Couples sessions are scheduled for 110 to 150 minutes at a cost of $187 to $255. That is the same cost per minute as my 50-minute individual therapy sessions.

I love working with couples and my approach is very active and experiential, where you’ll learn it AND do it, not just talk about it. Sessions tend to be intensive and run longer, typically 110 to 150 minutes. This longer session time does result in a higher session cost, but, to offset that, you may schedule sessions less frequently or for a smaller number of sessions than you otherwise might. After learning about yourself, your partner, the dynamics between you, and becoming secure functioning together, you may leave therapy for years and only come back periodically over the years, as needed.

I work from a psychobiological perspective to move relationships toward secure functioning. Secure functioning means the couple is fully collaborative and fair, and invests in the security, success, and happiness of the relationship. As you can imagine, this has big implications for the couple’s ability to manage threat and conflict, create a healthy environment for children, further their personal development, prepare for the future, and improve the excitement and love in the relationship. I help all kinds of couples in all kinds of situations, such as: premarital counseling, cheating/betrayal, big decisions/life transitions, polyamory/open relationships, deciding whether to break up, or simply wanting to learn how to be happier and better together. The interventions and the frame from which I operate is primarily informed by attachment theory, the biology of human arousal, and neuroscience. This helps the couples and I understand what is happening on the micro and often unspoken level (in them, in their partner, and in each other) and intervene in that in real time.
