“Having a secure bond with a loved one is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. It is what gives us the confidence to explore the world and the resilience to handle its challenges.”
-Sue Johnson
Sara Ruiz | Relationship Coach & Therapist
Hi, I’m Sara—a mom of three, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and a relationship coach passionate about helping parents create deeply connected homes. Nestled in the heart of California’s Central Coast, I specialize in Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Somatic Therapy to guide families through healing childhood wounds and fostering secure, thriving relationships.
As a mother, I know the overwhelming joy and immense responsibility that come with raising little humans. The weight of wanting to “get it right” can feel heavy, especially when our own childhood experiences resurface in the way we respond to our kids and partners. But here’s what I believe to my core: healing is possible, and connection is the foundation of everything.
