Marriage and couples counseling for San Francisco, by video

San Francisco couples tend to be busy, thoughtful, and short on time. Between work, small apartments, and the cost of the city, finding an hour and a private room for counseling isn't always easy. Video sessions solve the scheduling part, and you can join from home or two separate offices.

I work with couples across the city (the Mission, Noe Valley, the Sunset, the Richmond, SoMa, Bernal Heights) and the Peninsula. If you'd rather meet face to face sometimes my office in Los Gatos is an option.

What SF couples often bring

  • Demanding tech or startup careers crowding out the relationship
  • Deciding about kids, moving, or buying a home
  • Different needs for closeness and independence
  • Remote work blurring the line between work time and couple time

The six-session format suits couples who want a clear plan and measurable change.

How it works

We follow Brief Directive Marriage Counseling™, six weekly sessions. We talk about the past once, then keep the focus on what you'll do differently.

It's a focused, six-session approach, and I actively guide you toward change. We know what isn't working. Now we put the changes in place. If you're living in the past, you're not building a future. You're just practicing the problem.

Sessions are by secure video. You both need to be in California during the session, and you can join from the same room or from two places.

Frequently asked questions

Can we meet in person?

Yes, in Los Gatos. Most San Francisco couples choose video, and some mix the two.

We both work from home. Any tips?

Join from a room away from your work setup if you can. It helps the session feel separate from the workday.

What does it cost?

Couples sessions are $350 and individual sessions are $250. Cash-pay; a superbill is available.
