"What if you spoke to a friend, the way you speak to yourself? Our internal dialogue facilitates how we feel, what we do and what opportunities come to us. Sometimes our internal dialogue is preventing us from getting to the next level in our relationships, lifestyle and careers. When our biggest critic is between our ears- there is no way we can get to our most authentic selves! My approach has both acceptance and challenge, and is meaning/value focused. It is unique to YOU, meeting you where you are emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Let me help you make sense of that internal dialogue and move through it."

"Currently accepting new clients! Are you experiencing emotional pain or anxiety in your day to day life? Overwhelmed by relationship tension? Or do you simply need to process life challenges? I can provide a safe space for you to process ongoing mixed emotions and life events. I realize how much our families and relationships affect and mold who we are. I believe that everyone has the strength within them to heal, and that everyone is capable of change."

"My approach to therapy is both collaborative and holistic: assessing clients' needs and meeting clients where they are in their individual, therapeutic, and life journeys. My goal is to work together with clients to help them gain a new sense of awareness and understanding into their presenting concerns and life struggles, whilst providing a safe, secure, non-judgmental, and culturally-sensitive environment to help clients meet their goals. I view the therapy relationship as an essential part of working with clients."

"Are circumstances, relationships, or mental wellbeing preventing you from getting the most from life? A full and meaningful life is your right by birth. Consulting a psychologist can help unblock your career, relationships, and lead to realizing your perfect life. Therapy can be brief, sometimes a course adjustment is all that's needed to get back on track. Sometimes taking a more holistic view and working through multiple areas of your life can provide time to heal, uncover hidden strengths, and empower you to live the life you envision. If you feel stuck, or have anxiety/trauma, that is keeping you from enjoying life, please call."

"I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on underlying relationship issues to help my clients experience a deeper sense of connection. If you have struggled with issues of trust, infidelity, constant fighting, family issues, low self-esteem, or feelings of disconnection, my style of therapy can help you discuss the themes that fuel the arguments and stand in-between connection. In a typical session, we can "map out" negative communication patterns and implement tools for some immediate relief so that you don't need to be in therapy long term."

""Permitame ayudarle a encontrar balance en su vida”. I am passionate about helping people.

"My mission as a therapist is to create a safe and nurturing space for you to be fully seen and heard in order to work through challenges that are keeping you stuck from living a more meaningful and satisfying life. Whether it is issues that stem back to childhood or recent life transitions, we all have experiences that require healing and growth. No matter what our stories are and what change we want to make in our lives, I believe there is nothing more powerful than to do that in connection."

"Athletes, from high school to professional, current to former, if you or someone you know struggles with sports performance anxiety or addiction, let me help! As a former collegiate athlete and current sports junkie, I understand the complexities that a student or professional athlete experiences: pressures of in-game performance, anxiety of future college decisions, maintaining academic performance along with athletic pressures, life transition after sports career ends. All of these can produce intense anxiety and addiction which can cause shameful, intrusive thought patterns. I focus on combating shame by identifying strengths, expanding coping strategies, and understanding family patterns."

"What is the story you want to tell with your life? This is a question that both challenges me personally and defines my work as a therapist. Sometimes it can feel like our circumstances define us. When we are overwhelmed by anxiety, relationship issues, and the burdens of past trauma, it becomes so easy to forget what we want our lives to look like and who we want to be. When we get to this place, we often lose hope. I work with each of my clients to find what old stories are keeping them stuck and begin to discover new ways to promote well being in life direction and mental health. "

"I am trained to help adults, adolescents, men, women, couples, families, and professionals to cope with a wide variety of emotional, relational and personal challenges, such as stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, acculturation, self-esteem, and eating disorders. If your feeling overwhelmed, out-of touch with yourself or generally unhappy and enjoy a genuine conversation with another person willing to reach out to help, than I believe we would be a good fit. I developed an eclectic and culturally sensitive approach to therapy, heavily influenced by humanistic/existential, positive psychology, CBT, and expressive art therapy."

"Are you a professional, entrepreneur or educator who has achieved a certain level of success by being a perfectionist or a chronic people pleaser? Have these characteristics served you in achieving success, yet proven to be boundaries to your happiness? Despite your level of success, do you feel like an imposter or fraud? Do you compare yourself to others, and often feel unworthy or not good enough? As a result are you prone to exhaustion, anxiety, depression or burnout? Are you ready to stop caring so much what other people think, and start living your own authentic life?"

"I hold compassion for those who struggle with OCD: the persistent, unwanted, intrusive obsessions, the sometimes paralyzing anxieties, the compulsive thoughts, actions, rituals, avoidances meant to neutralize bad thoughts. I also have an understanding of how often OCD can be misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and the shame and stigma sufferers sometimes feel. Most of my work involves helping people gain control over their OCD and process associated traumas. I also work with related issues, such as BDD, Emetophobia, social anxiety, unwanted habits. I combine a sensitive, client-centered approach with science-backed therapeutic techniques."

"I specialize in working with individuals struggling with weight loss and weight management. I provide an alternative strategy to weight loss based on cognitive therapy that allows people to change their life and their relationship with food, instead of just dieting. Treatment focuses on emotional eating, restructuring routines, and utilizing self-talk to be realistic in eating and exercise behaviors. As a licensed personal training, I am also able to provide customized workout programs for clients to coincide with their weight management program. No more dieting! For anyone outside of San Diego, I offer weight loss coaching via Skype sessions!"

I am available to support your family through the journey of adolescence and can provide you with valuable information about your child's learning abilities and emotional functioning and tools to navigate the education system. You are not alone. I am here to support you."

"In my work with families, couples and individuals, I have found that happiness lies in having rich, caring relationships with people that we love. To develop loving and caring relationships requires skill and compassion. My job is to offer insight and awareness as to ways to develop these kinds of relationships. I find that my clients demonstrate an openness, courageous spirit and perseverance to achieve this goal. I have been blessed to work with many people who have taught me what it is to be human. It has always been my desire to give back what I have received."

"The personal journey that we walk throughout our lives will inevitably bring about difficult experiences, particularly when we feel alone in what we are facing. As your therapist, my goal is to provide you with a trusting and safe relationship, seeking to help you understand the challenges and possibilities for change within your life, while also helping you navigate through uncertainties. While utilizing solution-focused approaches in therapy that attend to the dynamics of your inner life, my commitment is to support your emotional growth while emphasizing the possibilities for positive change."

"I believe the basis of a successful psychotherapy experience is a warm, empathic and non-judgmental connection where clients feel understood, supported and accepted.
