Self Esteem Therapists in Serra Mesa, San Diego, CA

Seeking help can be a vulnerable and overwhelming experience for many people, and it is courageous to take those steps forward. This is why it is important to me to foster a non-judgmental, compassionate, and trauma-informed approach to help guide your journey of growth and healing. As a therapist I aim to create a safe place with unconditional positive regard to empower you to reach your goals.

Being human is not a simple experience, and reaching out for help along the way can be challenging. If you are reading this and think it’s time to ask for support, I see your courage and confidence and it would be an honor to join your journey. Whether you want to work through harrowing events and memories or learn new coping skills and prioritize your mental health, you deserve a time and place to do that. I intend to hold a warm, non-judgmental space to create an emotionally safe environment for growth, empowerment, and reconnecting with your inner self.

OOO 6/30-8/1. Do you feel like you keep making the same mistakes in your dating relationships? Do you find that when you finally get the committed relationship you thought you wanted, you feel insecure in ways you didn't expect? Everything we feel and react to is sparked by our interpersonal interactions. When those interactions cause self-defeating reactions, you can feel insecure, lonely, and defeated. I want to help you change your patterns. I help people calm the chaos in their mind and their life. You will learn that you can manage your life (relationships, family, career) with strength and confidence.

Life can be stressful for adults, and children too. I specialize in working with youth, families, and adults to process their past traumatic events and childhood abuse. I utilize a cognitive behavioral, integrative approach, with a trauma informed lens and an emphasis on evidence-based therapies. I know that it can be difficult to talk about these events. That is why in therapy we will work at your pace to identify the impact that your trauma has had on your daily functioning. You will learn skills that help you express and regulate your feelings, challenge negative thinking patterns, and build healthy relationships.

Let’s cast aside labels, the idea that something is “wrong with you”, and instead honor the multidimensionality of our humanness and desires for change. Imagine an enriching life that is the embodiment of peace, joy, abundance, authenticity, connection, and living your truth. This is possible for you and it would be an absolute honor and a privilege to walk alongside you in your journey.

"To the world you may be one person but to one person you may be the world"(Author unknown). When we are facing daily challenges in our lives, it can be difficult to see that we are loved, have a positive mindset, be grateful, feel good about ourselves, smile or have the motivation to do things which can negatively impact our daily functioning and relationships with others. My hope is that through therapy you will learn how to overcome these obstacles in order to become the best version of yourself and realize how important you are in this world.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or overwhelmed? Our various experiences can have an impact on this; from day to day stressors to trauma, our emotions can become difficult to manage, resulting in difficulty in our lives, including in our relationships, in managing emotions, in our thoughts, in our goals, and in our responsibilities.

All of us experience times in our lives when a little help is needed.
