Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Escondido, CA
I'd say my upbringing inspired me from my home to school. I have seen and heard mental health being mentioned as important and encouraged to take care of. I'd say full circle of having gone to therapy, becoming a therapist, and providing therapy is rewarding in itself, I'd have to put a paragraph explaining why, so I'll leave it as that.
I look at therapy as a unique relationship that both mirrors and overlaps qualities of a good friend, parent, sibling, partner, etc., where both the therapist and client focus on tackling the concerns he/she presents in therapy.

For more than 30 years, I've worked with people at every stage of healing: those carrying wounds from childhood they've never named, those who have built successful lives yet still feel something is missing, people struggling with the ravages of addiction, and others who simply know life isn't working the way they'd hoped. I understand emotional pain—and I understand the path through it. I work with individuals seeking real, meaningful, and lasting change. I've spent my career helping people discover not only why they struggle, but how lasting change becomes possible through honesty, insight, accountability, and purposeful action.

I see therapy as a self-discovery process, in which a client seeks to solve problems in a safe and positive environment under the guidance of a professional. I believe that anxiety, depression and negative stress can be resolved more effectively, when there is understanding that basic steps must be taken to first stabilize one's life then one's passion and purpose in life can be addressed to find self-fulfillment. I especially enjoy working with adolescents and adults of all ages, who are in the midst of life transitions.

I have over 15 years specializing in helping children, adolescents and adults work through trauma.
Parenthood can be blissful and full of love. It can be an immediate bond and bring families together. It can also be scary, traumatic and isolating. Every journey from trying to conceive, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum parenthood has a story. I support individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, are overstimulated, or stuck in reactive cycles. You do not have to suffer in silence. You are not alone.
