Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Clairemont Mesa, San Diego, CA

Are you feeling stuck, unsatisfied in life?  Do you feel like each day is a fight because you are overrun by sadness, anxiety, hopelessness, and anger?  Regardless of your circumstances, please know that you have come to the right person.  My name is Dr. David Jaffe and I am a licensed clinical psychologist that has worked in the mental health field for over 20 years. I can help you to cope with negative emotions more effectively, reduce stress, improve sleep, focus, overall health and well being, reach personal/professional goals, reduce interpersonal conflict, and cope with past trauma more effectively.

I work to make you feel safe, heard and validated with what you are going through. I am personable, empathetic and I understand how challenging life experiences can contribute to feelings of anxiety and depression and can leave us with self-doubt, negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity. I collaborate with you to identify previous influential and traumatic experiences that are currently fueling your symptoms and impacting your current functioning. The ultimate goal is for you to decrease your symptoms so that you can live your most authentic, satisfying life and be your best YOU!

You’ve gone through pregnancy and the moment to meet your first newborn baby has arrived. As a new mom, thoughts run in your head like, “how do I take care of this baby when I can’t take care of myself,” “my body feels broken,” “I haven’t slept,” “this is how it is, so I just have to figure it out.” You feel overwhelmed and question if you’re a good mother when you go back to work. At the end of the day, you just want to feel supported and know that you’re still you as you experience being a mom. You decide what works for you and your family and not to live based on “you should do this or you’re supposed to do this.”

You are feeling overwhelmed with all the changes in your life. Maybe it’s adjusting to marriage, parenthood or dealing with postpartum. Maybe the spark has left your marriage and you've started having an affair, or you're feeling upside down having just discovered your partner is having an affair. Maybe you just got divorced and feel like you lost your identity. Or you're worried about the impact the divorce will have on your children. Whatever it is, you feel like you have no one to turn to, no one to confide in, and your mind is filled with racing thoughts.

Do you struggle with anxiety? Do you use substances to help manage anxiety? Are you worried that you're drinking or eating or using too much to cope with stress and anxiety? Are you a family member of someone with anxiety and/or substance use and aren't sure what to do?

Life is full of unexpected turns and challenges, and you’ve been trying to push through the barriers on your own for a while now. You’ve sought out various ways to make yourself feel better temporarily, but haven’t found something that brings long-term relief. Sometimes, despite your great effort, those overwhelming feelings of loneliness, fear, and helplessness continue to persist. If you're struggling with emotional pain, you don't have to deal with it all alone. What you need may be a safe space where your difficult feelings can be worked through and your authentic self can be seen, understood, and accepted.
