Areas of Support
What brings you to therapy may not fit neatly into one category. Emma Bourroux, AMFT works with individuals, couples, and families in Encinitas and across North County San Diego on the concerns listed below.
Primary areas of support
Four broad areas cover most of what people arrive with. Each one opens a page of its own.
01
Anxiety & Depression
You cannot shut your brain off at night. You are exhausted but still cannot relax, or you have stopped caring about things you used to love. Many people find therapy helps with sleep and with feeling less on edge.

Trauma & Grief
Something happened, or someone is gone, and it still has not settled. You do not have to explain everything on day one. We go at your pace and you decide what to talk about.

Therapy for Life Transitions
A move, a new baby, a breakup, a new job, an empty house. Even good changes can feel like too much. Therapy gives you a place to sort it out.
