AEDP Therapists in Coronado, CA

It can be tough to navigate life's challenges, but you don't have to go through them alone. Dana is a highly experienced Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who has helped clients from diverse backgrounds deal with a wide range of issues. She understands that anxiety, communication problems, conflicts, infidelity, infertility, and life transitions such as grief, divorce, or career change can be overwhelming and impact your emotional health, relationships, and overall well-being.

My work as a therapist centers on my values of compassion, equity, and empowerment. I practice through an intersectional feminist lens and I provide trauma-informed, affirming, integrative care using AEDP, EFT, EMDR, IFS interventions, and more. I have extensive training working with members of the LGBTQIA+ communities.

If you are looking to connect with yourself and others more deeply and feel confident in the decisions you make in your life, then I’m here to come along side and help you reach those goals. My approach to the therapy process is collaborative so that together we can work to accomplish your goals. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, low mood, past trauma, relationship issues, or a life transition, we can work together to uncover underlying emotions that have been buried by protective mechanisms and navigate the blind spots so that you can gain clarity and calmness in your self and in your relationships.

I'm passionate about helping people explore their stories in creative ways to empower them to live fully and authentically. In therapy, I create a safe and sacred space where people can understand both their power and their pain, heal from the wounds and trauma of their pasts, and move forward in their lives into meaning, freedom and wholeness. I have an active, engaged, personal and empathic style, and I strive to help my clients feel comfortable and known.

As someone who can understand the hardships of life, I hope to provide support for those who experience relationships struggles, familial tension, or support anyone’s individual growth to find empowerment, ease, and stability. I work from a trauma informed, attachment lens, and use Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Processing (AEDP), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Emotionally Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) as foundations for therapy, yet adapt from person to person and honor you as an individual. Something I am dedicated to providing is affordable and accessible support to those struggling with the current financial climate.

I use somatic and brain based experiential methods, such as AEDP, brainspotting, and the therapeutic reconsolidation process to help you finally let go of feelings, behaviors, and limiting beliefs that were developed from past experiences, so you can finally feel better and enjoy the life you want to live. I'll also teach you CBT and DBT skills to cope with the things in your life that you can't change so you can stop suffering over them.

I specialize in working with individuals. I have a particular interest in helping people who are capable of functioning well, but who suffer from depression, anxiety, or relationship issues. I work with individuals who engage in self-defeating patterns who want support negotiating life transitions. I am invested in providing compassionate support for my clients around relationships, job, and family issues. I work with people who are integrating beneficial and challenging psychedelic experiences. I believe therapy is like going to the gym for your mind. Together we will build your resilience to roll with life's ups and downs.

I find myself very honored to be working as a therapist and helping those who have taken the brave and vulnerable step to engage in therapy. As a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I have a special passion for providing affirmative care for those in this community. I additionally love working with couples, families, and those experiencing difficult life transitions such as trauma, grief, and gender transition.

Choosing a therapist can be a daunting task, and I believe that finding that right fit is an essential part of your therapeutic journey. I place great value on the therapeutic relationship and will strive to earn your trust while fostering a relaxed, empathetic and supportive environment. I take a collaborative approach and work at a pace that feels comfortable for you as I appreciate just how challenging this work can be. I have considerable experience in working with military, I specialize in couple therapy using EFT, I'm certified in the model of AEDP and I have experience facilitating DBT, EFT and Codependency groups.

We are an innovative community of unconventional, yet comprehensively trained, psychotherapists providing practical, non-reductive, and in-depth support to help you overcome adversities, resolve outdated patterns, craft more fulfilling relationships, achieve your mental health goals—and address the traumas, stressors, burdens, and conflicts that hold you back from enjoying what your life and relationships have to offer. In general, we foster a holistic and integrative approach to mental health care that focuses on what works and is not limited to what has traditionally been practiced.

What if both mental wellness and mental distress are experiences along a spectrum and this is part of what makes us human? You are not alone as we all travel these experiences that make up our mental health, both in times of flourishing and times of challenge. Reasons for seeking support vary, although daily distress in its subtle or obvious forms can create feelings of anxiety, overwhelm, depletion, or at times a sense of shut down. As our bodies respond to this distress it can result in feeling stuck, disconnected from self, disconnected from satisfying relationships with others, or a sense that things might never change.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the treatment of mood disorders such as depression and anxiety. I also have a special interest in helping families resolve hurt and conflict.

Being diagnosed with a chronic illness &/or acquiring a disability can brings dramatic life change for you and your loved ones. A new prognosis, sudden trauma, congenital health condition, or the gradual onset of a life with imposed limits can bring isolation, overwhelm, & clueless as you seek to figure out how you will navigate your new “normal." Like most people who fall ill or encounter disability, you have no blueprint for how to move forward to recover a meaningful life for yourself.

The journey through infertility and motherhood can be stressful and lonely. It often requires patience, perseverance, but above all HOPE. I want to empower and support you during this journey.

Are you struggling with sustaining a pregnancy? Does your heart feel heavy with grief and sorrow over your loss and are ready for relief?

Are you and your partner finding yourselves entangled in a recurring cycle of blame or withdrawal? Perhaps the challenge lies in expressing vulnerability, fearing it may ignite conflict. Are you yearning to communicate your emotions and needs authentically, or are you navigating the delicate process of rebuilding trust after the trauma of an affair or other relational injury? In my 10-year experience as a Couples Therapist, I have witnessed the excruciating pain that can accompany feelings of abandonment or fear within a romantic partnership.

Hello and Welcome. I have over a decade of practice in individual, adolescent, and couples therapy. I specialize in treating mood or anxiety difficulties, trauma, childhood trauma, relational difficulties, life stressors, or life and identity transitions. My passion is to help you live authentically- experiencing relief, resilience, self-compassion, and increased emotional freedom. We often learn strategies through life to keep us safe, but those strategies may hold us back in our present. It is in our relationships that we learned these strategies; it is through a therapeutic relationship that we re-learn, re-parent, and heal.
