Online marriage counseling in California for better communication.
Online marriage counseling is for married couples in California who want better communication and understanding. I provide a safe space where you can open up without judgment. You may want to reconnect or address recurring conflicts in your marriage. Sessions are online, from anywhere in California.
Who it's for
Marriage counseling is for married couples looking to improve their marriage. Couples who want to work on the marriage itself are welcome. Couples who are dating, engaged, or wish to focus more broadly on their relationship should look atcouples counseling. We are all made up of different, intersectional identities that shape us, and each of those parts deserves to be nurtured and addressed.
Married couples may come wanting to stop the same argument from coming back, feel close again, make a big decision together, or handle family expectations. I work with individuals from any background, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Other topics could include dividing life at home or a change like a new baby or a move.
What marriage counseling looks like with me
I work with Solution-Focused approaches to address current issues and use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to tackle self-defeating thoughts, doubts, and insecurities. Family and marital therapy are part of my approach. I think that human beings are powerful and insightful, and the solutions are within us. Creating a space for better communication and understanding is central to our work together.
You get out of therapy what you're willing to put in. This is an opportunity for better communication and mutual understanding. Therapy can be life-changing when you find the right fit. It offers a safe space to understand each other more fully and address shared goals.

Marriage Counseling: common questions
Is marital counseling the same as marriage therapy?
People use marital counseling and marriage therapy to mean the same thing: working on your marriage with a licensed therapist. I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) offering these sessions online throughout California. Therapy can be life-changing when you find the right fit. It's an opportunity to deepen understanding in your relationship.
Do we both need to want to be there?
You get out of therapy what you're willing to put in. Both partners should want to participate for progress to be possible. Someone who expects therapy to be a magical solution to their problems isn't the right fit for me.
Can our faith be part of marriage counseling?
Your faith can be part of the sessions if you want it. Faith-integrated sessions draw on spiritual and cultural elements you choose. This approach respects both partners' wishes and beliefs. Faith becomes part of the process only by your request. Please let me know if you wish to include faith elements when you reach out.
How much does marriage counseling cost?
Each 50-minute session costs $200 and is private pay. You can ask for a Good Faith Estimate to help plan expected costs. To start, send me a message through the contact form.
Is marriage counseling online only?
Yes, all sessions are online and available from anywhere in California. There are no in-person sessions. You can join from anywhere you have privacy in California.
