Meritain Health Therapists in Bonsall, CA
When life feels overwhelming or relationships begin to feel strained, it’s easy to lose sight of your own needs. You might find yourself caught in cycles of self-doubt, irritability, or withdrawal—struggling to manage the emotional weight of depression, anxiety, or past trauma. With over three decades of experience and a background in child psychology, I draw from my MA from Western Carolina University and a MYSPY from Oklahoma State to support teens and adults navigating these difficult patterns.

Knowing firsthand how transformative therapy can be, I became a mental health clinician to help others uncover their inner strength and navigate life’s challenges. I hold a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) from the University of San Francisco (2020), specializing in Counseling Psychology, and I support teens and adults (16+) facing anxiety, trauma, and identity-related concerns. I’m continually inspired by the resilience I witness as clients heal, gain clarity, and move toward lives that feel more grounded and aligned with who they truly are.

Anxiety can leave you overthinking conversations, questioning your role in relationships, or feeling unsettled during life transitions. I hold a Master’s in Counseling (MC) from Palo Alto University (2021), and my path into this field began with my own desire to better understand myself and the dynamics of relationships through personal therapy. That experience inspired a genuine commitment to sit with adults (18+) in vulnerable moments, and I remain continually inspired by clients and colleagues as I deepen the care I provide.

Trauma can leave you feeling constantly on guard, disconnected from yourself or others, or caught in patterns that are hard to name. You may notice parts of you shutting down, taking over, or feeling far away, especially if you’ve lived through complex or ongoing trauma. I earned my MS from California State University, Northridge in 2011, and my clinical focus has centered on understanding how trauma shapes the nervous system, identity, and sense of safety. I help adults navigating C-PTSD, PTSD, and dissociation begin to make sense of their internal experiences and reconnect with a steadier sense of self.
