"I am a mobile therapist for the elderly population through Coast Care Partners. I use a variety of techniques in my practice depending on the personality and needs of the particular client. I am compassionate and supportive. I have a Rogerian approach, but I am solution oriented."

"I am a strengths-based, innovative therapist with a passion for working with children and adolescents on their journey of self discovery and developing ways to cope with our chaotic world. For over a decade, I have helped clients with anxiety and mood disorders, as well as victims of various kinds of trauma and their families,and those that struggle with drugs and alcohol to cope with stress. My mission as a therapist is to empower you to create your most fulfilling life by confronting any challenges that you face and implementing the healthiest ways to manage your stress."

My training includes internships and Staff Psychologist positions at U.C.S.D. Psychological Services, and Supervising Psychologist at Scripps Behavioral Health.

"Eating disorder symptoms such as binge eating, purging, restriction and over exercising are only some of the many eating disordered behaviors we use to cope with life. These symptoms become a way to distract from our fears and unmet needs. Over time we can become lost in the ruminating thoughts of body image, calories, weight, clean eating and exercise."

"My approach to therapy relies on establishing an essential connection with my clients that fosters a collaborative effort tailored to their individual needs. To meet this goal, I will bring my compassion, insight, and expertise, as well as a varied set of treatment approaches. You will bring a thirst to know and understand yourself better and a desire to explore new ways to work through issues that are important to you. Together we will work to find resolutions to your concerns."

"I specialize in the psychology of men. I treat men experiencing sadness, control issues, stress, worry, and anger management. During my postdoctoral fellowship, I treated active military diagnosed with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and PTSD by conducting both individual and group therapy. Working with active military, I learned how to gain the individual's trust and confidence to let me into their lives, providing a nonjudgmental space to process life's events. My research has concentrated on men's issues. My doctoral dissertation focused on professional boxers and how they adjusted to retirement once the fame and fortune was gone."

"I believe that everyone has wounded places in their hearts that could benefit from counseling. Many people at some point realize that the challenges of life are too much to manage on their own and decide to seek help from a professional that can support them as they navigate the challenges that life can bring at times. My work is based on helping people to heal from the wounds of the past and deal with present stressors in an environment of safety and acceptance. My passion is to provide support as they work toward fulfillment in their lives."

"Within the safety of a therapeutic relationship healing and change can occur. With a compassionate and caring therapist this process can unfold. It's possible to become the person you desire to be. Even with a good set of change making skills we can feel stuck and unable to access a pattern that worked before or create a new pattern. In therapy you can clarify what is keeping you stuck and change from within. Relationships with self and others can improve as a result of the therapeutic process."

"Helping others through their personal journey of self discovery and life challenge is my lifes work. I believe that the true helping relationship is a partnership between myself and the client.

The helping and healing process is just that, a process. I look forward to the journey and all of the possibilities that hard work and commitment can bring."

"I truly believe we all have the resources within us to grow and heal. However, there are times we become "stuck" in life and overcome with fear or other factors.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma (Ie physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, DV, life adjustments, grief/loss).

Since 2010, I have provided individual, family and group therapy to youth and adults struggling with a wide array of mental health symptoms related to trauma, depression and anxiety, behavioral difficulties, safety concerns, and ADHD."

"Addiction is not a problem to be fixed, but rather a person. I have worked with many people with various addictions and realize that addressing one problem from one perspective is not enough. I specialize in getting to know a person first and then helping that person heal from past hurts, learn skills for problem-solving, improve communication, build strong relationships, practice ways to manage strong emotions, learn to slow down and change their harmful or intrusive thoughts, draw from their faith for strength, develop strong support systems, and with all this, hope of long-term recovery can become reality."

When working with youth, I believe it is essential to work together with parents and youth, as it takes the whole family to make lasting change happen."

""All the world is full of suffering, it is also full of overcoming"- Helen Keller. Life is full of obstacles, ups and downs, transitions, and changes; sometimes we need additional support to get through them.

Establishing a safe, caring, collaborative relationship is critical to therapeutic success and I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental and flexible environment. Utilizing a strengths-based approach, I focus on empowering you to make positive changes in your life and your relationships."

"In our first session together, I welcome you to my office and I invite you to make it your own safe space. I explain that therapy is a process, a relationship, and an adventure. It's also a gift of discovery and renewal that only you can give to yourself. In this process, my role is to listen, to support, to challenge, to guide, and to celebrate you as you are becoming more courageous to face the parts of yourself you were avoiding, more accepting of yourself and of others, and fully present in your life.."

"If you are feeling worthless or useless, lonely and having no friends, feeling anxious or fearful, feeling sad or depressed, insomnia or nightmares, insecurity, low-self esteem, you are the right person that I want to help. Perhaps, my struggles within my own life challenges and gave me a deep appreciation and gratitute to what life has to offer.

Indeed my life experiences helps me to become an effective and sympathetic therapist that you are looking for working through your adversity."
