Ninety seconds with me

The pattern most couples get caught in, and what changes when you stop arguing about who started it.

Tired of having the same fight?

You try to talk about something important, and somehow it turns into the same argument again.

One of you pushes for answers. The other shuts down, gets defensive, or walks away.

You end up feeling alone, misunderstood, blamed, or frustrated, wondering why you should even start talking if it’s just going to explode anyway.

You may still love each other. You may still want this to work. But lately the moments of fun, ease, and closeness feel fewer, and the tension feels harder to ignore.

Start here: free call

In our free 25-minute call, we’ll slow things down, talk through what’s been happening between you, and decide together whether I’m the right person to support your relationship.

Imagine if…

Imagine having a hard conversation, and it stays a conversation.

Imagine feeling heard without having to beg or explain.

Imagine repairing after a fight, and coming out of it closer.

Imagine feeling like partners again, with more fun, warmth, and affection.

A different way of reaching for each other.

Find your way back to each other.

The pattern is the problem.

Most couples get stuck because the same protective patterns take over before either of you realizes it.

One partner pushes harder, feeling alone or scared of losing the connection. The other shuts down, feeling criticized, or like nothing they say will be right. Both of you end up protecting something tender, instead of reaching for each other.

Together, we slow the cycle down and work on:

  • Speaking from feelings and needs, instead of blame
  • Listening with more curiosity and less defense
  • Understanding emotional triggers
  • Repairing after conflict
  • Rebuilding safety, trust, closeness and intimacy
  • Staying connected during hard conversations

Hi, I’m Einat (pronounced “A-not”)

I help couples slow down painful patterns, understand what’s happening underneath the conflict, and build new ways of talking with more honesty, care and emotional safety.

My style is direct and compassionate. I’ll name what I see, while protecting the dignity of both of you. This work can go deep, and there’s still room for relief, laughter, tenderness, and hope.

If part of you is thinking, “Maybe later…”

It makes sense to wait when things feel confusing. Maybe you’re hoping the next conversation, the next weekend, or the next fresh start will feel different.

But if the same pattern keeps coming back, waiting can quietly become its own kind of pain.

Imagine six months from now, still asking, “Are we going to be okay?”

Now imagine using that time to understand what’s happening, practice something different, and build more honesty, repair, and connection.

Whether you work with me or someone else, you don’t have to keep doing this alone.

Before you call

Will you take sides?

No. My job isn't to decide who's right. It's to help you understand the cycle between you, what each of you is feeling underneath the reactions, and how to respond differently.

We've already tried talking about it

Most couples I see have. Talking, reading, explaining, avoiding, starting over. The difference here is that we slow the pattern down in the room, with someone actively helping, instead of hoping the next conversation goes better on its own.

Is this a good fit?

Probably, if you still care about the relationship and you want more than less fighting: connection, repair, honesty, intimacy, and a clearer sense of where this is going. It may not be the right fit if there's active abuse, active addiction, an ongoing affair, or if one of you already knows they don't want to stay. In those situations we'd talk first about what kind of support makes sense.

What does it cost?

$250 for 50 minutes, $350 for 80 minutes, the same as individual sessions. Most couples choose the 80 minutes, and I'd suggest starting there. The first consultation is free. I keep a limited number of sliding-scale places.

In person or online?

Both. In person in Calabasas, and securely over Zoom throughout California.

What if my partner does not want to come?

Start on your own. A lot of couples work begins with one person, and plenty of partners come in later once it stops feeling like being summoned to a trial. Even on your own, you can change your side of the cycle, and that alone shifts things at home.

Do we both have to be in California?

For therapy, yes. California licensure requires you to be physically in California during sessions. If one of you travels often we can plan around it.

Can we do longer sessions instead of weekly?

Often, yes. Some couples do better with 80-minute sessions, or with a tighter run of sessions during a hard stretch. We can shape it around your lives rather than a fixed weekly slot.

What does couples therapy cost?

$250 for 50 minutes, $350 for 80 minutes. The first 25-minute consultation is free. A limited number of sliding-scale places are available. Most couples choose the 80-minute session.

Support can start with one honest conversation

You don't need to have the answers before reaching out. Twenty-five minutes, free, and we start from where you are.
