couples come to therapy for many reasons, including:

2.

Trust issues that haven’t been resolved

3.

Feeling emotionally distant or disconnected

4.

A decline in physical or emotional intimacy

5.

Feeling like you’re stuck in repetitive patterns

In our work, I offer a calm, safe place to reflect—together—on what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s possible.

A Personalized Approach to Couples Therapy

As a marriage and family therapist in Santa Monica, I don’t follow a one-size-fits-all model. Each couple brings something different to the room—history, hopes, habits, and emotional needs. With more than 40 years of experience, I tailor every session with warmth and care to meet you where you are.

Together, we might focus on:

  • Strengthening how you communicate and listen

  • Understanding what each of you truly needs

  • Rebuilding trust after hurt, silence, or betrayal

  • Improving intimacy, both emotional and physical

  • Making space for each partner’s voice and experience

  • Exploring shared meaning, direction, and values

 

The goal isn’t perfection—it’s connection. Therapy helps couples feel less alone in what they’re going through and more empowered to move forward together.

“The moments that feel the hardest to talk about are often the ones that bring us closest when we do.”

Take the First Step Toward Healing

If you’re looking for couples therapy in Santa Monica, I invite you to reach out. Whether you're working through challenges or simply want to deepen your connection, therapy can be a quiet, caring place to begin again.

I offer both in-person therapy and virtual sessions for your convenience. It’s never too early—or too late—to start having better conversations and building a stronger bond.
