Silicon Valley Couples Therapy

I’ve been providing couples therapy in Silicon Valley since I started my private practice in 2011. That’s 15 years of serving clients at the intersection of technology and their relationships. Silicon Valley couples therapy clients love it when I draw flowcharts or diagrams to explain the emotional processes in their relationship. Clients in this area also often want to know that I’m not trying to do therapy forever. I listen to your goals, create a treatment plan, and describe how many sessions I think it will take to accomplish them. This structured approach takes the guesswork out of couples therapy. Here are some other common needs for clients in this area.

Help Hacking Your Relationship

I’ve helped clients navigate long-distance relationships, nonmonogamy, multigenerational households, multicultural relationships and child raising, and many other outside-of-the-box ways of doing relationships, love, and sex.

Balancing Relationship When Work Demands Are High

From start-up culture to AI-fueled tech disruptions, you need to stay focused to stay on the cutting edge in this area. Silicon Valley couples therapy often helps clients optimize time together so they can go back to leaving their dent in the universe at work.

Communicating Across Different Neurotypes

This is probably the most common issue I serve in Silicon Valley couples therapy. When a couple’s members think and experience the world differently, you need a translator who can speak both languages. That’s my specialty. I’m deeply emotionally attuned, and I also get the practical and concrete thinking styles common among the most innovative engineers.

For example, emotionally sensitive partners love how I help them get their connection needs met (sometimes by emphasizing friends and community). The engineers like that I can explain to them the complex input-output systems going on inside their partners so they can understand and fix the problems.

Silicon Valley has a unique culture and combination of cultures. So, Silicon Valley couples therapy needs to be informed by experience. I specialize in relationship and sexual issues, and I’ve been serving clients in this area since I began. So, I have experience identifying and fixing exactly these kinds of challenges.
