Therapists in San Diego, CA

I am a licensed psychologist who provides individual, couples, and group therapy. My primary theoretical approach is insight oriented psychotherapy for individuals working through relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and adjustment to transition through life's challenges. I believe healthy people seek therapy for a variety reasons throughout life, and psychotherapy can help you find a more genuine and integrated way of living and relating to others. I work collaboratively to recognize patterns and become aware of unconscious habits and choices that impact one's life and functioning.

I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant. I specialize in treating complex trauma, sexual trauma and the full spectrum of anxiety and stress disorders with EMDR. I am passionate about working with clients whom have been diagnosed with personality disorders, children or spouses of individuals whom have been diagnosed with personality disorders, victims of sexual abuse and survivors of incest abuse. Growth and healing is not just possible but attainable together. I approach every client as a whole and healthy being capable of unlimited growth regardless of a diagnosis or a severe history of trauma and pain.

I support people on their path to empowerment, emotional balance, and connection. With warmth and compassion, I provide an outside perspective free of judgment, and collaborate with you to work toward your goals in therapy. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed with a problem or have too much emotional investment in it to be able to see clearly. Perhaps you feel stuck or conflicted at a point in life and are unsure how to move forward. Or maybe you simply want a place to feel safe expressing yourself. Together we can sort through the obstacles you feel are hindering your growth and keeping you from living the life you want.

My “ideal client” if there is such a client is someone who has a desire to deepen their own self awareness. They have some insight into themself and is willing to explore the nature of the problem/s they are presenting with. This ideal client feels safe enough to be vulnerable to explore their own “shadows” (things about themselves that they deny or repress). They are also willing to challenge their own thoughts and belief systems. Feels safe enough to openly discuss any concerns they have about the course of treatment and our work together.

I am a bilingual, bi-cultural psychotherapist with the capability to provide therapy in both English and Spanish. I strive to provide a comfortable, judgement-free, therapeutic relationship with my clients in order to help them develop insight into their past and current struggles. I am very passionate about helping individuals process and heal their childhood wounds as they can have a huge impact throughout the course of our lives and can manifest in several different ways, such as, relationship issues, addictions, mental health struggles, and can also affect the way we transition into different stages of our lives.

It’s getting harder to make it through each day. Getting out of bed feels impossible. You used to have hopes and dreams, but they’re so remote now. At some point, this hopelessness and crushing loneliness enveloped you. Now all you can feel is an overwhelming sadness. You try to numb yourself, block out the feelings by binging on television, ice cream, and wine – it hasn’t worked. You can’t escape this heavy reality. You can’t run from your mind. Your very heart and soul are bone-weary and exhausted. Happiness seems impossible. You want to live differently, but you just don’t know how to get there...

Together, we can examine how your thoughts and emotions are impacting your daily life in either helpful or unhelpful ways.

We are made to be in a relationship with one another, however, there are times when those relationships can become fractured or go off course. Likewise, as individuals, we can also become fractured within and become off-course with ourselves. My passion is to work along side you to create meaningful and positive experiences leading to lasting and effective change.

Do you find yourself struggling in your relationships, worrying all the time, or dealing with depression? Perhaps you have a loved one struggling with similar issues. Facing these current struggles can be painful, scary and overwhelming, but you do not have to do it alone. I am interested in joining you to face these current struggles and find solutions tailored to your unique circumstance.

I want you to know that it takes a lot of courage to reach out for support. I enjoy working with adults of any age who struggle with experiences like anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and other challenges that make life difficult. I position myself through a strength-based, client centered lens in my therapeutic work and believe that one way we make meaning of our lives is through our beliefs and the stories we tell. My goal is to facilitate these encounters and empower you towards reaching personal success through collaboration and a non-pathologizing approach. My approach is warm, culturally sensitive, and judgment-free.

I enjoy helping clients reach their highest potential in life through strategic enhancement of their internal resources. My work is solution-focused and brief. I am an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) consultant and utilize this strategy with applicable individuals. Clients who are struggling with addiction, depression or anxiety, have experienced a recent loss, are recovering from a traumatic experience, or are struggling with a relationship issue are ideal clients for me. I primarily work with adults, adolescents, couples, and families on these types of issues. I can see you in-person or via teletherapy.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who specializes in eating disorders, trauma, depression and anxiety. Emotional pain is very real and there are times recovery seems unattainable. Don’t lose hope. Healing is achievable. Further, finding the right therapist is extremely important. Studies have shown the therapeutic alliance between therapist and client proves to be a stronger determinant of clients’ success than the modality of therapy practiced. I am an experienced therapist who provides the space for vulnerability and transparency without fear of judgment or rejection.
