Is your relationship not what it used to be?

When you pictured your life together, you imagined joy, commitment, and connection.

Now, maybe you feel…

…disconnected from your partner
…stuck in unhealthy cycles
…like different people than when you first met
…like you’re walking on eggshells
…like it’s always a battle
…more like a roommate than a partner
…as though you can’t rebuild trust
…like you’ve grown apart
…unsure whether you’re still a match
Whatever you’re feeling, we’re here to support your relationship through it.

Through couples and relationship therapy in West Los Angeles and virtually in California, New York, Florida, and Vermont, we help partners break unhealthy cycles of communication and connection and learn new ways of engaging in healthy conflict, finding emotional intimacy, achieving mutual respect, and building safety in the relationship.

How We Work With Couples and Relationships

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Drawing primarily from research on attachment theory, EFT is a couples therapy approach that emphasizes identifying interaction patterns that create distress within the relationship. As EFT therapists, we’ll observe and explore these patterns with you and help you reduce emotional reactivity. We’ll help you express your underlying emotions, ask for your needs to be met, and practice responsiveness in order to create, restore, or strengthen your sense of security within the partnership.

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

DBT is a skill-based modality that has been adapted for couples, including those considered high-conflict. Using DBT-informed couples therapy, we’ll help you understand the role of emotions in relationships (and communicate yours accurately), identify and share your relationship triggers, commit to stop making things in your relationship worse, build acceptance of yourself and your partner, become more present with each other, and create a lasting toolkit of skills to take with you on your relationship journey.

Gottman Method


The Gottman Method is an approach to couples therapy that prioritizes communication, empathy, and respect. We’ll help you learn how to turn toward — rather than away from — your partner, create shared meaning and values within the relationship, nurture admiration for one another, problem solve more effectively, and accept relationship problems that can’t be solved.
