Marriage Counseling
Marriage can be difficult. Trying to fit two different personalities together with different life experiences and definitions of what things mean can cause problems in the long term with misunderstandings and resentments growing. It can lead to questioning if this relationship is the right one for you.
There are often many questions and concerns in taking that big step.
You may be avoiding it because you don’t want to hurt others you love such as children, you’re not sure how to work out the finances, or you wonder if there is something you can do to save your marriage and avoid divorce. Your counselor can help you explore these questions and others that you might have so you can get to your own answers and/or clear out the fears that are keeping you from the answers you seek.
We believe strongly that if your marriage is in trouble, you should try Marriage Counseling first because if you don’t fix the problem in this marriage or relationship, it is likely to follow you to the next.
Oftentimes, problems in marriage are from unresolved “baggage”.
This baggage can make you and your partner reactive and defensive to the actions of each other. Once you clear out your own baggage you will have a much clearer picture of the current state of your marriage.
This will, in turn, make it much easier to come to a clear decision on whether you want a divorce or the marriage is worth saving. Also once your own baggage is cleared out you very likely may decide things aren’t so bad after all.
Our philosophy is that ANY relationship or marriage CAN BE SAVED with Marriage Counseling, no matter what state the marriage is currently in, especially if you are both willing to work on it. Lastly, even if it does turn out to be the right decision to divorce, after having gone through the program at Love Therapy Center, you will be able to do so with a clean conscience.
“It is worth it to try and work it out in this relationship… if you don’t the problems are likely to follow you to the next relationship”

About Me
Originally from the East Coast, I earned my B.A. in Psychology and Philosophy from Boston University initially as an engineer (I have a strong science / techy side) but quickly moved back to my passion and curiosity for the human condition, healing and growth. I graduated with a double major in Psychology and Philosophy, went on to complete my M.A. in Transpersonal/Spiritual Counseling Psychology at Sofia University in 2003, and after the required 3000 experience hours, received my CA state license in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2008 (License #MFC45878). My curiosity and passion continues to drive my continued growth and expansion as a healing practitioner and I continue to train more, learn more and expand my professional capacity more and more year after year — as you can see from the extensive list of Credentials and Trainings. I am passionate about this work and helping and I look forward to bringing that knowledge, experience and connection to You! ❤About Love Therapy Center
Founded in 2008, Love Therapy Center was born from my vision of a more integrative, experiential model of psychotherapy—one that combines talk therapy with mind-body-soul modalities. Founded in the Bay Area / San Francisco & Silicon Valley, we now operate out of San Diego and serve all of California! Our primary focus is on self-love and the integration of scientifically grounded, evidence-based healing in combination with metaphysical, less-understood ancient healing traditions. When you work with someone from Love Therapy Center, you can expect that blend of both traditional and spiritual approaches—combined with evidence-based Western methods—for customized treatment that truly fits each individual.
