Marriage and couples counseling for San Diego, by video

San Diego couples range from young military families near the bases to biotech professionals in Sorrento Valley to retirees in North County. What they often share is a need for counseling that fits around deployments, shift work, and long hours.

Video counseling lets you meet from Chula Vista, La Mesa, Oceanside, Carlsbad, or anywhere in the county without the drive.

Military and first-responder couples

Deployments, training cycles, and moves put a specific strain on a marriage. Coming back together after time apart takes work. A short, six-session structure can fit between training cycles, and you can join from two locations as long as both of you are in California.

Other common concerns

  • Reconnecting after long periods apart
  • Dividing parenting when one partner's schedule changes often
  • Trust and communication after a hard season

How it works

We follow Brief Directive Marriage Counseling™, six weekly sessions. We talk about the past once, then keep the focus on what you'll do differently.

It's a focused, six-session approach, and I actively guide you toward change. We know what isn't working. Now we put the changes in place. If you're living in the past, you're not building a future. You're just practicing the problem.

Sessions are by secure video. You both need to be in California during the session, and you can join from the same room or from two places.
