Divorce Therapists in San Diego, CA

I specialize in working with couples who are in conflict, who are in emotional pain and need help. I work with couples who are considering divorce but are not sure about separating. I help couples who keep having the same argument over and over and who get angry with each other often. I also have experience with couples where there has been infidelity and are in crisis. I also work with couples who want to prepare themselves for big transitions such as having kids, moving together, etc. I work with heterosexual couples and also have worked with many queer couples and interracial couples.

Are you considering divorce? Has your spouse told you they want to end your marriage? If you're in the fog of divorce, Lucy will provide the safe space you need. Divorce is trauma, even if you are the leaving spouse, because it changes your whole life. What you thought you could trust is no longer there.

You're feeling overwhelmed with all the changes in your life. Maybe it’s adjusting to marriage, parenthood or dealing with postpartum. Maybe the spark has left your marriage and you've started having an affair, or you're feeling upside down having just discovered your partner is having an affair. Maybe you just got divorced and feel like you lost your identity. Or you're worried about the impact the divorce will have on your children. Whatever it is, you feel like you have no one to turn to, no one to confide in, and your mind is filled with racing thoughts.

It’s okay to not be okay. We all need help sometimes. If you're experiencing family conflict, I can help you connect with your child in ways that will foster healthy attachment and improve your communication. If your family is going through a divorce, I can help your child navigate that difficult life transition. If your child is acting out at school or at home, I can help them learn to express themself in healthier ways, as well as provide you with parenting strategies to decrease unwanted behaviors. If your child is struggling socially, I can help them improve their social skills so that they no longer feel isolated.

I hear you. You've been going through the motions, avoiding the pain, sometimes barely hanging on, and trying to live a "normal," happy life. But, it all keeps creeping up and interrupts your hopes and goals, negatively impacts your day to day life, and creates relationships struggles. A childhood trauma might be coming up or a more recent traumatic event. Maybe you are struggling to move on after divorce. Either way, your life isn't going the way you want it to. I can help you heal and move beyond the experiences that are wreaking havoc on you, so that you can have the life and future that you want and deserve.

How can Family Therapy help you? Is there someone in your family that seems to be the center of all the conflict? Do you feel helpless or that your situation is out of control? If you and your family are struggling, let me help you. I help families resolve behavioral issues through guiding parents with positive parenting strategies. I also support children so they learn different coping skills to express their emotions without acting out in undesirable ways. Family therapy can strengthen the parent-child bond and decrease unwanted behaviors. Parents can learn new ways to help their children and gain the confidence they need.
