Transformative holistic healing has a new home in North County.
Healing happens best when people feel safe, supported, and deeply seen. For years, I've had the privilege of being with individuals and couples. I’ve sat with families and first responders from our San Diego and Golden offices and at the very beginning of Compass Healing Project—beloved Oceanside. It has now been 10 years since Compass Healing Project started out. I was a solo therapist in a small office in North Oceanside, and now multiple offices in multiple states!
I love helping clients reconnect with themselves through compassionate, evidence-based, and body-centered therapy, and it is what drives me and the team I’ve built to help you reach your goals.
So we are just thrilled to come full circle back to North County after a 6-year hiatus.
Compass Healing Project is opening a new location in Carlsbad, California!
Our new Carlsbad office is located inside Wholeness Collective Therapy. Our expansion allows us to bring our same approach to North County. We are specialized, whole-body integrative experts. Over time you can expect more coming from us in North County, this location is just a stepping stone for our North County SD journey.
Whether you've been looking for a therapist closer to home or you're beginning your healing journey for the first time, I am excited to welcome you into our newest space.
A New Home for Somatic Integrative Psychotherapy in Carlsbad
Our Carlsbad office creates an environment that reflects the work we do. As a somatic integrative therapist, I always take into account the effect that a space can have on our systems.
Our newest location is conveniently located in the heart of Carlsbad. It provides easy access for clients throughout North County. This includes Oceanside, Encinitas, Vista, San Marcos, Del Mar, Leucadia, and surrounding communities. Nestled near the beach and downtown Carlsbad. This office offers a peaceful setting where you can slow down and do meaningful work. Then grab a bite and watch the waves after.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. With us, you will feel welcomed, considered, and supported from the moment you step through the door.
The Same Compass Healing Project You Know and Trust
While our location is expanding, our values remain exactly the same.
I have a unique and educated approach to therapy. We use different modalities and trainings, but the bedrock of our approach is integrative. We will look at the organic and physical, the relational and emotional, the sexual, the spiritual. Change happens as we view the whole.
I recognize that lasting change doesn't always happen using traditional talk therapy. Change happens by working with the nervous system. By understanding the patterns keeping us stuck, we create space for lived transformation.
Every client receives individualized care based on their unique experiences, struggles, and relationships.
No matter the reason for beginning healing, we are here for you. Our team of somatic therapists in Carlsbad is ready to meet you exactly where you are.
All of the Same Services Available in San Diego, Now in Carlsbad
One of the biggest questions we've received is:
"Will the Carlsbad office offer the same services as your San Diego location?"
The answer is yes.
Our Carlsbad office offers the same specialized therapeutic services you know us for. We will continue to be a trusted resource. We are here for people looking to heal in profound, deep ways.
Somatics (soma=body in Latin) simply means we are working with people to create lasting change. Not just to have different thoughts (Mental health). Somatics is to experience life differently (Whole-Person Health). Creating change on this level is where Somatic Therapy shines.
Somatic therapy focuses on the body's nervous system. This modality helps clients process stress and anxiety physically as well. It's also amazing for trauma and emotional overwhelm. Everything changes when working with both physical sensations and emotional experiences. Keeping a calm, slow, digestible pace. This evidence-informed approach helps restore regulation and resilience. Creating a deeper sense of safety within yourself.
Trauma Therapy
For anyone who has experienced a single traumatic event. or years of chronic traumatic situations. Our trauma-informed specialized therapists provide compassionate support that allows healing without becoming overwhelmed.
All of our therapists are equipped to help clients move beyond survival mode. Moving toward lasting nervous system regulation and emotional freedom.
Individual Therapy
All of the therapists work with individuals as part of a larger system. Individual therapy is specialized, goal-oriented, and open to meeting you where you are. All genders, all peoples, all sexual expressions, all identities are welcome.
Individual counseling provides a space to better understand yourself. This improves emotional well-being and builds healthier coping skills. You will move through life's challenges with greater confidence and clarity.
Relational work comes in all shapes and sizes. All couples and families are welcome.
Are you navigating communication struggles? Trying to rebuild trust, prepare for marriage, or strengthen an already sturdy relationship? We can help. Our therapists use attachment-based and relational approaches. These help couples reconnect in meaningful ways.
Family, Parenting & Teen Therapy
Families experience seasons of transition, conflict, and growth.
We work with parents, teens, children, and families to strengthen communication and improve connection. This creates healthier patterns that support everyone involved.
First Responder Therapy & PTSD
First responders face struggles that often go unseen.
Our therapists understand the unique emotional, physical, and relational impacts of high-stress careers. Our team provides specialized expert care. Currently available to support those who spend their careers serving others.
Compass Healing Project also continues to offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy in Carlsbad. Along with other integrative approaches that support deep healing when clinically appropriate. Our goal is always to provide individualized treatment. This method honors the person as a whole, not just a diagnosis.
What You Can Expect at Your First Visit
Starting therapy can bring a mix of emotions.
It is so normal to feel nervous or unsure going into your first appointment. You might not know what to expect, what to say, or whether therapy is for you.
At Compass Healing Project, our first priority is creating emotional safety.
You won't be rushed, judged, or expected to have everything figured out. Instead, your therapist will spend time getting to know you. They will help you embody your desires for growth and healing. As well as create a collaborative plan that feels manageable and empowering.
Somatic therapeutic work is warm, relational, and deeply personalized because healing isn't one-size-fits-all.
Every session flows naturally following your rhythm. You will feel more connected to yourself, your relationships, and your life.
