Meet Dr. Ludin

I provide evidence-based couples therapy for partners in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and across the Bay Area. My work focuses on helping couples address relational conflict, intimacy challenges, and life transitions using structured, clinically grounded approaches. Sessions are offered via telehealth throughout California.

Get Started with Therapy

Reasons Couples Seek Therapy

  • Ongoing conflict or communication breakdowns

  • Feeling stuck in recurring arguments or patterns

  • Loss of intimacy or sexual disconnection

  • Struggles around parenting, co-parenting, or family boundaries

  • Navigating major life transitions (new parenthood, career changes, illness, relocation)

  • Rebuilding trust after ruptures or breaches

My Approach to Couples Therapy

Couples therapy typically begins with an assessment phase to understand relational patterns, areas of distress, and existing strengths. My approach is grounded in attachment science, systems theory, and empirically supported models of couples and family therapy. I work actively and collaboratively, with an emphasis on clarity, structure, and helping couples move out of entrenched dynamics rather than remaining in open-ended process.

Who This Work is For…

I work with couples who are motivated to understand their relational patterns and engage in meaningful change. This includes couples navigating long-standing conflict, intimacy challenges, parenting stress, and complex life transitions. My practice is a good fit for those seeking a thoughtful, evidence-based approach rather than quick fixes or purely supportive counseling.
