Couples Therapy
Therapy for moving in, getting engaged and saying I do
You might be wondering if needing support this early is a bad sign. It’s not—it’s actually one of the best things you can do for your relationship. The strongest couples aren’t the ones who never struggle; they’re the ones who know how to work through challenges together. My goal is to make this process feel accessible and worthwhile for the both of you. Using practical, evidence-based practices from the Gottman Method, I help couples communicate more effectively, navigate emotions with confidence, and strengthen their connection. I offer in-person sessions in Santa Barbara and virtual sessions across California.
Invest in your future
Big transitions bring big feelings. Maybe you’re noticing small disagreements turning into recurring conflicts—about where to live, how to handle finances, or how much time to spend with family. Or maybe you’re struggling to balance individuality with building a life together. These moments can feel overwhelming, but they don’t have to create distance.
In couples counseling, we’ll focus on strengthening your relationship, not choosing sides. You’ll learn how to truly hear and understand each other, communicate in a way that brings you closer, and handle disagreements without them turning into disconnects. We’ll build on what already works in your relationship while repairing the parts that feel strained—so you can move into this next stage feeling secure, connected, and confident in your future together.
