Emotionally Focused Therapists in San Diego, CA

You might be feeling stuck in your relationships. You’re struggling to be vulnerable and fully present with not only loved ones, but with yourself. You’re falling into a repetitive cycle that leaves you feeling exhausted, frustrated, and alone. You’re ready to dig into your attachment history and start breaking down the shields that used to protect you, but are now a barrier to vulnerability. You know it's time to do the deep work and cultivate the self-acceptance and relationships you long for.

Birth, death, love, and heartbreak. These core experiences are inevitable to all humans, and yet, we are always surprised by how profoundly they shape our lives as individuals. As a clinical psychologist, I’ve come to understand just how deeply we struggle to make sense of these transitions and the great lengths we will go to avoid the feelings involved. I’ve had the privilege of helping people work through the depression, anxiety, relationship issues, grief, anger, and interpersonal conflict that often result from this avoidance and creating a deeper sense of self-compassion for the human condition.

Do you wake up with dread and anxiety and cannot get out of bed? Is trauma from the past and present affecting you? Is the emotional roller-coaster holding you back from fully becoming your true self? Is your mental health affecting other aspects of your life, like relationships, work, and physical health? Many are saturated with negative feelings and unwanted thoughts and struggle to find inner peace in the modern world. Imagine if you did not have to live this way. Imagine being in a grounded state, with stable emotions, and in control of your thoughts and feelings. Imagine finding inner peace and a clearer purpose in life.
