Love doesn’t have to feel this hard.

Couples therapy and marriage counseling offered in-person (Los Angeles) and virtually (California).

I work with couples who want to untangle communication, rebuild emotional safety, and find their way back to each other, whether you're navigating a rough patch or a longstanding pattern.

You might experience…

  • Conversations that escalate quickly, or shut down before they really start

  • One of you reaching for closeness while the other pulls away, and neither of you quite knowing why

  • Real love, paired with real confusion about why things still feel stuck

  • The same disagreement, again and again, without much relief

  • One partner feeling unheard or "too much," while the other feels stretched thin and overwhelmed

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

Meet Laurel.

I’m an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #147087) based in Los Angeles, offering in-person sessions in LA and virtual sessions throughout California.

I believe all behaviors make sense when we seek to understand the context in which they were created. Including the ones that frustrate you both the most about each other.

I bring my genuine, human self into this work and am dedicated to creating a space where you'll feel comfortable bringing yours too.

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