Therapists in Nipomo, CA

I use mindfulness-based approaches to help clients recover from anxiety, depression, and trauma. By utilizing the latest information provided by neuroscience along with my 20+ years of meditation and mindfulness-oriented practice, I teach clients how to recover well-being.

I specialize in treating survivors! So many of us have endured abuse, trauma or self induced addictions. Many of us are haunted by our past or stuck in our current situations. How do we balance our hectic lives emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually? How do we find peace, happiness and fulfillment, or at least the absence of anxiety and depression? If you are not happy with your life, sometimes a little help is all it takes. Let me assist you in doing more than just surviving, but in thriving and finding your best life!

To be human is to know trouble and beauty. Much of the time we deal effectively with life's ups and downs. Other times, our resources can be overwhelmed by a major event or loss. Even expected transitions can present a crisis, contributing to depression and anxiety. Lifelong concerns among family members, such as poor communication and/or conflicts, can be improved no matter your stage of life.

Life at times can be challenging, be that from depression, anxiety, difficult relationships, abuse, aging, work, chronic health problems, co-dependency, low self-esteem, grief, to our own destructive behaviors we can't seem to change. I have experience working with all of these, but helping those going through major life transitions, stress, feeling overwhelmed, and co-parenting after divorce or separation are some of my specialties. I like working with clients who are seeking change and ready to embrace the process of self-exploration and healthy alignment to reduce inner conflict and learn new ways of being in this world.

Are you feeling stuck in your life, like you are going nowhere fast, but don’t know why? EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting can help you break free from old patterns that no longer serve you keep you stuck. I specialize in both approaches, and they work fast, so you can get back to enjoying your life. These approaches can help you resolve traumas, move you past performance anxiety (e.g., in sports or the arts), and help with depression, anxiety and other issues that impact your quality of life.

Are you feeling anxiety, despair, or mood swings that make it difficult to function or cope? Are you trying to navigate relationship challenges and can’t seem to figure out what is wrong or how to fix things? Are you having trouble finding a therapist who deeply, truly understands what it feels like to have depression, anxiety, or mania? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, I am here for you and I may be able to help. For private pay clients you may request a Good Faith Estimate for the anticipated cost of services.

Accepting NEW Clients: In-person and telehealth services available.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering evidence-based treatment for anxiety and related disorders, attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder, and autism spectrum disorder, with children, teens, and their parents. My framework is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Applied Behavior Analysis.

Therapy is a process of healing, growth and change. The aim is to achieve lasting growth by helping you find ways of seeing, thinking and feeling that leave you more capable and prosperous. My passion is to help children, teens, couples and adults build on their strengths to reach their full potential. My style is compassionate, nonjudgmental and interactive.

I treat clients who are experiencing depression, anxiety, life stressors and transitions. I enjoy working with adults and couples who are experiencing all types of issues. Dealing with parenting and adolescence can be challenging, but these are the types of challenges I embrace. Whatever your issues or goals are in therapy, I can provide an integrated way of helping you due to my educational background and varied life experiences.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming, relationships or family can feel broken or full of tension and fighting. Sometimes in life we can feel disconnected and struggle to find joy, peace, calm and serenity. Sometimes struggles, problems or relationship issues begin to disrupt our thoughts and daily life and damage relationships. If you are looking for hope in your life, family, and/or relationships... If you are tired of the anxiety, depression, fighting and tension with your partner, family or teens... if you feel like you've lost control it's time to seek help and therapy. I offer Tele Health in CA and TN.

We may often find ourselves trying to cope with our struggles on our own - and we might make it work for a while, but over time we can become exhausted, worn down, and confused. I believe reaching out and seeking therapy is a powerful way to support and care for ourselves. In therapy, we acknowledge our challenges, explore our stories & strengths, and learn new skills to promote change, healing, growth and resilience. My goal as a therapist is to create an environment that is open, welcoming, affirming and supportive, building a safe space for you to work towards feeling better, feeling more connected, and being your best self.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, therapy can help you manage your emotions, get you through the tough times and create a direction/focus while maintaining control of your life. Therapy is a confidential and joint process to explore and address concerns and/or fears that you may be experiencing. Our goal is to help you resolve these issues as quickly as possible at the same time building knowledge and skills that will allow you to cope in the future.

Now accepting new clients! I believe that every person strives to find meaning and fulfillment in life, and I consider myself privileged to help others walk that journey. As a licensed therapist, I have worked with clients with diverse backgrounds and a range of issues--from relational struggles to severe and persistent mental illness. My treatment approach is collaborative in that I work with you, the expert of your own story, to identify goals, personal strengths, and specific strategies you can employ. My hope is that you will find therapy to be transformative and empowering, giving you tools you can use throughout life.

Untreated emotional pain can lead to destructive behaviors, ruin relationships, and make life feel rather miserable. You are here to feel better and I can help. I use EMDR for most all of my clients. This method of therapy clears away painful, repeating thoughts and memories. EMDR is a "feel good" therapy as we transform the problems, abuse, self hate or traumatic events into the past. We can significantly reduce anxiety, build confidence, improve body image, and so much more! My goal for you is to launch a new strength, enjoy happy relationships, feel love and appreciate yourself. It is possible to get the results you desire.
