Creating Intimacy

We all long for connection and understanding with our partner, and yet so often the daily challenges of life over the course of time can hinder the intimacy we once had. We can become blind to the reasons we fell in love in the first place!

Happily Ever After

Though many of us grew-up with the belief in "Happily Ever After", what we're not told is that the " ... Ever After" requires continued effort from both partners!

I can help you reclaim that ideal of a lifetime of passion, intimacy and connection through Couples therapy. I provide you with a warm, blame-free culturally sensitive environment, inspiring you to:

  • Raise your self awareness of negative emotional triggers that lead to conflict
  • Learn healthy coping and conflict resolution skills
  • Explore your own, as well as your partner’s, needs for your relationship and how to communicate them to each other
  • Re-establish your passion and intimacy through emotional closeness

Investing In Your Relationship

Couples therapy prepares you and your partner for a lifetime of intimacy, connectedness and passion. I've created a safe environment for you to work through both emotional and physical intimacy issues with your partner or in another significant relationship, the one with yourself. You'll find that the work we do here is time well invested! 

I have a wide range of experience working with myriad relational issues and proudly work with the LGBT community.

Your Next Step for Couples Therapy

I invite you to call me today at (818) 297-4444 to schedule a brief consultation. Whether you're interested in beginning therapy as an individual to work on your relationship or would like to schedule a consultation for both of you at the same time, I believe you'll find couples therapy very beneficial.

I provide individual therapy, couples counseling, and child and family therapy for the greater San Fernando Valley area, including Calabasas, Woodland Hills, Hidden Hills, Bell Canyon, Encino, Tarzana, Agoura, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks and Malibu.
