Dani Graziano, MFT #47574
It is not uncommon for those who have experienced trauma, either as an adult or in childhood, to find it difficult to get close to others, to trust them. Feelings of helplessness, being out of control, or fear can give way to coping strategies such as emotional numbing, and distancing in an effort to protect yourself from further emotional pain.
As a Therapist in San Diego I work with both individuals and couples who are dealing with the effects of trauma. I work from an attachment perspective, focusing with couples, on the bond between the two of you. My goal in the therapy session is to help create a strong, safe relationship where you can work through your traumatic experiences with the love and support of your partner.
Available: Monday - Sunday, day and evening appointments available
Cost: $125 per 50-minute session

If you are at a place where you are searching for ways to repair, rebuild or preserve your relationship- I can help. Think of me as your expert guide. As a San Diego Couples Counselor, I provide a comfortable, nonjudgmental place where we will discuss your goals and the obstacles that are getting in the way.
