it’s time to get unstuck.

It wasn’t always like this. Whether it’s arguing, score-keeping, or blame, something is getting in the way of the relationship you want.

When problems take over your relationship, partners start acting like rivals. I help couples find shared agreements and accountability.

Together, you can have tough conversations without keeping score, so you can move forward.

During our sessions we’ll:

  • Understand the cycle driving your conflict

  • Get unstuck using a plan you both believe in

  • Practice conversations that reduce reactivity and invite repair

let’s talk.

The first step is a 15-minute call. It’s a chance for you to understand more about my approach and see whether working together makes sense.

I meet with clients in-person in Costa Mesa, CA, and offer secure video sessions - therapy anywhere in California, and coaching nationwide.

You’ve already taken the first step - let’s write the next chapter together.

50-minute couples sessions are $190. In-network with Aetna and Optum. Superbills are available for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. Sliding-scale options available.

I’m Danny Livingston, an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist with a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. My approach is conversational, collaborative, and rooted in Narrative Therapy, to help you get distance from your problems and uncover new possibilities. I look forward to connecting with you.

Maybe there’s more to education than if it “pays off.”
Meaning today comes in infinite varieties - does that make it harder to actually experience?
“Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.”From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says, “Disarm, disarm! The sword is not the balance of justice.” Blood does not wipe out dishonor nor violence indicate possession.” - Julia Ward Howe, Mother’s Day Proclamation (1872)
