I specialize in working with children, adolescents, parents, couples, and families. Using Play Therapy, I help children express themselves naturally in a safe, supportive environment. I also specialize in helping families navigate separation and divorce and am trained in Co-Parenting to help parents improve communication and create stability for their children. My goal is to foster resilience, strengthen family relationships, and support lasting emotional well-being.
I work with couples using the evidence-based Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). These approaches help improve communication, rebuild trust, strengthen emotional connection, and create healthier, more satisfying relationships. I provide a compassionate,nonjudgmental space where couples can work through challenges and deepen their connection
For over 28 years, I have taught parenting classes in San Diego using the nationally recognized Redirecting Children's Behavior and Developing Capable Young People programs. When you contact my practice, you'll speak directly with me—I personally respond to every inquiry because connection begins with the first conversation.
