The Best Marriage Counseling in 95134: San Jose, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

In couples therapy, I create a safe space for partners to build a deep and lasting transformation with improved communication, mutual empathy, and a renewed (or new) intimacy.

I believe who we are, how we regard ourselves & others, & how we view the world comes from our earliest relationships and experiences. Understanding the impact of these, & how it shows up today, allows the ability to change & heal within.

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help couples identify parts that are interacting within a relationship, developing a better understanding of themselves and their relationship patterns.

Relationships have become increasing difficult in these stressful times. Couples often require support and a neutral place to identify and work through their issues. I help couples to focus on the positives and manage the conflicts while building friendship and trust.

A good marriage can be better than healthy, it can be incredible, loving, even passionate. You may remember such a time, and worry that it is only in the past. Therapy will reach the heart of the issues and begin the process of restoration. Let's get started.

Many couples who are experiencing high conflict in their relationship find my approach helpful. I am sensitive to the possibility that one partner is sometimes less familiar or comfortable with psychotherapy and strive to foster a safe and compassionate environment.
