I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Diego and am so glad you are here.Seeking help can potentially feel daunting, exposing, and overwhelming. It can also be our first steps toward repair, healing, and growth. I have found that people are so very strong, courageous, and hard-working, and still need some help when things get hard. I believe therapy can be a unique chance to discover parts of ourselves we forgot about, allow healing for the tender parts, and find new ways of interacting with ourselves and our partners that allow for deeper understanding and connection.I work with couples and individuals who often struggle with: a feeling of something between angry, sad, and fear that doesn’t have a name, as well as feelings of overwhelm, worry and stress that gets between them and their preferred lives. I seek to create opportunities in therapy to connect more deeply with the truest parts of yourself so that you can then connect more deeply with your purpose, values, and trusted others.Please contact me with any questions you might have regarding individual or couples therapy, group therapy, or team development and training.I work mainly with couples, individuals, premarital/pre-engagement, relational distress, and anxiety." } ] } ] ```
