I know you’re here to understand the investment involved in individual and couples therapy. Seeing rates can naturally bring up questions or hesitation. Before you decide, I invite you to pause for a moment and reflect on what brought you here.

Most couples don’t seek this level of support when things feel easy or settled. You may be here because your relationship feels strained, uncertain, or at a crossroads. I work primarily with couples during these tender, high-stakes moments, when something important needs care, clarity, and attention.

My work often begins where other therapy has reached its limits. Couples are frequently referred to me for more complex dynamics, or they choose to shift from individual therapy into focused relational work. When we work together, the intention is to move toward greater understanding, stability, and connection, whether that leads to meaningful repair or, when necessary, a thoughtful and respectful separation.

I approach this work with care, depth, and intention. Sessions are structured, focused, and responsive to what’s actually happening between you. I don’t rush the process, but I also don’t let couples stay stuck in cycles that quietly cause harm. My role is to help you slow down, see more clearly, and make choices that are aligned with your values and long-term well being.

During consultations, many couples share concerns with me about the cost of therapy while also considering divorce. In California, that comparison is worth reflecting on. Divorce remains common, with roughly 9% of Californians divorced, and the financial cost often reaches $17,000–$20,000 or more, sometimes significantly higher, on complexity. Those numbers don’t account for the emotional toll, stress, or long-term impact on family systems and future relationships.

For many couples, the question isn’t simply about affordability, it’s about timing, discernment, and choosing the level of support that matches the seriousness of the moment. Waiting too long, or working in a setting that isn’t equipped for high-conflict or crisis work, can quietly reduce the options available to you later.

There is a meaningful difference between general couples therapy and specialized, depth-oriented work. This kind of therapy that I offer is an investment in clarity, stability, and the health of your relationship, whatever direction it ultimately takes.

If you’re here, something in you already knows this moment matters. My hope is that you choose support that honors that knowing, and that you feel held, guided, and deeply respected in the process.
