Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Solana Beach, CA

My passion is for people and their relationships. Eastern thought teaches us that pain is inevitable, suffering is optional; life and relationships have the ability to create struggles in everyday life that creates pain, but it is through our attitudes, behaviors, and meaning that we place ourselves in situations where we create our own suffering. By helping people find the tools to cultivate their unique skills, I believe we can find the hope and fulfillment to overcome our suffering. My focus is on individuals and couples as they search for connection, intimacy, love and success.

Our modern world puts immense demands on all of us, especially mothers. My passion is working with women, specifically mothers, who are looking for guidance and tools to improve their quality of life and relationships. Working together we will identify goals to help you enhance your life in all ways; financial, physical, emotional and spiritual.

Are you someone who appears to have everything under control, yet feels a sense of emptiness within? It’s not uncommon for high achievers to experience moments of confusion or isolation, even when life seems outwardly promising. You may excel at work and maintain a decent home life, but if you find yourself questioning your direction, feeling stagnation in your relationships, or battling persistent anxiety that hinders your motivation, know that you’re not alone. Seeking support from a psychologist can help you untangle these complex feelings, rediscover your sense of purpose, and foster deeper connections with yourself and others.

Hi there! I'm Beatriz and I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California working with clients statewide via Telehealth. I’m a Latina bilingual spanish speaking therapist with many years of mental health experience.

Becoming a parent, going through pregnancy and childbirth or loss will impact your relationships (with others and yourself) in ways you never imagined. And lets not talk about parenting and the incredible difficulty involved with being responsible for other small humans. You will stand in the mirror and the person staring back at you is unfamiliar. You are irritable, tired and on edge all of the time. Your self esteem is low and you are feeling guilt and worry almost all the time. It all seems impossible and no one truly understands. You are not alone. Not alone in the pain. And you don't have to be alone in the healing.
