If you’ve spent years feeling unseen, unsafe, or disconnected—from yourself or others—you’re not alone. I work with adults in San Diego who are healing from childhood trauma, emotional neglect, or growing up in families affected by addiction, conflict, or instability. My approach is depth-oriented and relational, helping you understand how early experiences continue to shape your present. Together, we explore your inner world so you can move from survival to authentic connection—with yourself and those you love.

You might be the strong one, the fixer, the one everyone leans on... but inside you’re exhausted, anxious, or just not feeling like yourself. That’s where we come in. You don’t have to hold it all together here. It's exhausting. Be you and let us help the best part of you shine! We’re a group of real people who also happen to be really good therapists. We’re not going to stare at you blankly or ask, “And how does that make you feel?” on repeat. We actually care, we’re not afraid to be human in the room, and we know that healing happens when you feel safe, seen, and not judged.

You have the innate capability within yourself to heal. My role as your therapist is to uplift the recognition of that power within you. My goal is to help you gain clarity and develop practical tools for navigating your relationships with yourself and others. I ground my therapeutic approach in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). EFT helps identify and reshape emotional patterns, while AEDP creates a safe, nurturing environment for emotional healing and self-compassion. Together, we will explore the emotional dynamics that shape your life and work to transform them.

Most of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who find themselves stuck in painful relationship patterns, whether in love, family, or friendships. They may be navigating conflict, disconnection, infidelity, or the aftermath of loss or divorce. I work with individuals and couples to uncover the deeper dynamics beneath these struggles, especially around intimacy, attachment, and sex or love addiction, so they can break cycles, rebuild trust, and create relationships that feel secure, honest, and alive.

You've probably Googled "how to have a better relationship" at 11pm. I get it. Maybe you're engaged and want to actually do this right, not just survive the wedding, but build something that holds. Maybe you've noticed that the way you fight (or don't fight) looks a little too familiar, like something you learned long before you had a choice. Maybe you're about to become parents and you're equal parts excited and terrified about what that's going to do to you two. I work with couples who are ready to stop repeating old patterns and start building something intentional. Let's work together to really build the intimacy you crave.

You've done the work — the books, maybe even therapy — but something still feels stuck. In your relationship, in how you see yourself, in patterns you keep returning to no matter what you try. You want more than coping tools. You want to actually feel different. I work with individuals ready for deep self-love and transformation, and couples exhausted by the same conflict cycles. Using EMDR, somatic healing, and HeartMath biofeedback, we heal what's driving the pattern — not just manage it.
