Build stronger and healthier relationships by getting to know yourself better
Living in San Diego often means a life of movement—beaches, social events, and a culture that makes people think of "the good life." But when your internal world feels disconnected, or your primary relationship is under strain, even the brightest California day can feel heavy and even a little lonely.
If you are struggling with the challenging, oftentimes competitive culture of Southern California dating, or if you and your partner feel like you’re drifting apart despite living the life you worked so hard for, you are not alone. It is possible to move from a state of anxious attachment or avoidant distance into a place of secure, lasting connection.
Whether you’re dating now or you’re trying to just build deeper, more fulfilling relationships, therapy can help.
Relationship & Dating Therapy in San Diego
Going beyond surface-level solutions to surface-level relationships
Traditional talk therapy often stays in the "head," but relationship patterns are often stored in the body. As a therapist trained in IFS (Internal Family Systems) and Somatic-attachment, I can help you heal the nervous system triggers that keep you stuck in defensive loops.
For Individuals: We work on the internal relationship you have with yourself. When you heal your "inner critics" and "people-pleasers," you naturally begin to attract healthier, more secure partners.
For Couples: I help you identify the "cycles" that take over your relationship. We work to uncover the soft, vulnerable feelings (like the fear of being "not enough") that often hide underneath anger or silence.
Understanding Your Protective Parts: Often, the behaviors that frustrate us in relationships—like shutting down, "people-pleasing," or lashing out—are actually protective parts of us trying to prevent us from being hurt again.
Healing Attachment Styles: Shifting from anxious or avoidant patterns toward "earned security" so you can enjoy intimacy without the constant fear of abandonment.
Navigating Modern Dating: Whether you are navigating the unique pressures of San Diego’s social landscape or healing from the exhaustion of modern dating culture.
Virtual Accessibility: Providing therapy for San Diego-area residents, including La Jolla, North Park, and the South Bay via a secure, online therapy platform.
