How’s your love life?
I offer couples therapy, premarital counseling, and relationship therapy for individuals in San Diego County and online throughout California.
We are relational beings. We are wired to crave closeness and connection.
These days, regardless of relationship status, people report a significant increase in feelings of loneliness, disconnection, isolation and despair.
We all deserve to experience authentic human connection, yet this requires us to access a level of emotional depth and vulnerability that is not typically encouraged in modern relationships.
We need to focus on nurturing our relationships more than ever!
Hi, I’m Morgan, LMFT!
I have always been fascinated by the intricate nature of relationship dynamics. I firmly believe that the quality of our relationships profoundly influences our overall happiness, success, and life satisfaction. Relationships are one of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of our lives and I am dedicated to helping people establish healthier ways of interacting.
I subscribe to the idea that we can all benefit from the honest self-examination, awareness, radical acceptance and personal growth that occurs in therapy. My aim is to make therapy accessible and approachable for those who are interested in embarking on this journey.
Prior to my career as a therapist, I was a certified yoga instructor and health coach, which allows me to approach mental health from a holistic perspective. Outside of my passion for therapy, I love practicing yoga, weight lifting, taking long walks by the water, listening to country music, discovering new audiobooks and podcasts, laughing with friends, daydreaming about golden retrievers, and being a complete weirdo with my fiancé.
My Approach
My approach is deeply person-centered, emphasizing the tremendous healing potential found in a genuine, non-judgmental, and empathetic therapeutic relationship.
I advocate for a collaborative, individualized, strengths-based therapy approach that empowers clients to discover their own answers within a nurturing therapeutic environment. I bring authenticity, humor, and lightheartedness to create a warm space for exploration and insight.
Throughout my clinical work, I've focused extensively on addressing relationship issues through an attachment lens, both with couples and individuals. I specialize in helping clients break free from maladaptive relationship patterns while enhancing communication and connection.
I skillfully blend Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, mindfulness training, and The Gottman Method for Couples Therapy to support clients in navigating conflict by fostering emotional intimacy, accountability, friendship, curiosity, and compassion. I also utilize internal family systems (IFS), motivational interviewing, attachment theory and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Are you feeling stagnant in your relationship, like you are going through the motions, but you are lacking emotional depth or physical intimacy?
Do you and your partner keep getting stuck in cycles of conflict that leave you feeling exhausted and discouraged?
Are self-protective strategies blocking you from the type of true connection you desire in relationships?
Do you find yourself perpetually dating the same type of partner and playing out old patterns that are no longer serving you?
I can help you get clarity on what you really want and learn how to communicate in a way that invites connection and understanding.
