I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with experience working in community mental health, co-occurring substance use treatment, and residential care settings. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use challenges, mood disorders, relationship stress, and major life transitions.

I believe therapy works best when clients feel heard, respected and supported without judgement. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each client's unique needs and goals. I draw from CBT, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based approaches to help clients build insight, emotional stability, and healthier coping strategies.

Find the right couples therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in San Diego

Finding couples therapists in San Diego starts with understanding what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy, couples counseling, marriage counseling, and relationship therapy can support concerns like communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so review each therapist’s listed specialties, credentials, and approach. You may want to look for a licensed marriage and family therapist, or a therapist trained in couples methods like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy.

San Diego has many therapists across neighborhoods like Hillcrest, North Park, La Jolla, and Mission Valley, which can make narrowing the search more involved. For couples, the right match also needs to work for two schedules, two preferences, and either an in-person or virtual format. Consider appointment availability, office location, session structure, and whether a therapist offers a brief consultation before booking. Reading bios can help you understand how a therapist works with couples, how they describe their communication style, and whether their experience fits what you want from San Diego relationship counseling.

Couples therapy in San Diego can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for marriage therapists in San Diego who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, check estimated costs based on your plan, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
