Therapists in Del Mar, CA
Selecting a therapist to trust can be daunting. As in any relationship, there must be a good match on many levels. New clients often ask me, "What is your technique?" In my twenty-five plus years of experience, I have learned not to apply a blueprint of "one-size fits all," but to focus upon the particular problems, and stressors that have brought you to seek help. My clients have expressed appreciation for my pro-active style; I am compassionate but not passive during sessions. My training in both hypnosis and mindfulness has given me unique tools to help my clients when appropriate.

I work with adults and teens. Clients come to me when they are looking to improve their overall sense of well-being -- body, mind and spirit. My treatment approach is non-traditional, and I work with people struggling to feel at home in their bodies and their lives. I help with chronic pain, anxiety, depression, infertility, Lyme Disease, pregnancy/postpartum issues, addictive behaviors, issues specific to Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), the effects of trauma, and people who just feel 'lost' and want to revamp their lives. If you've been told over and over that you are 'too sensitive' or 'too much', you are welcome here.

It hurts every day- despite you doing the best you can to distract yourself, the minute you stop pre-occupying yourself with distractions, you connect immediately with that emotional pain inside and the emptiness and alienation. The emotional pain comes from disconnection. You don’t feel your partner is responsive and present with you. You don’t feel wanted and needed or important. When you try to address this, it doesn't go anywhere, or you end up having a fight, which makes you feel even more devastated and distant from each other. You work so hard and give so much, you are still feeling not good enough and get no acknowledgement.

Therapy is a process that seeks change. Changing from one way of living to new way of being. At times, we all are overwhelmed by the demands of making key decisions. Living life well requires the development of fundamental tools for living well. Practical strategies now exist that many people never learned as a child. The fundamental skills include true emotional literacy, clarity over healthy personal self-regulation and habits, chosen activities and directions reflecting personal values, and learning how to relate to others with healthy boundaries and a mature ability for intimacy.

Life has a way of covering up our true selves. We can become buried under discouragement or past mistakes. There are dreams hidden behind unfulfilling jobs or low self-esteem, we just need to tap into all the wonderful potential on the inside. Just because you might have given up at one point, doesn't mean that your dream is dead forever. The great news is that it's still alive, and it’s never too late for you to uncover it. If deep down you know you're not satisfied with your life, you have the ability to make changes. You can dream any dream and see it manifest. You can live your best life possible.

Stress can be caused by many things: change, relationships, work, health, or trauma, to name a few. However it develops, it can take its toll on you physically and emotionally when not managed. I will help you cope with the emotional, physical, and social challenges of handling everyday stress, healing from a traumatic event, living with a medical condition (e.g., chronic pain/headaches, illness), or adjusting to a loved one's illness. I know people are resilient, and I will work with you to keep stress a manageable part of your life, instead of your entire identity.

Are you A GUY who feels confused and clueless about how to create a deeper emotional connection with your intimate partner? Perhaps just as important, is it possible for you to do that in a way that would not sacrifice your sense of masculinity?!? Not only is it possible for you to learn how to speak the Truth of how you feel in a way that will feel masculine, but it will also become a source of personal strength that will help you build a more mature and honest relationship with yourself and with the person you love. I have specialized in working with adult men for 35 years.
