Aetna Therapists in San Diego, CA
I view therapy as one of the different and many ways we can attend to and take care of ourselves. My approach to therapy begins by getting to know the individual from the start and then building a plan together. I think people are the experts of their stories and the challenges they face and can rarely be understood without considering the environment they are in or have come from. With this knowledge and framework, I aim to get to know people and their strengths while identifying their unique needs and goals. I incorporate approaches from Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, Mindfulness, and Family Systems.

Sometimes it's hard to name exactly what's wrong—you just know something feels off in your relationships or how you see yourself. Old attachment wounds or unresolved trauma can show up as chronic self-doubt, emotional reactivity, or a constant need to stay guarded. What’s been most rewarding in my years as a therapist is witnessing the powerful changes that happen when people commit to their own healing. I earned my Master’s of Science in Counseling from the University of Phoenix in 2014 and have since supported adults 18+ in understanding and reshaping the patterns that keep them stuck.

Everyone encounters challenges and new situations in life. We all want to meet these challenges with confidence, and hope to have acquired the necessary skills along the way to do so. Occasionally, however, we find that the tools that once worked for us no longer do. We may then feel frustrated, unsure of ourselves and have difficulty moving forward. These very challenges, however, help us grow, develop a greater awareness of ourselves and others, and empower us to make good choices. A caring and experienced therapist can help with these challenges...

When your relationships feel strained, or anxiety and depression start coloring everything, it is easy to lose sight of your own voice. You might feel stuck, unheard, or unsure how things got this hard. What drew me to this work was a fascination with how people develop and grow, and what keeps me here is helping people reclaim their power and speak up for what they need. I earned my MFT from Pepperdine University in 2017, and I work with adults 18 and older. I believe everyone deserves to feel in control of their own mental health, and that real growth is possible at any stage of life.

If you're part of the LGBTQIA+ community, you've found a therapist who understands—intimately and empathetically—what it means to navigate a world that often wasn’t built with us in mind. I am committed to walking alongside Queer and trans individuals as we make sense of our identities in a cisnormative, heteronormative, and increasingly hostile political climate. Together, we can explore what authenticity means for you, especially in contexts that may not yet feel safe or supportive.
