A Couples Therapist in Orange County, CA here to give you the tools, information, and support you need to thrive in your relationship and your life.

So you’ve realized that your relationship needs some professional help.
That’s not Always an easy realization to come to.
Here’s a quick checklist to see if you’re in the right place:
You’re on the brink of divorce and feel ambivalent about where to go next with your marriage.
You or your partner recently revealed an affair and it’s led to a deep divide in your relationship.
You want to learn better communication skills as you transition to marriage, parenthood, or another big life change.
You’re specifically looking for a therapist trained in Relationship Theory Model (RTM).
You’re seeking a premarital counseling experience that truly sets you up for a top 20% marriage (Note: 80% of marriages either end up in divorce OR are stable but unhappy).
You want a therapist who is culturally-responsive and welcoming to each of your identities, perspectives, and experiences.
You want a therapist who is married and both understands the challenges of marriage and also feels confident in navigating them.
You want a therapist who is a parent and understands the impact of parenthood on a marriage.
If you responded yes to any of the items above, I might be the right couples therapist for you.
