Trusted Couples & Individual Therapy in San Diego
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 16 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate complex emotional and relational challenges. My practice, established in 2019, operates from two convenient locations in Hillcrest and Scripps Ranch, San Diego, while also offering secure virtual therapy sessions across California. I specialize in evidence-based approaches to couples therapy, adult ADHD management, and individual counseling, tailoring interventions to meet each client's unique needs. My integrative methodology draws from multiple therapeutic frameworks to ensure personalized care, emphasizing communication improvement, emotional connection, and practical coping strategies.With advanced training in couples counseling and a deep understanding of modern relationship dynamics, I prioritize creating safe, nonjudgmental spaces where clients can explore their concerns and achieve meaningful growth. My commitment to professional excellence is reflected in my California MFT license (No. MFT84327) and ongoing engagement with evolving therapeutic practices. I maintain transparent policies regarding payment, insurance reimbursement, and session scheduling to ensure accessibility and convenience for all clients.
