About Hayden

I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Sex Therapist with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and couples create more fulfilling lives and relationships.

I work with clients in San Diego and throughout California, both in person and through secure online therapy.

Many of the people I work with feel stuck—whether that shows up as anxiety, disconnection in a relationship, difficulty with intimacy, or a sense that something in life isn’t working.

My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and grounded in both psychological insight and the connection between mind and body. I draw from somatic psychotherapy, existential-humanistic therapy, and practical, goal-oriented work to support meaningful, lasting change.

You might be feeling…

  • Stuck, anxious, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward

  • Depressed, disconnected, or struggling to find joy and meaning in your life

  • Caught in repeating relationship conflicts or feeling distant from your partner

  • Frustrated, confused, or disconnected in your intimate or sexual life

  • Grieving a loss, navigating a major life transition, or carrying the effects of past experiences

  • Ready for greater clarity, connection, purpose, and fulfillment

You don’t have to figure this out on your own.

I work with clients in San Diego and across California to help create meaningful change.

A different kind of therapy

My work is grounded in a holistic approach that integrates body-centered psychotherapy, sex therapy, and evidence-based practices.

Rather than focusing only on symptoms, we explore the deeper patterns shaping your experience—so you can make choices that align with who you really are.

This process leads to greater clarity, stronger relationships, and meaningful, lasting change. Sessions are available in person in San Diego and online throughout California.

“Hayden offered a remarkably steady, caring, and clear presence… He helped me overcome deeply ingrained patterns and guided me through emotional and somatic work in a way that felt safe, thoughtful, and effective. I feel more purposeful, aware, and capable in my life because of our work together.”
