Couples Therapy
Relationships can be one of our greatest sources of joy.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I offer couples therapy sessions for partners in Burlingame and throughout California via secure telehealth. My goal is to create a supportive space where both voices are heard and valued.
I invite you to book a complimentary 2-on-1, 15-minute discovery call with me below!
My Approach
Every couple brings a unique story. I use an integrative style rooted in Humanistic and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners deepen understanding and strengthen connection. I also incorporate:
Attachment-based therapy to address patterns rooted in closeness and security
Interpersonal and Solution-Focused strategies to improve communication and resolve conflict
Positive Psychology techniques to help couples build on strengths and shared values
My role is to guide you in breaking unhelpful cycles, fostering empathy, and creating space for healthier, more fulfilling connection.
Common Concerns Couples Therapy Can Address
Couples therapy can help with challenges such as:
Communication breakdowns and recurring arguments
Marital and pre-marital stress
Parenting differences and family conflict
Infidelity, trust repair, or emotional disconnection
Work-life balance strain
Navigating life transitions together
What You Can Expect in Our Sessions
In our first meeting, each partner will have space to share their perspective and hopes for therapy. I’ll listen closely, highlight patterns, and guide you toward practical tools for better communication, empathy, and connection. Over time, we’ll work on building intimacy, trust, and resilience in your relationship.

Yes. Couples therapy can help identify negative communication patterns, provide tools for conflict resolution, and foster empathy and understanding.
