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 and lovingly challenge you when needed. Therapy with me is a space to feel safe, reflect honestly, and start building a relationship that feels more aligned, connected, and authentic to who you are.

 

Many of the couples I work love each other deeply, but even in loving relationships, patterns around communication, conflict, or expectations can start to show up. My role is to help couples slow down, understand each other more fully, and strengthen the foundation for a lasting, connected partnership.

​

Through our work together, clients begin to feel more emotionally safe, more understood, and more equipped with tools that actually help them navigate conflict, communicate clearly, and build new relational patterns that leave both partners feeling loved, heard, and respected. ​

​​​

My clinical approach is collaborative and highly personalized. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities, including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family Systems, Attachment Theory, and Mindfulness, tailoring our work to fit your relationship, your goals, and your needs.

Research consistently shows that one of the most important factors in successful therapy is the relationship between therapist and client. Because of this, I prioritize creating a warm, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are, without having to perform, explain yourself, 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. Whether you're here for yourself or your relationship, I'll help you show up as you are and start making real progress.
