    Therapy for Couples

    For couples ready to do the work.

    Online weekly therapy for California couples who want lasting change — not just better tools.

    Who this is for

    Couples who love each other but feel stuck. Who keep having the same fight. Who have lost touch with closeness, intimacy, or trust — and want to find it again.

    Whether you've been together one year or thirty, what matters here is that both of you are willing to look honestly at what's happening, and to participate in changing it.

    What sessions look like

    We meet weekly online — 50, 75, or 90-minute sessions, depending on what fits. Sessions are a safe container for the conversations that have been hard to have on your own.

    I'll help you slow down the cycles you keep getting stuck in, name what's actually happening underneath, and try out new ways of being with each other — in real time.

    Over time, the patterns shift. The defensiveness softens. You find your way back to each other.

    What we focus on

    Where the work usually lives.

    Communication

    Move past circular fights into conversations that actually land.

    Trust & repair

    Tend to ruptures — small or large — without disappearing the hurt.

    Intimacy

    Reawaken closeness, desire, and the ease of being known.

    Conflict patterns

    Name the cycle you keep falling into and learn to step out of it.

    What clients say
    We came to Fanshen at one of the toughest moments in our marriage, unsure if we would make it another year. Through all of our sessions — love, understanding, forgiveness, and growth flourished.
