Gay Couples
Gay Couples Counseling in West Hollywood
As a therapist specializing in same-sex relationships, I offer personalized and supportive counseling to help LGBTQ+ partners overcome challenges, enhance communication, improve their sex lives, and strengthen their love. My aim is to create a compassionate environment where you and your partner can address issues, reinforce your connection, and embark on a journey toward growth and mutual understanding.
With extensive experience as both a therapist and supervisor for other therapists working with queer couples, I work from a primarily psychodynamic model while also integrating concrete skills, Restoration Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Non-Violent Communication into counseling. These techniques are adapted to suit the specific needs of LGBTQ+ couples, ensuring that each session resonates with the unique dynamics and experiences of your relationship.

By promoting open dialogue and understanding where are expectations are coming from, we can strengthen the foundation of your partnership and navigate these complexities with confidence.
Managing Conflict & Learning to Communicate
Therapy for Relationship Conflict in West Hollywood
Conflict is a natural part of any relationship but can be particularly challenging for LGBTQ+ couples who may carry the emotional weight of past trauma or discrimination. I specialize in helping partners address the root causes of conflict, identify emotional blockages, and develop strategies to manage disagreements constructively.
Learning how to talk productively about conflict is extremely important. We have to listen to what someone means, not just what they’re saying. Together, we’ll work toward embracing differences while building a stronger, more resilient relationship.
