Love doesn’t have to feel this hard.

Couples Therapy & Marriage Counseling

I work with couples seeking to untangle communication, rebuild emotional safety, and deepen connection.

You might feel…

  • Frustrated that conversations escalate quickly or shut down entirely. “Why is communication this hard for us?”

  • Stuck in a cycle where one of you reaches for closeness, and the other pulls away. “Why do they always do that?”

  • Love for each other, but confusion about the relationship. “Why can’t we just get this to work?”

  • Exhausted from talking about the same issues over and over. “Why can’t we be on the same page about this?”

  • One of us is struggling with the urge to nag and be “too needy.”

  • While the other one is overwhelmed and constantly under pressure

If one or more of the above resonate, welcome; you’ve come to the right place.

Services

Meet Laurel.

I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist in Los Angeles, CA, providing in-person (LA) and virtual (CA) services.

I believe all behaviors make sense when we seek to understand the context in which they were created

I bring my real, human self to this work and will encourage you to do the same as we embark on a journey together where laughter, tears, and being your quirky self are encouraged.

Whether you’re new to therapy or well-versed in this arena, I look forward to learning more about you.
