In 92116 - Nearby to El Cajon.
My approach to working with couples focuses on creating more connected, intentional, and fulfilling relationships. In couples counseling, we improve communication, navigate conflict effectively, and use challenges as opportunities for growth and deeper intimacy. As a certified sex therapist, I help address desire, intimacy, and sexual concerns in a direct, nonjudgmental way. In premarital counseling, I support couples in building a strong foundation by exploring expectations, strengthening communication, and preparing for long-term partnership.

Many couples find themselves having the same argument over and over in different forms, never quite reaching what it's really about. That repetition doesn't mean your relationship is broken; it means something underneath the surface hasn't been heard yet. I help you slow the cycle down and see what each of you is reaching for beneath the friction: the longings and fears that are hard to put into words. So much of what strains a partnership lives in what goes unsaid, and as it comes into the open, real understanding and closeness become possible again. I don't take sides. I've watched many discouraged couples rediscover each other, and I'm confident you can too.
