We Specialize in Couples and Relationships
Our practice is dedicated to helping couples and individuals create thriving relationships. As specialists, we bring a deep understanding of the unique dynamics, challenges, and opportunities that relationships present. Our expertise allows us to provide highly effective relationship support.

We View Mental Health Through a Relational and Systems Lens
We understand individuals within the context of their relationships and families. Rather than seeing struggles as solely internal or individual, we recognize how relational dynamics, attachment patterns, and systemic influences shape emotions, behaviors, and wellbeing. This perspective allows us to explore how relationships impact mental health and how mental health challenges influence relationships. By addressing these interconnected factors, we help individuals and couples create healthier patterns, deepen emotional security, and foster meaningful change that extends beyond the individual to the entire family.

Our Therapists Are Dedicated to Couples Therapy
Our licensed and associate Marriage and Family Therapists have training beyond the graduate school level and are trained in one of the most well-known and respected models for couples therapy: Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT). This evidence-based approach creates lasting, positive change within relationships. 90% of couples that complete the EFT process report a more satisfying and fulfilling relationship.

Professionalism and Ethics
Professionalism is at the heart of everything we do. Our team upholds the highest ethical standards, as outlined by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences and the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. We prioritize ongoing professional development and clinical training. This dedication allows us to foster trust, deliver effective therapy, and create a safe space for meaningful growth and connection.

Confidentiality and Privacy
As Marriage and Family Therapists, we are legally obligated to uphold strict confidentiality. Protecting your privacy is fundamental to our practice and reflects the trust you place in us. We are dedicated to safeguarding all personal information shared in therapy, ensuring it remains secure and confined within the therapeutic relationship.

Exceptional Service and Care
We value the importance of exceptional service in every aspect of our work. We are committed to creating a welcoming environment where clients are heard, respected, and cared for. Our team goes above and beyond to meet the unique needs of each client, tailoring our approach to ensure the highest quality of care. We believe that excellent service extends beyond the therapy room. From the first contact to ongoing communication, we strive to provide a seamless and responsive experience.

Flexible In-Person and Virtual Options
We understand that couples are busy, which is why we offer both in-person therapy at our office in Encinitas, CA and virtual therapy for added convenience. With flexible morning, day, and evening appointments, we ensure that therapy fits into your schedule, whether you prefer to meet from your home or in our private, comfortable office.

Workshops and Intensives
In addition to weekly therapy, we offer workshops and intensives for couples seeking more immersive experiences. These offerings can serve as an adjunct or an alternative to weekly therapy, providing couples with practical tools and opportunities to deepen their connection in a focused and supportive environment.
