Hello! I am Registered Yoga Teacher, Clinical Supervisor & Consultant, as well as a Certified Focusing-Oriented Expressive Arts Practitioner.
I have almost a decade of experience working with children, adults, couples, and families in a therapeutic capacity. I specialize in trauma and family work. I am an integrative psychotherapist – integrating art therapy, play therapy, sand tray, mindfulness, astrology, spirituality, and more into therapy.
Through therapy, clients develop new skills, discover new insights, and strengthen their resilience for whatever life brings.
I believe therapy is most effective when you feel accepted, understood, and empowered. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself while also feeling challenged to grow. I meet clients where they are, recognizing that everyone comes to therapy with unique experiences, strengths, and goals.

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding family therapists in San Diego starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, relationship strain, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare San Diego therapists, look for someone whose profile lists family therapy experience, relevant training, and an approach that fits the concerns you want to discuss.
San Diego has many therapy options across neighborhoods like North Park, Hillcrest, La Jolla, and Chula Vista, which can make the search easier to start and harder to narrow. Consider whether in-person sessions near home, school, or work fit your schedule, or whether virtual appointments make it easier for more family members to join. Session attendance may vary, including the full family, smaller groups, or individual family members. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each therapist structures family sessions, handles communication patterns, and supports fit before you book.
Family therapy in San Diego can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for family therapists who are accepting new patients, compare availability, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
