Therapists in Temecula, CA

I believe therapy begins with curiosity—about who you are, where you come from, and early life experiences that have shaped the way you move through the world. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I view therapy through a culturally-responsive, attachment-based lens, recognizing that our past can help us better understand–not define–our present. I work collaboratively with clients to explore how early experiences and cultural influences may continue to show up in their relationships, communication, boundaries, and sense of self. As an Asian American clinician, I recognize the unique challenges many clients face when navigating cultural expectations, family obligations, acculturation experiences, and conversations surrounding mental health within their communities. I aim to provide a compassionate and culturally attuned therapeutic environment where clients feel seen, understood, and empowered. My approach is grounded in attachment-based therapy and integrates evidence-based approaches, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic therapy. I integrate these approaches thoughtfully and collaboratively, tailoring our work to your unique experiences, relationships, and goals for growth. I work with adults, couples and adolescents. Whether you are looking to address trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity issues, life transitions, or patterns that no longer serve you, my goal is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your relationships so that you can move toward greater connection, authenticity, and emotional security. When I’m not in the therapy room, you’ll often find me spending time with family, reading a good book, trying my hand at a new recipe, watching movies, or making the most of the beautiful San Diego sunshine.

Hi! I’m Elise, an Associate Clinical Social Worker with five years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked across a variety of treatment settings, including residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient care. I work with Individuals, couples, adolescents and children. I utilize a trauma-informed and eclectic approach, blending evidence-based therapies such as CBT, ACT, and DBT, while also drawing from Compassion-Focused Therapy to help cultivate your compassionate self and guide you toward treating yourself with the kindness you deserve. For trauma-focused work I pull from DBT and CPT to help my clients gain relief from the hold that trauma may have on them. I also have specialized training in OCD and Eating disorders and am a HAES aligned Clinician. In my work with couples, I utilize techniques derived from the Gottman Method and EFT. I value using humor in therapy and prioritize building strong relationships with my clients so they feel heard, seen, and supported in a nonjudgmental environment. I also find it important to bring attention to the cultural and systemic forces that may shape how you view yourself, helping to ‘zoom out’ and gain a broader understanding of your experiences. Outside of work, I enjoy hanging out with my cat, hiking, spending time at the beach, and diving into my latest library find. I believe that bringing curiosity, balance, and compassion into life is just as important as the therapeutic work, and I aim to model that approach with the clients I work with.

I am an Associate Therapist with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. Much of my work has focused on adolescents and young adults impacted by domestic violence and sex trafficking, helping them navigate complex trauma and build safety, resilience, and a sense of control. My approach integrates trauma‑focused CBT, solution‑focused therapy, EFT, and narrative therapy, tailored to each client’s strengths, culture, and goals. As a mature clinician who returned to school later in life, I bring lived experience, empathy, and a deep commitment to creating a safe, respectful space where clients feel genuinely heard, seen, and valued.

I work with men, women, adolescents, and couples who are navigating relationship challenges, trauma, emotional overwhelm, or a desire for deeper self‑understanding. Many come to therapy wanting support in building resilience, improving communication, or finding clarity in moments of transition. I offer a grounded, validating space where clients can explore their experiences and reconnect with their strengths. I specialize in trauma work, emotional regulation, and relationship dynamics. I use CBT, mindfulness‑based therapy, EMDR, and tools from the Gottman Method and EFT to support individuals and couples. My approach is flexible and collaborative, helping clients heal, grow, and strengthen their sense of purpose. I know how hard it can be to carry things on your own or feel unsure about your next step. In our work together, you’ll have a space where you’re seen, heard, and supported as you explore what’s been weighing on you.
