Virtual Couples Therapy in California
“Love is a constant process of tuning in, connecting, missing, and misreading cues, disconnecting, repairing and finding deeper connection. It is a dance of meeting and parting and finding each other again.”
- Dr. Sue Johnson
Virtual Couples Therapy in CA
Most couples do not come to therapy because they do not love each other.
They come because they feel disconnected.
Communication feels harder than it used to. Small things turn into big arguments. One or both of you feels unheard. You miss the closeness you used to have, but you cannot seem to get back to it.
Often, the woman in the relationship has been carrying the emotional load. She is the one thinking about what needs to change. She is the one trying to talk things through. She is tired of feeling like she is doing it alone.
Couples therapy is a space to rebuild connection, strengthen communication, and feel like a team again.
Couples therapy can support you if:
You keep having the same argument on repeat
Communication turns into defensiveness or shutdown
You feel distant, disconnected, or more like roommates
You miss playfulness, affection, and emotional intimacy
You are struggling with resentment or emotional disconnection
You want tools to communicate better and feel understood
Many couples are not looking for someone to take sides. They are looking for a therapist who can help them actually shift the dynamic and give them tools that work in real life.
That is exactly what we focus on.
What Couples Therapy Can Help With
All couples sessions are offered virtually through a secure telehealth platform called, Jane.
Virtual couples therapy allows you to show up consistently without the added stress of travel, scheduling around work, or coordinating childcare. It also makes it possible to receive high quality relationship support even if you live in a more rural area.
To participate in couples therapy, both partners must be physically located in California during sessions.
What Virtual Couples Therapy Looks Like
My approach is relational, emotionally focused, and grounded in attachment based therapy.
That means we will not just focus on communication techniques, although you will absolutely gain practical tools. We will also focus on what is happening underneath the conflict.
Most couples are not fighting about what they think they are fighting about.
Under the surface, there is often a deeper pattern happening. One partner pursues and the other shuts down. One feels alone and the other feels like they cannot do anything right. Both partners end up feeling misunderstood.
In therapy, we slow the cycle down, name what is happening, and help you build new ways of responding to each other with more clarity, safety, and connection.
My Approach to Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is structured, supportive, and collaborative.
You can expect:
A safe space where both partners feel heard
Support understanding each other’s emotional needs
Tools for communication that actually work at home
Guidance for rebuilding trust and connection
Help shifting patterns that have been damaging your relationship
My goal is to help you walk away with both emotional insight and practical skills you can use immediately.
