Hakomi Method Therapists in Oceanside, CA

I help individuals and couples who feel stuck in their lives, relationships, or intimate lives to slow down, understand what is actually happening, and create meaningful change. My approach is supportive, direct, sex-positive, and non-judgmental. Together, we may work with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship conflict, intimacy concerns, sexual difficulties, or major life transitions while supporting greater self-awareness, connection, authenticity, meaning, and fulfillment.

Welcome! I work with individuals, couples and groups across a wide variety of issues, including marriage and relationship counseling, trauma, psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, anxiety, and depression. I use mindfulness-based approaches rooted in the Hakomi Method with a focus on attachment and internal family systems. I have an informal style balanced between validating and warm as well as sharp and challenging. I will hold you accountable and help you develop your psychological weaknesses while building up your confidence in your strengths. I offer a free 30-minute consultation.

Oceanside is a coastal city in northern San Diego County situated directly adjacent to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, one of the largest Marine Corps installations in the country, and the city's mental health landscape is heavily shaped by the needs of active duty service members, veterans, and military families. Trauma, PTSD, military sexual trauma, deployment stress, and the challenges of military-to-civilian transition are among the most common concerns for therapists working in the area. San Diego County behavioral health services extend to Oceanside, and several private practices specialize specifically in military-affiliated populations. The city also has a growing civilian population of families and retirees attracted by its beaches and lower housing costs than central San Diego, and general therapy needs are well served by a broad network of local practitioners.
