Online individual and couples therapy in San Diego, California
Hi there!
I’m Elisa, a San Diego-based Latina couples therapist
All you want is for life to be easier, and not feel like everything is about to come crashing down. You want to feel calm, connected, and confident at home and at work. You want to be free from the constant arguments that leave you shutting down and in tears. You’re just so tired of it all. Let me help.
Plus, as a Latina therapist, daughter of an immigrant, and in an interracial marriage, I have both lived experience & years of therapeutic experience working out these very issues too.
When I am not working with clients, I enjoy taking my dog on long walks while listening to my favorite podcast Ologies.

“Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn't you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are."

It is time to get the life & relationship you want and deserve.
Life is short and precious. And here you are in a relationship that is not the one you imagined. Maybe it started out great, but over time your life has fallen apart.
You find yourself fighting with your partner & it pains you to think that your relationship is not as happy as you thought. How do you actually talk about the hard things with out it blowing up?
All you want is to finally feel calm, confident, and good enough for your partner, but most importantly for yourself. You know a great relationship is possible, you just don’t know how to get there. Let me help you with a couples therapy designed to break patterns, Emotionally Focused Therapy.

The Process
Consultation
After filling out my contact form, I will get back to you to set up a time to speak for about 10-15 minutes. During this call, we will explore if I am the right fit to help you reach your goals. The first consultation is free.
Intake
Next we schedule our intake session. I will set up your online portal where forms and sessions can be accessed. A card must be on file prior to our first session. Our first session is all about exploring what is going on and how therapy can help. If for whatever reason we decide that this is not the right fit, I will give your appropriate referrals.
On-going
We will come up with measurable goals to get you the life you deserve. Therapy can make things feel worse in the beginning. This work isn’t easy and I will support you along the way. On average I see people for 6-9 months.
I am ready to do the work and break the cycle.
