Marriage counseling that Heals in La Crescenta, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

My areas of focus are trauma and play therapy. I use a mind/body approach to treating trauma and the associated symptoms. Play therapy uses the language of play to resolve issues and find solutions.

We work specifically with women dealing with childhood abuse, incest/rape crisis, trauma, & LGBTQ issues. EMDR, Sensorimotor, sandplay, art, TAT and much more! We also offer services to couples, men's issues, teens & children. We are board certified EXPERTS with trauma!

Relationships evolve, and sometimes expectations shift, communication breaks down, and things feel unbalanced. As a therapist, I help you and your partner be heard, rebuild mutual respect, and guide you back to the love and connection you once shared

A healthy marriage takes work. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. Let's get started.

Couples usually get stuck not because of what they know, but what they cannot see. Unhealthy patterns of relating become established and difficult to change. I help couples identify these patterns and create new ones that make room for your relationship to grow.

- Wanting to stay together, but your marriage is rocky? - Communication problems or behavior problems disrupting your marriage? - Planning on divorcing and wanting it to be less stressful? Difficulty dealing with ex-spouse? HELP WITH ALL YOUR RELATIONSHIP ISSUES

I believe we are relational by nature, and often, our "individual" problems stem from interpersonal difficulties. Couples and/or family therapy can help you find healthier and more meaningful ways of relating to the people closest to you.

Rooted in attachment, neurobiology, and client-centered work, I use experiential methods to help those who feel disconnected from others and themselves find the link playfully back to being in relationship. I specialize in grief, trauma, LGBT folks, and creatives.

Couples, Families and Relationships: Whether anxiety, depression, past traumas or failed relationships are currently making you or your relationship feel stuck, together we can safely work through long-standing struggles with effective and safe approaches.

I currently work with individuals navigating relationship challenges but do not offer couples or marriage counseling at this time.

My couples work is grounded in psychodynamic and attachment-based methods: we identify the emotional cycle driving your conflict and change it at its source. This is what produces durable improvement in trust, communication, and intimacy. Online sessions available.

Fighting with a loved one is exhausting -- often based on misconceptions, blame, defensiveness. I can provide you with skills to communicate safely while managing intense emotions and gently explore with you underlying issues in order to promote compassion/resolution.
