Anxiety Therapists in San Diego, CA

I specialize in the psychology of men. I treat men experiencing sadness, control issues, stress, worry, and anger management. During my postdoctoral fellowship, I treated active military diagnosed with depression, anxiety , substance abuse, and PTSD by conducting both individual and group therapy. Working with active military, I learned how to gain the individual's trust and confidence to let me into their lives, providing a nonjudgmental space to process life's events. My research has concentrated on men's issues. My doctoral dissertation focused on professional boxers and how they adjusted to retirement once the fame and fortune was gone.

You're a people-pleaser, a peacemaker, a caretaker, a fixer, a perfectionist, and the best friend/partner/daughter/co-worker anyone could imagine. Yet somehow you feel burned out, secretly resentful of others that get their needs met, and uncertain of your own feelings, thoughts, and needs and what to do with them. Maybe you even know what to do but don't take the steps to get your needs met. You find yourself feeling anxious and depressed after years of going without getting your needs met and/or from unresolved trauma that you continue to ignore and hope will resolve itself.

Welcome! Finding a therapist that you connect with can be the first step towards healing and feeling better. Whether you're suffering from depression, anxiety , PTSD or just feeling stuck, therapy can offer many benefits. Sometimes there are just seasons in our lives that are more difficult than others. I believe that these seasons can provide insight and growth opportunities. If together we can look at what is causing your suffering, perhaps you can learn something about yourself and start to heal. But first you must start the journey. Say yes to that part of yourself that wants to heal.

As children, we were asked, "What would you like to be when you grow up?" We mostly answered " A Fireman! A Princess! A Teacher! A Policeman!"

Maybe you have been on a road of depression or substance abuse, struggling with anxiety , or hopelessness. Whatever it is you are facing, we can and will walk this road together. I would like to have the opportunity to walk with you on this journey to find and reach your potential in life
