The Work
Finding your way back to each other
Falling in love is easy. Staying in love, all while feeling safe, playful, and connected, is trickier, and often how people find their way to couples work. Maybe every attempt to bring up something real turns into a fight, or worse, a slow fade into silence.
Relationships are one of the most powerful places we have to grow: learning to soften our defenses, deepen our compassion, and stay open when every instinct says to shut down or strike back. The work itself is the path back to each other.
Training and Approach
What training does our couples therapist bring?
Our couples therapist will help you slow down the patterns that keep tripping you up, understand what is underneath your reactivity and your partner's, and rebuild the kind of emotional and physical connection that made you want to do this in the first place.
He is trained in the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy. The approach is warm, direct, and sometimes challenging, because real change usually is. Most of us were never taught how to tend to our most important relationship, so it makes sense to reach out for help in doing that. Sessions are held in our Laguna Beach office or by telehealth across California.
