Couples Counseling in Los Angeles

A supportive space to rebuild connection, strengthen communication, and rediscover one another.

Relationships naturally move through cycles of closeness, distance, conflict, and repair. Even the strongest partnerships encounter moments where communication feels strained, disconnection grows, or old patterns begin to resurface. Many couples feel overwhelmed when frustration builds, conversations repeat, or emotional intimacy begins to fade. Others simply feel “off” and want to reconnect before patterns deepen.

Whether you’re facing conflict, emotional distance, stress around major life transitions, difficulty communicating, or general uncertainty about your relationship’s direction, couples counseling offers a grounded, compassionate place to slow down, understand one another, and rebuild connection.

Felicia’s approach centers on curiosity, clarity, and creating the space for both partners to feel seen, heard, and understood.
