I am a clinical psychologist licensed in the State of California since 1993, with over 40 years' experience. I work with a variety of populations, including adults and adolescents, couples, and families. I am certified in EMDR, a type of therapy that treats people who feel "stuck" in a particular area of their lives or those with PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) following a traumatic experience. My office is easily accessible from Encinitas, Cardiff, Leucadia, La Costa, Olivenhain, Rancho Santa Fe, Vista, San Marcos, and Oceanside.
I believe that individuals have the power and inherent motivation toward healing, growing, and building healthy relationships. I see you as an active, involved participant in your own therapy; I am the facilitator of change. I practice within a holistic perspective, and see people as emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual beings.
My philosophy is that in the process of healing, adverse experiences in our lives can be reinterpreted as life lessons that can help us grow and even transform us. Then we can begin seeing events and people differently, leading us to living healthier, happier lives.
