What couples therapy can help with

The same argument

Small disagreements that turn into the same fight, and both of you walking away unheard.

Distance

Parallel lives, surface conversations, missing each other even in the same room.

Two different languages

One of you leads with feelings, the other with logic, and the gap keeps growing.

Feeling like a team again

Building the friendship, trust and passion you both want back.

Gwendolyn Nelson, LMFT · California LMFT 84535 · Oregon MFT T2169

I'm a Bay Area native and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in helping couples heal old wounds, grow together through life's challenges, and reconnect with one another.

I'm an active therapist. I ask questions, point out patterns, and help you get to the root of what brought you in. Past clients have described me as gentle, caring, understanding and unshockable. My work is grounded in the Gottman Method, and I've completed Level 3 training.
