I’m a naturally curious, growth-oriented human who believes healing happens when insight meets action. I love helping people zoom out to see the bigger picture of their lives—while also gently zooming in on the patterns, habits, and beliefs that shape their everyday experience.

I’m drawn to the intersection of self-awareness and real-world momentum. Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and grounded. We can explore the deep stuff—identity, relationships, purpose, transitions—while also building practical tools you can actually use on a Tuesday afternoon when life is lifing.

I value emotional honesty, nervous system regulation, and sustainable growth over quick fixes. I believe you’re not broken—you’re adaptive. Together, we figure out what’s working, what’s outdated, and how to move forward in a way that feels aligned, empowered, and authentically you.

Expect warmth, insight, humor when it fits, and a space where all parts of you are welcome. Healing doesn’t have to be clinical and cold—it can be connected, intentional, and even a little energizing.

I’m a licensed therapist trained in somatic psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. I work with individuals, couples, and men, supporting clients with anxiety (including social anxiety), depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. I also help people navigating loneliness, work-related stress, and cultural or identity-related experiences, including multiracial relationships. My goal is to help people better understand themselves, their patterns, and how they relate to others. I tend to be warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative, while also being direct when it’s helpful.

Dr. Iyican completed her doctorate in clinical psychology at the University of Houston, where her graduate research focused on interventions for distressed couples as well as risk factors and treatment for intimate partner violence. In addition to studying and working clinically with couples, she received extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals dealing with anxiety, trauma, stress, and depression.

After finishing her doctorate, Dr. Iyican completed an APA accredited postdoctoral fellowship at the UC San Diego/VA San Diego Healthcare System residency program. As a fellow at the VA’s Family Mental Health Program, she provided Veterans and their partners with couple and individual therapy. This fellowship provided further intensive training in evidence-based psychotherapies, including Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy for PTSD, and Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD.

In addition to providing psychotherapy services to couples and individuals through the Couples Wellness Center, Dr. Iyican previously worked as a staff psychologist at the VA San Diego Healthcare System and as an Assistant Health Sciences Clinical Professor at UC San Diego. She has co-authored publications and professional presentations focused on the topics of couple therapy and intimate partner violence.

Dr. Iyican is certified in Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy, has completed advanced Level 3 Gottman Method Couple Therapy Training and the Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy Externship.

Dr. Iyican is also a mother of two and brings both professional expertise and lived experience to her work with new parents. Her personal journey sparked a deep interest in perinatal mental health and inspired her to pursue advanced training (PMH-C) in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for 28 years. I have worked in a Foster Care agency, as a Clinical Supervisor at a Children's Clinic in East LA and at a Drug, Alcohol, and Mental Health Facility. I also provided therapy for our military.

I’m a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel human—not rushed or impersonal.

I provide a non-judgmental space where you can speak openly and feel understood. My approach integrates thoughtful medication management with psychotherapy when appropriate, always tailored to your individual needs.

Diagnosis can be an important part of understanding your experience, but it’s only one piece of the picture. I look at your mental, physical, and emotional well-being, as well as the life experiences that shape what you’re going through.

I offer collaborative, grounded care to help you move toward a more balanced, integrative, and holistic sense of well-being.

There are some things in life that are too hard to face alone. If you or a loved one have experienced trauma, relationship struggles, stresses related to parenting or taking care of an aging parent, grief at the loss of a beloved member of your life, anxiety, depression, survivor or witness to abuse, or seeking tools for living with wellness. Please come and be welcome in a healing space.
