Couples Counseling Therapists in San Diego, CA

Welcome! I am passionate about my work and take great pride in the therapeutic relationships I have built overtime with my clients, which is why I believe in tailoring counseling to each individuals unique needs. Therapy is most effective when a trusting relationship exists between a counselor & the client. Some relationships hurt us while others are meant to heal. I believe that my job isn't to tell you what to do or how you live your life but to provide a safe, trusting environment where you express yourself & have an experience of being listened to without judgment & together we come up with creative solutions.

Deciding to go to therapy can be challenging. The idea of having to open up to a stranger can be scary but I hope I can ease some of those fears by providing a safe space. From a culturally sensitive lens, I work collaboratively with all my clients to build an authentic relationship . I believe that we get hurt in relationships but also heal in relationships. I help my client understand how their past relationships have impacted them and contribute to their suffering. My goal is to help clients build better relationships with themselves and others.

Do you struggle with emotion regulation, relationship problems, body image, negative thoughts? Unprocessed trauma causes a lot of pain and can be confusing to navigate. It colors every aspect of our lives. I specialize in treating disordered eating, eating disorders, body image, anxiety and other women's health issues.

Starting and staying in therapy can be intimidating! It doesn’t have to be that way. I enjoy using humor and just being a fellow human with my clients while we navigate the path of mental health together. Having a session with me is like talking to an old friend. I strongly believe that the connection between the therapist and yourself is the most crucial aspect of a successful therapeutic relationship .

Are you a LGBTQIA+ person or relationship that's been struggling to find a therapist who understands your identities? Perhaps you don't feel understood or how your various identities intersect. In me, you can find a queer and nonbinary therapist who can connect with you through shared identities and lived experiences. I can help you to speak to your experiences freely and guide you to understanding how your identities and mental health intersect. With my culturally sensitive, client-forward methods, I can help you explore and clarify values and meaning in your life and chart a way towards growth.

Your decision to seek psychotherapy provides a unique opportunity to process the challenges you are currently experiencing, identify your values, and develop the skills needed to reach your goals. I enjoy working with adults, couples , and families. I strive to provide quality treatment in a warm, collaborative setting.

Clients who seek me out for therapy often identify with historically underrepresented groups such as Black, Indigenous, people of transnational-immigrant diaspora, LGBTQIA+ individuals/ couples /CNM configurations, sex workers, and more. My therapy services include but are not limited to supporting individuals/ couples /CNM configurations navigating life transitions, processing trauma to release the influence of the past on the present, as well as finding/developing their emotional balance. I have experience working with Consensually Nonmonogamous Configurations as well as Kinky populations in regard to my relational work.

People often turn to therapy when feeling overwhelmed in their daily lives. I offer 20+ years in helping to navigate through these challenging experiences. With a direct and gentle approach and a bit of humor, we can address your concerns and worries. For some, this may mean addressing current stressors. For others, exploring earlier relationships will lead to understanding how patterns have developed.

Your primary and most important relationship is really with yourself. How you handle your own emotions, thoughts, frustrations, worries, expectations, and self-perceptions is critical to your sense of self—including your happiness, peace and balance. Relationship between self and others is important to many, but for all of us, the most important relationship of all, throughout our lives, is (and will be) the one we hold with ourselves. And once you gain improved confidence in your ability to manage your own emotions; the possibilities for improving your relationships with others at home, work and socially will improve and benefit.

When having sex, do you have any of these thoughts: "Do I look sexy? I don't feel sexy. Do I smell? Is my partner bored? Am I bored? Am I doing it right? What if I can't get hard or wet?" If so, you're not alone and therapy can help. Most people want to better enjoy sex. Many need help navigating insecurities, shame, and beliefs about their worthiness of pleasure. I help individuals and couples with sexual performance anxieties, desire discrepancies, porn and/or substance use, kink exploration, non-monogamy, and communication difficulties. I also help straight-identified men understand and appreciate their attraction to trans women.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I work with adults providing both individual and couples therapy, in addition to the military and their family members. I have extensive training in treating anxiety, depression, marital/ relationship issues, addiction, eating disorders, grief and loss, and trauma. I also provide therapy for those making stressful life transitions, seeking a more balanced lifestyle, perfectionistic tendencies, self-confidence, and greater self-awareness. Together, we can examine how your thoughts and emotions are impacting your daily life in either helpful or unhelpful ways.

Are you seeking support in moving through a life or relational challenge? Sometimes we all need support in finding creative solutions or building strong relationships. As a couple and family therapist, I have a strong conviction in the healing power of healthy relationships.  Connecting to your authentic self and fostering wellness in all relationships in your life is a primary focus of my work.  I provide individual, couple and family psychotherapy for youth and adults of all family and relationship constellations, and I create a supportive space in which to explore gender, sexuality, sexual expression and relationship styles.

Have you been struggling with waking up and having no energy? Have you noticed you stopped doing the things you used to enjoy and started isolating at home instead? Have you been feeling sadness for the past few months? If you have been experiencing these or other symptoms due to a recent life transition, or relationship problems, I encourage you to utilize this safe environment to process these feelings.

Let’s be honest. Being stuck in anxiety, fear, depression, and despair is very discouraging and frustrating. It feels awful, it limits you, makes you feel hopeless, and just creates suffering and conflict in your life. So, what can we do about it? We can ignore it and hope it goes away, read a bunch of self-help books, or maybe try that 5-step plan to happiness we read about late last night. Some of these things might work but sometimes we just need help from a caring therapist who really understands you and can help guide you to a healthier and happier you. I would be honored to help you live the life you've always imagined.

Therapy can be intimidating and difficult to seek. It can also come at a time of challenges and hardships. As a Clinician, I strive to create an open and inviting virtual environment filled with compassion, empathy, and acceptance. I am here to support and guide you in your journey of self-exploration and self-awareness. With an emphasis on a client-centered and solution-focused approach, I work with each client to find a treatment model that works best for them.
