Couples Therapy in Los Angeles
Build a relationship that can hold real life.
Couples and Premarital Therapy in Los Angeles
Specializing in multicultural partnerships, families with children, blended families, and creative lifestyles
Relationships can look solid on the outside while feeling disconnected underneath.
Conversations led to arguments.
You feel like roommates instead of sexual partners.
And trust is a constant negotiation or never-ending benchmark you can't quite met
Something feels off - and you don't know how to get back to "how we use to be."
Whatever brings you here, welcome.
“Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field.
I’ll meet you there.” - Rumi
A More Thoughtful Approach
To Couples Therapy
My Work Focuses On What Actually Allows A Relationship To Hold Over Time
Building a relationship, and a life together, takes more than love.
In a place like Los Angeles, where so much is competing for your attention,
it's easy for connection to get lost in the middle of everything else.
Most people were never taught how to be in a committed relationship.
How much do you give?
What should you expect?
Where do you compromise - and what actually matters?
Even when you you've found love, it can be difficult to know how to sustain it.
Our work focuses on the foundations that allow a relationship to hold over time:
Choosing well
Understanding how you relate
Build a relationship that functions as a living system -
Steady enough to hold real life, flexible enough to adapt, and connected enough that you don't lose each other within it.
This isn't just about communication tools.
It's about how the two of you structure your relationship so it can withstand
pressure, growth, differences, and the realities of life.
The quality of your marriage shapes everything else.
It's worth understanding.

Testimonials
I came to Randé based on the recommendation of a trusted friend.
My partnership which is the most important thing in my life and the greatest gift this lifetime has ever given me was hanging on by a thread. I had used all the tools that I knew how to use and was still coming up short.
I had never worked with a therapist and was highly skeptical because I thought Randé would automatically side with my wife as I thought I was the one creating the problems in our partnership.
Into the waters we waded and Randé was there every step of the way with intimate listening, reflection and understanding. She was instrumental in helping us navigate into the death of our old relationship so that we could be born again.
Anytime anyone is looking for help I am so quick to not only recommend therapy but one person specifically and that person is Randé. Thank you Randé for everything and for all of the cosmic ripples you helped me clean up in my life.
