Marriage counseling that Heals in Livermore, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

I provide couples counseling which can be beneficial whether you are married or in a long term partnership. Therapy can be helpful for all couples to open up communication, gain mutual understanding and have a safe place to be vulnerable.

We want connection- a space to be vulnerable and truly seen. But emotional intimacy is risky, and that scares us, especially with a difficult history! Instead of being vulnerable, we build up walls to protect us. Let's break down the walls and build a loving connection.

Discover profound connection in your marriage. I help couples understand each other, heal individual wounds, and foster a closeness like never before.

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