Therapy for couples in California
Helping couples to fight better

Relationships can bring out both the best and worst in us.
Sometimes we find ourselves caught in a pattern with our partner in which we don't feel heard and understood. This leads to pain, disconnection, and conflict. I help couples fight better by identifying your strengths and weaknesses, reconnect, communicate efficiently, and creating safe, loving space for each other.

Hi, I'm Hilary.
I became a therapist because I’m deeply curious about people and I’ve done the work to know myself well.
Before this, I was an actress. Performing gave me the space to explore the full range of human emotion and experience, and that curiosity eventually led me to therapy, first as a client, then as a clinician. I loved the process of digging in, making sense of things, and seeing what could shift.
Today, I work with couples who care about each other but are struggling to connect; often stuck in cycles of miscommunication, resentment, and emotional distance.
Maybe you're fighting about the dishes, but it feels like something much deeper is going on. My job is to help you uncover what’s really happening beneath the surface so you can stop repeating the same arguments and start actually hearing each other.
Clients describe me as direct but warm, collaborative, honest, and deeply engaged. I won’t sugarcoat things, but I’ll always meet you with empathy and respect.
I use an integrative, psychodynamic, and relational approach to help you understand your patterns, reconnect with yourself and your partner, and move forward with more clarity and intention. Let’s talk about where you are and where you want to go.
