Rediscover Your Connection: Couples Therapy in Newport Beach

repair, Reconnect, and Feel Like a Team Again

Let’s rediscover what brought you together — and write a new chapter that feels aligned with where you are today and where you want to go. I offer couples therapy and marriage counseling in Newport Beach and online counseling for couples throughout California, helping partners communicate, rebuild trust, and reconnect.

Even strong relationships hit rough patches.

Are you stuck in the same loop?

You’ve tried to talk things through, but it feels like you’re having the same argument on repeat. Maybe one of you shuts down, the other pushes harder. Maybe you both go at it, determined to be heard and “win.” Or maybe, you both retreat and avoid it all together.

Whatever way it looks, you both end up feeling misunderstood and alone — even while sitting right next to each other.

My couples therapy sessions in Costa Mesa (and online across California) offer a place to slow the cycle down and look beneath the surface. Together, we’ll uncover what these patterns are trying to protect, what values they speak to, and how to reconnect with curiosity and empathy instead of defensiveness.

Common Reasons Couples Reach Out

Communication breakdowns or recurring fights
Feeling more like roommates than partners
Betrayal recovery or trust repair
Parenting and life-stage stress
Intimacy or connection loss
Preparing for major transitions

My Philosophy

As a couple, life takes us in different directions of growth sometimes. Yet, even when the partners’ branches have stretched apart, the roots that connect you often remain strong and alive. Couples therapy can help you rediscover that foundation and learn how to grow side by side again — in ways that feel aligned with who you’ve each become.

How I Work with Couples

Narrative Perspective
We explore the stories shaping your interactions and keeping you stuck—then co-author new ones that invite more hope, curiosity, and compassion through a narrative therapy approach.

Team Focus
You’ll learn practical tools to communicate, repair after conflict, and problem-solve as a team.

Emotion & Insight
We’ll unearth the deeper feelings and needs underneath anger and frustration, so change lasts longer than the next argument and gets you back on track again.

I offer this work in-person in Newport Beach and through Telehealth anywhere in California.
