I work with individuals, couples, children, and families from all backgrounds, with an enjoyment of people of color and those facing minority-specific mental health struggles. I know that trauma doesn’t affect us all in the same way—it can shape how we view the world, interact with others, and cope with daily life. That’s why I use a combination of trauma-informed techniques that are culturally sensitive, including DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), Trauma-Focused CBT, Sandtray Therapy, and Mindfulness.

City Heights East, San Diego, CA 92105
Are you seeking a couples therapist that specifically works with ADHD, autism, and mixed neurotype couples? That's me! I am neurodivergent myself, and I love exploring with couples how they can learn to communicate in ways that are affirming for each other's neurotype. Our neurotype (ADHD, Autism) affects the way we perceive the world, communicate, regulate our emotions, and the ways we express love. I am trained in couples therapy methods (such as the Gottman Method, EFT) and I work intentionally to make these methods neurodiversity affirming. I love to help couples understand each other and have those lightbulb moments!

Hi there, I'm Charity! With all the challenges life presents, coupled with the recent upheaval of our daily existence, prioritizing one's mental health is now more essential than ever. As we continue to adapt as a society to a "new normal", at times we may feel overwhelmed by a world that is constantly in a state of flux. Fear, anxiety, or a sense of powerlessness may sometimes engulf us and our ability to cope with a world that seems to lack consistency and stability.

You want to make peace with your past and enjoy the life you’ve built for yourself , but deep down you feel “not enough” and find yourself so overwhelmed that you are just going through the motions. You become irritable “for no reason” and your emotions often get the best of you, making you feel like a horrible person and impacting your relationships. Social interactions leave you exhausted from masking your feelings and overanalyzing everything you said or did. You often think to yourself "Is there something wrong with me?" and you have a sense that painful experiences from your past still affect your life today.
