You are parents that would work best with me if you are:

  • Ready and willing to change your patterns of fighting, getting stuck, avoiding until it blows up again.

  • Committed to the relationship and want it to be loving, kind, and respectful.

  • Primed to leave the “tit-for-tat” mentality at the door and stop keeping score.

  • Invested in finding a compromise, without giving up a piece of yourselves or be the only one doing the bending.

  • Favor relationship counseling treatment that is based in research and science.

  • Accepting that this will be hard work and know there is not an overnight fix.

  • Eager to find the joy and humor in your relationship again.

  • Dedicated to creating a healthier environment for their child(ren) that shows them what a loving relationship looks like.

  • Looking for in person couples counseling in Murrieta or virtual couples therapy in California.

So, how does it work?

  • You and your relationships are unique. I believe it is important to make sure everyone feels comfortable to do the hard work. That's why I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation for all of us to feel out if this is a good fit before we really get started in couples therapy.

  • Find what is going to work for your needs. Do you and your partner do better in smaller chunks over a longer period of time? Or do you and your partner have a lot to say and love to talk? Parents are busy and this is couples therapy for parents, after all. Here are options:

    • 45 minutes for $160 per

    • 75 minutes for $240 per

  • I have zero interest in keeping you in therapy longer than you need to be. If you want to be in couples therapy for the rest of your days, I will not be a good fit. I aim for you and your partner to be able to address your needs now with skills you can use, on your own, for the future. My dream is to be out of a job because you are out there killing it with your partner living your best family life!

  • You and your partner have different thought processes and perspectives. You are struggling to bridge that gap. That's where we will be doing the work. To help that, I believe it is key to have a clear assessment phase (1-3 sessions) that help me understand all sides. Then we'll utilize your strengths as a couple to heal the areas that need work. On average, couples see me weekly or biweekly for 4-6 months.

  • You are your own experts on what is going on in your relationship. This is your treatment so you should absolutely get a say in your goals. Once the assessment portion is completed, I'll present my findings and you get to let me know if it fits you or what needs to change so it is exactly what you are hoping to address. Your goals will help us stay on track and focused on what brings you in and to know when treatment is completed.

  • When you come into the room, you can rest assured that it will be free from judgment. Your confidence and your safety are a priority. This will be a place of curiosity and kindness. It will not be an environment to skirt around the issue. I will compassionately call you out and challenge you to reach for greatness.
