Michael is currently accepting new patients.
Are you feeling frustrated, confused, stressed, depressed, or lost? Living a human life means learning to live with the human condition and the challenges that arise as a result-- mortality, relationships, conflict, emotionality, suffering, and change. In short, therapy can help you adapt and adjust to experiences that can often be challenging and confusing; experiences that you may not always have the skills or insight to address. Therapy is a safe environment where you can process your experience of life and get helpful feedback with a healing perspective.
Michael believes therapy is a space to help you adjust, reattach, and integrate peacefully into the process of living to create wellness. Since a young age, he has always been intrigued by the human condition, and is continually inspired by watching people grow and connect more deeply to themselves and with others.
Michael is a San Diego native, who has spent over 17 years in management and entrepreneurship and is passionate about applying his skills to help others improve their quality of life. Michael studied philosophy as an undergraduate at UCSD and went on to earn his master's degree in multicultural counseling at SDSU. From his experience, he has gained unique insights for understanding how social and internalized systems contribute to unwellness, and lack of integration. In addition to overcoming personal challenges with mental health, he has worked with a variety of populations with different mental health challenges, including many types of trauma and severe mental illness.
Michael's specialties include working with sociocultural and systemic challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction (with sustained periods of sobriety), coping skills, codependency, career counseling, and performance challenges. He uses an integrative, client-centered approach, to address multiple dimensions of the unique human experience, with the goal of creating peace and wellness.

Svetlana is currently accepting new patients.
Svetlana earned her bachelor of arts degree in Child and Adolescent Development and a minor in International Relations. During her work as an educator, she discovered that barriers to learning in children were often rooted in family turmoil. Her passion for evidence-based approaches in therapy prompted her to pursue a master of arts degree in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy. She went on to obtain advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman methods. She is fascinated by the affects of attachment and bonding on interpersonal relationships and has a deep commitment to helping people articulate and address the core issues with which they struggle. When working with children who have experienced trauma, she utilizes TF-CBT. Svetlana has her Perinatal Mental Health Certification and is passionate about supporting women, individuals, and families experiencing fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs), pregnancy/infant loss, TFMR, grief, adoption, and parenting stress. Svetlana is a mom who struggled with postpartum anxiety and OCD with both of her pregnancies, so she knows firsthand how shameful and isolating these experiences can be. Her goal is to support families going through similar challenges, and to provide a place where they feel heard, validated, and supported.
Svetlana has experience working with individuals, couples, children, adolescents, families, and groups in various settings. Svetlana’s specialties include working with individuals with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, experiences of trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), grief, bipolar disorder, anger management, divorce, marital distress, self-esteem, parenting stress, family conflict, women’s health, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy and infant loss, reproductive mental health, perinatal mental health, paternal mental health, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, school/career challenges, peer relationships, romantic relationships, life transitions, LGBTQ+ affirmative, and crises.
During both couples and individual treatment, she takes a compassion-based approach to foster understanding, safety, and hope. She has extensive experience working with diverse populations and welcomes individuals of every background into therapy. One of her main goals is to work collaboratively with clients in order to develop resiliency, foster re-connection, and build lasting trust and intimacy. She uses a combination of different evidence-based practices, collaboratively tailoring each treatment plan to the individual.
Svetlana provides a warm and calming presence that will help you feel safe to be yourself in your most authentic form. You can trust that she will be honest and direct when needed, while maintaining a supportive and compassionate stance. She has the ability to lean into moments when necessary, to foster positive changes in your life and to help you achieve your goals in therapy.

Rainuka is currently accepting new patients.
Rainuka hails from Canada where she focused on Indigenous Studies and Anthropology, earning her undergraduate degree in Intercultural Communications from the University of Victoria, British Columbia. She then earned a master’s degree in Clinical Counseling from Alliant International University in San Diego.
Prior to becoming a therapist, Rainuka spent years as a career coach and personal brand consultant for professionals who found themselves at a crossroads in their careers. Through this work, she learned that when people get stuck, it is often because they did not feel a strong sense of who they were, and what they really needed was someone to help them remember.
Rainuka grew up in a multiple heritage family and practices cultural humility and works collaboratively with each individual. She specializes in grief and loss, trauma, dating and sex after loss, caregiver burnout, perinatal loss, struggles with fertility, infertility, perinatal trauma, adoption, career counseling, anxiety, depression, and identity crisis. Rainuka’s goal is to support clients as they discover or rediscover their authentic self and life’s purpose.
Rainuka takes a client centered, collaborative and integrative approach to therapy. She is a certified domestic violence advocate and previously worked as a court appointed special advocate for foster children. She is also currently working towards her Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C.) She identifies as BIPOC clinician and is LGBTQ+ affirmative.
Rainuka’s own personal experience with fertility treatment, miscarriage, TMFR and adoption gives her a unique perspective into the reproductive trauma individuals and couples face while trying to balance the complex cycle of hope and despair.
When Rainuka is not working, she volunteers at The Elizabeth Hospice as a grief counselor. She lives with her husband and two sons in San Diego.

Rebecca is a Southern California native who attended San Diego State University where she earned a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. She has always had a passion for helping others and at one point planned on becoming a therapist herself. Through motherhood, starting and growing her own business, and caretaking those around her (including her many, many plants and cats), she fell in love with nurturing and supporting others, which has given her purpose, kept her grounded and fulfilled, and continued to keep her humble.
Rebecca joined the TGN team so that she could carry on and continue to do what she does and loves best—supporting others. In her role as office manager, she provides auxiliary support to the clinical team and all of our patients. Whether it be through administrative tasks, case management, or facilitating the referral and intake processes—Rebecca is your go-to gal! She handles all the details and logistics to coordinate care and ensure that everything runs smoothly.
When she is not working, Rebecca is hanging out with (and also still taking care of) her husband, two teenage sons, five cats, and her ever growing collection of nearly 200 houseplants (yes, 200!)
Rebecca is available to support you and answer any questions that you have, either via email or telephone.
