Marriage & Couples Counseling in SLO

Support for Relationships at Every Stage

At Authentic Life Therapy, I work with couples who feel stuck in unhelpful patterns — the kind that leave you feeling discouraged, disconnected, and emotionally exhausted. With the support of a neutral, compassionate therapist, it’s possible to process difficult emotions and shift the dynamic in your relationship.

In our sessions, you may find it easier to express the hard stuff, or gain new perspective by hearing thoughtful feedback that helps you better understand your partner (and yourself). My office, in San Luis Obispo, offers a safe, judgment-free space to explore those deeper conversations that can feel too overwhelming to navigate alone.

How Couples Therapy Can Help

  • Improve communication and reduce misunderstandings

  • Rebuild trust after infidelity or betrayal

  • Navigate conflict with more empathy and clarity

  • Adjust to life transitions, like parenting or career shifts

  • Reconnect emotionally when things feel distant

  • Address sexual disconnect and intimacy concerns

“Therapy is not formulaic, but rather is a process. The process is different for each couple and is largely influenced by the effort made outside of sessions. The experience of interacting differently in session, sometimes with the guidance and help of the therapist, is a key part of the therapeutic process.”
— Emily Weatherby Latta, LMFT
