Come As You Are. Let's Work Through It Together.

About Me
I'm Ariana (Dulberg) Soule, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #154059) based in San Diego, CA. I bring warmth, empathy, and a down-to-earth style to every session, with a dose of humor, because sometimes laughing really is part of healing. I won't sit back and nod. I'm here to actively support you, lovingly challenge you when needed, and help you build relationships that feel more aligned, connected, and authentic to who you are.
​
Many of the couples I work with love each other deeply, but even in loving relationships, patterns around communication, conflict, and unmet expectations can quietly take hold. My role is to help couples slow down, understand each other more fully, and strengthen the foundation for a lasting, connected partnership.
​
My clinical approach is collaborative and highly personalized. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, so I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Mindfulness- tailoring everything to fit your relationship, your goals, and your needs.
​
Research consistently shows that one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. That's where I begin. I prioritize creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, without having to perform, over-explain, or minimize what you're feeling.
​
My goal isn't just to help you feel better in the moment, it's to give you tools you'll use long after our work together ends. Clients leave with a clearer sense of themselves, strategies they can actually use, and new relational patterns that leave both partners feeling loved, heard, and respected.
​
I maintain a small, intentional caseload so that every client gets my full presence and attention. I'm selective about who I work with because I believe the right fit is everything. If we're not the right match, I'll always do my best to connect you with someone who is.
