If you’re feeling disconnected in your relationship, overwhelmed by anxiety or depression, or weighed down by past hurt and abandonment, you’re not alone. Many people come to me tired of repeating the same arguments, navigating blended family stress, healing from infidelity, or facing big life transitions and separation. Together, we can slow things down, make sense of patterns, and create steadier ground.
I love working with individuals, couples, and families who are ready to communicate more clearly, set healthier boundaries, and rebuild trust. I welcome diverse identities and experiences, including high-conflict partners, premarital and interfaith couples, military families, and those moving through divorce recovery.
I’m Farnaz Safaei, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, based in San Diego, with 6 years of experience. My approach is warm, practical, and collaborative. I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to steady emotions and strengthen coping, Solution-Focused strategies to build momentum, and the Gottman Method to help couples reconnect. I also attend closely to attachment, communication, and family dynamics. I provide therapy in English, in person in San Diego and online across California.
If this resonates, I’d be honored to support you. Reach out to schedule a brief consultation—we’ll take the next step together.
