Meritain Health Therapists in Encinitas, CA
As an associate therapist, I work with adults and young people experiencing complex trauma, PTSD/PTSI, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. I'm passionate about guiding people through trauma processing by creating space for healing that leads to a more peaceful and fulfilling life. My own life experiences have provided a deep understanding of what it means to face hard things, and I bring this empathy into every therapy session. I earned a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix, and am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's most difficult moments.

I am licensed in CA, AZ and MN and can provide IN-PERSON in Minneapolis or Telehealth in all 3 States. Who doesn't want freedom in all aspects of life? I believe that true freedom comes from transformation of self from the inside out. We are not on this planet to struggle, rather to find the courage to let our light shine. If you feel stuck in your relationships, career or family; if inner peace and contentment elude you; if you feel lost and overwhelmed but aren’t sure why; if you feel that others got the instructions on how to do life but you missed the memo, perhaps it is time for a change. Life is short. You are worth this.

Our work together may look like shared laughter at times, facing difficult feelings, and exploring the social cultural and political forces that shape us.

Your mental health doesn’t have to wait. Onsite childcare available for sessions.
If you've been putting everyone else's needs before your own, you're not alone. As a therapist and a parent myself, I know how easy it is to keep telling yourself you'll focus on your own mental health "when life slows down." For many of us, that time never seems to come.

Hello, and firstly, kudos to you for taking the first steps (or more if returning to therapy) on reaching out for support! Whether it is part of your self-journey, or to connect with your family, partner, or spouse, it takes courage, vulnerability, and commitment to ask for help. This is especially true within the chaos of our lives and the social pressures to put on the multiple hats (Parent, Partner, Child, etc.) that we wear. Therapy for me is about caring for the human facing me, and offering the space where we can collaborate together to find your lost stories, while respecting each persons authentic experience of life.

Trauma, anxiety, and addiction can make you feel stuck. The most important step towards healing is to address the unresolved emotion inside you. Healing requires feelings. Acceptance slowly dissolves pain. When we function from the fear and scarring of our trauma, the cycles continue until we learn how to transmute that energy into love. I apply a Holistic approach that integrates physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual forms of well-being, addressing the “whole” self. Through a holistic framework tailored to your unique needs, the goal is to support you develop a deeper understanding of the self on all these levels.
