Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in San Diego, CA
You have found a safe, judgment-free space for kinksters, non-monogamists, swingers, and people with otherwise “alternative” relationship structures, dynamics, and roles to discuss issues of sexuality and identity. As a gay, kinky, queer therapist, I understand the complexities and importance of relationships - both with each other and with ourselves. If you experience disordered eating, we will work together, utilizing the Healthy at Every Size (HAES) approach, to holistically heal and restructure your overall mindset toward food and your physical body. Because bodies of all sizes deserve to be loved and respected.

Therapy may include CBT, ACT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, trauma-informed care, & practical coaching strategies.
From the outside, it may look like you are functioning fine, but internally you feel anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to change them. ADHD, anxiety, relationship stress, trauma, and emotional overwhelm can quietly affect every area of life. Maybe communication keeps breaking down, the same arguments repeat, or you feel like you’ve lost yourself somewhere along the way. You do not need another place to simply vent — you want real change, deeper connection, and a life that feels fulfilling again for yourself and your relationships.
