My style is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented while still practical and grounded. I especially enjoy working with complex trauma, highly self-aware clients, neurodivergent clients, and people who want therapy that goes beyond coping skills alone.


Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding couples therapists in Long Beach starts with naming what you want support with together. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, parenting disagreements, or premarital planning. Since not all therapists have specific couples training, look for a licensed marriage and family therapist or a therapist who lists couples counseling, marriage counseling, the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, or another relationship-focused approach in their bio.
In Long Beach, the right fit also depends on what works for both partners. Some couples prefer an office near home, work, or transit, while others may find virtual appointments easier to fit into two schedules. As you compare Long Beach therapists, look at appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a brief consultation before the first session. Provider bios can also show how a therapist structures couples sessions and what kinds of relationship concerns they often support.
Therapy in Long Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who offer couples counseling and lets you check insurance coverage and estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
