Not Group Therapy in San Diego County | Oceanside, CA

Therapy also known as psychotherapy is at its base level focused on treating mental health conditions. In fact, in most, if not all cases, in order for therapy to be covered by your insurance, you are required to be diagnosed with a mental health condition and to have significant impairment in your life BECAUSE of this major mental health diagnosis.

Coaching is not focused

I believe in the deep power for people to experience joy, bliss, and connection in their day to day life.

Therapy should be helping people experience more of this in their day to day lives. But, for many people therapy is another wounding.

At its core, I think the idea of therapy is beautiful, that is why I became a licensed therapist all those years ago.

In the reality, the system as it currently stands is broken. The focus should always be on helping hte person in front of. you. It should be a cocreated experience that actually works- not just on paper but in people’s real lives.

The biggest problem is that a large majority of people on the planet don’t actually qualify for a mental health diagnosis- and our broken system is currrently centered around diagnosing individuals.

Furthermore, the diagnostic criteria are problematic, insufficient, and just plain inaccurate for entire populations, cultures, and more.

While a mental health diagnosis in theory is focused on people getting better access to care, many people find that this diagnosis can lead to judgment, stigma, and reduced access to care.

Mental health diagnosis can also impact your insurance premiums, eligibility for health insurance, short-term and long-term care insurance, and much more.

In short, the system in broken.

You don’t need a made up diagnosis as much as you need healing, support, and direction.

While understanding neurodivergence is powerful- a diagnosis, or a lack thereof isn’t what anyone is looking for…

You are looking to figure out how to navigate life in a way that works for you, that allows for easeful connections, community, life, health, and employment in a way that works for your unique history, brain, and goals.

While being diagnosed with c-PTSD can be informative, what would be MORE helpful would be access to care that works as quickly as possible so you can move through trauma in a way that is doesn’t become “stuck” in your body and heart.

Coaching, reiki, brainspotting, and spiritual mentoring don’t wait for, or require a mental health diagnosis to provide you the care and direction you need in this moment.

That said, as a former therapist with a Master’s Degree in Psychology- when/if discussions of diagnosis are helpful or you are desiring a referring for diagnostic evaluation I am skilled in directing you to really amazing humans who can help with that.

Group Brainspotting is a unique experience that allows you to process deep emotional blocks, attachment wounds, and relational patterns within a supportive group setting. It combines neuroscience, mindfulness, and connection to create real, embodied change.

This is not group therapy. Unlike traditional therapy groups, this program does not focus on diagnosing, discussing problems endlessly, or rehashing the past. Instead, it’s about active, deep healing through Brainspotting, nervous system regulation, and relational skill-building.

Who is this for?

This group is for you if you:

• Have already done some personal work—through therapy, books, or self-reflection

• Understand your patterns but still struggle to break free from them

• Are ready to move from awareness to transformation

• Want to experience true connection and co-regulation with others

• Are open to exploring a body-based, neuroscience-backed approach to healing

No! Whether you’re brand new to Brainspotting or have done it before, you’ll be guided through the process in a way that feels safe and effective.

Each week, we will meet as a group for a guided Brainspotting session, nervous system regulation practices, and integrative exercises. You will also have opportunities to share insights and build authentic connections in a safe, structured environment.

No. This is an 8-week closed group, meaning the same members attend each week. This allows for deep trust and connection to develop, which enhances the Brainspotting process.

Yes! This program can complement therapy by providing a different way to process and heal. Many participants find that Brainspotting helps them go deeper into their therapeutic work.

To ensure a connected and intimate experience, the group is limited to 8 participants.

What if I can’t attend every session?
Consistency is key, so we ask that you commit to attending all 8 sessions. If you need to miss one, we’ll provide guidance on how to continue your process between sessions.

The next round of the 8-week Group Brainspotting Coaching Program is forming now! Contact me to join the waitlist to be the first to know when enrollment opens.
