For couples seeking presence and connection.
Virtual couples therapy in California and Texas
Couples therapy
Patterns repeat until you face what
drives them.
You care deeply about one another and may already understand what tends to go wrong. Even so, the same arguments repeat, closeness gives way to distance, or one of you reaches while the other pulls back. This can be confusing and discouraging, especially when neither of you intends harm.
In these moments, insight and good intentions aren’t enough. The reactions feel automatic. Things escalate, and before you know it, you’ve missed each other again. The connection you want slips out of reach.
In therapy, I pay close attention to the cycles that take hold between you, helping you recognize the patterns that escalate conflict and interrupt them before they pull you further apart.
I work with couples across a wide range of relationship structures, including consensually non-monogamous relationships. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming.
What brings couples to therapy
Couples come to therapy for many reasons. Sometimes it follows a period of strain that hasn’t resolved. Resentment has accumulated. Communication feels tense or guarded. You may sense that your relationship is carrying something unaddressed.
There may be a lingering rupture still sitting between you. A breach of trust, misaligned expectations or boundaries, or repair attempts that never quite landed. Even with love and effort, the relationship hasn’t found its footing again.
A period of transition can bring couples in. Changes in identity, work, health, parenting, intimacy, or desire can impact a relationship faster than either of you can name or adjust to.
Sometimes nothing is “wrong,” and you want to keep it that way. You care about each other and want to protect the connection you’ve built. Therapy can be a place to check in, revisit agreements, and stay meaningfully engaged with one another.
How we’ll work together
Weekly virtual sessions
We begin by tracking how things function between you and what tends to take over. We look at the patterns that shape how you respond to one another, what each of you is trying to protect or preserve, and how those responses affect the dynamic. Sessions focus on creating the conditions for more honesty, connection, and love.
Fee: $250 per session
Who this is for
Couples ready to look closely at what happens between them
Therapy is a space to have the conversations that usually unravel. As you begin to understand what is underneath the argument, the tension eases. Things start to feel steadier because you are meeting each other more directly.
This work is a good fit for couples who value:
• Shared responsibility for the relationship
• Remaining engaged even when things feel difficult
• Making room for complexity and mixed feelings
• Honest curiosity about what shapes conflict
• Repair and accountability over blame
• Emotional honesty with one another
Frequently asked questions
-
There’s no fixed timeline, and it depends on what you’re hoping to work on together. Some couples come for a focused period to address a specific concern or transition. Others stay longer to better understand and shift more ingrained patterns, or to have a consistent space to check in on how the relationship is going.
-
I work with couples across a wide range of relationship structures and agreements, including monogamous and consensually non monogamous relationships. Therapy here supports couples in working with attachment needs, boundaries, and repair in ways that fit the structure of their relationship.
-
That is okay. Partners don’t always arrive with the same level of readiness, urgency, or clarity about what they want, and therapy doesn’t require you to be in the same place to begin. Ambivalence, uncertainty, or skepticism are not obstacles to the work; they’re often part of it.
-
I am out-of-network and don’t bill insurance directly. I provide superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement if your plan includes those benefits. A more detailed explanation of superbills and reimbursement support is available in the FAQ section on the Individual Therapy page.
-
That’s more common than people expect. Sometimes the timing or approach wasn’t right, or the therapeutic fit didn’t allow enough depth for real change to happen. We can talk together about what felt unhelpful or unfinished before, and what you’re hoping might be different now.
