What Makes Us Different
We Specialize in Couples and Relationships
Our practice is devoted to helping couples and individuals create strong, connected, and thriving relationships. Our licensed and associate Marriage and Family Therapists have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most respected and evidence-based models for couples therapy. Research shows that 90% of couples who complete EFT report greater satisfaction and emotional connection. As specialists, we bring deep insight into the patterns, challenges, and possibilities that shape relationships.
Exceptional Care
As a boutique practice, we offer highly personalized care. From the first contact, we aim to create a warm and welcoming experience where clients feel truly seen and supported. We’re accessible, responsive, and committed to providing high-quality therapy tailored to each couple or individual.
Flexible Appointments
We understand that life is full—especially for couples. Our intentionally small practice allows most clients to begin therapy without long waitlists. We offer in-person sessions in Encinitas, CA and virtual therapy for convenience, with flexible morning, day, and evening appointments.
Workshops & Groups
Beyond weekly therapy, we offer workshops and groups for those seeking a more focused or immersive experience. These programs provide practical tools, community support, and a powerful space to deepen connection and personal growth.
