Licensed marriage and family therapist Erica Keus Owens, MS, in Encinitas's Cardiff-by-the-Sea district holds California license LMFT #53613 and practices on San Elijo Avenue near Cardiff State Beach. Her psychodynamic and strengths-based approach addresses life transitions, relationship conflict, personal growth, and goal attainment, connecting to the mindfulness-based movement work at GOOD Yoga San Diego for clients integrating somatic awareness into therapy. Treatment spans individual counseling, couples therapy, and family systems work for children through adults, with a focus on identifying behavioral patterns and building on existing client strengths. The Cardiff-by-the-Sea office coordinates with complementary bodywork providers including North County Bodywork for clients whose relational stress manifests as musculoskeletal tension and somatic holding patterns. Advanced sessions involve psychodynamic exploration of attachment schemas formed in early relational experiences to restructure maladaptive interpersonal patterns in current partnerships and family systems.
