Adults Therapists in Vallecito, CA

Life, parenting and relationships don't come with manuals. We often need some help to navigate these waters effectively and to achieve the best quality of life. I provide a non-judgmental, compassionate environment where you can feel safe to explore the challenges currently facing you. Therapy can and does help you change your life. The sooner you make the decision to begin therapy, the sooner you can expect to see progress towards a happier, more fulfilled life. My therapeutic focus encompasses counseling for couples, families, and individual counseling for adults and teens.

ONLINE SESSIONS NOW AVAILABLE. I help adults recover from childhood and adult trauma with the use of body centered therapies. Unresolved trauma often negatively affects our relationships, careers, and physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual health. People who have experienced trauma are often doing the very best they know how to deal with the emotional and physiological response to what has happened to them. People often don't realize the struggles they are having in their lives can be linked to things that have happened in the past. They try to change their behavior with little to no success, or easily fall back into old habits.

Therapy can be a truly transformative experience. If you are suffering from the impacts of trauma, feel like you've lost your sense of self, are burdened by stress, worry, depression or low self-esteem and are ready for healing, I can help. If you and your partner are struggling and would benefit from an unbiased third party to help navigate the intricacies of your relationship, I can help. Therapy is a journey, and together we will identify and create meaningful goals for treatment to bring greater fulfillment to your life.

I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing transitions: divorce, separation, a new diagnosis of a mental illness or chronic physical illness, coming out as an LGBTQ individual, and discovering you have a child with a learning disability, ADD/ADHD, or a child on the autism spectrum. I also enjoy working from the perspective of narrative therapy, because we always have the opportunity to "rewrite" our life story at any time. Part of therapy is rewriting our life story and narrative, and I greatly enjoy being part of this rewriting process with clients.

Many of us struggle with worry, sadness, or overwhelming circumstances and want to improve our well being so we can pursue what’s important to us. If you are having difficulty seeking support because of work, transportation, childcare, or other barriers, I provide therapy sessions via a secure video chat program, which can be accessed in the privacy of your own home. If you are motivated for change, I look forward to working with you.

I believe every good therapist has done their own work. I have been a therapy client at different times throughout my life. I don’t ask my clients to do anything I haven’t done myself. Together we will work to identify the best approach to healing for you.

You may feel that in the midst of your life's demands (career, parenthood, relationship, money) you have arrived at a crossroads and feel stuck. Many people have been there before you, and NOW IT'S YOUR TURN. The choice is yours. Some have given up and others continue to "just get by". Another group has said, "I want to make this an opportunity to understand myself, my choices, patterns and change them for the better." I believe that committing the time and energy to work on life difficulties and understand yourself better is a good choice for most people.

This is REAL LIFE! Life is hard and sometimes it stays that way. If you want a change, CALL ME. I offer cutting edge EMDR therapy that helps most people experience positive change. Anxieties that keep you from enjoying activities are lessened and manageable. Baggage that you bring to relationships can be processed, so you can enjoy authentic relationships in the present. Crappy childhoods DO NOT have to dictate your future. I can help you get permanent relief.

After doing some self exploration did you realize deep down you are struggling with worry, stress, low self-esteem, trauma, or just every day functioning? Do you feel out of balance and overwhelmed with work, home, or in your relationships? Then you have taken a step in the right direction. I have a passion for working with children, first responders and their families, and anyone who is ready to start making changes to live a fulfilling and purposeful life.

If you are looking for a therapist with over 30 years experience and that regularly conducts consultations for other therapists, you might want to take a look at my specialties. Most people are heading in the right direction, but it is like they are driving this road of life with two wheels off the road. They just can't get up to speed. I love helping people, like you, figure out what keeps you from getting up to speed and how to move past those issues like PTSD / TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCES, ADDICTIONS, MARITAL DISCORD, ANXIETY and DEPRESSION.

Depression. Anxiety. Failing relationships. Trauma. Those words may look intense on the page, but if you are experiencing any of these conditions yourself, you know exactly how devastating they can be for your life, your relationships, and your happiness. If you recognize yourself in any of those words, I want you to know that you're not alone in these struggles…and talking to a therapist can help.

What We Do... Every person holds unique experiences, stories, and gifts. Due to trauma or other concerns, our experiences can turn into intolerable burdens. When this occurs, our thoughts can become negative, relaying disheartening messages to us. Overwhelmed, our minds and bodies become depressed, anxious, or hurt. Imagine, however, that our suffering carries meaningful messages. Through therapy that seeks to support and honor our life experiences, we can learn to express, befriend, and transform our uncomfortable symptoms. "In order to change what is, we need to give speech to what has been, to imagine what might be." Adrienne Rich
