Career Counseling Therapists in San Diego, CA
Some clients simply want to level-up their mindset to further their personal, relational or career goals.
My process is called the Breakthrough Process, where I coach my clients using a “do-with-you” process. I guarantee my client results within a 2-day intensive process using Rapid Therapy Techniques. I work directly with the subconscious mind to release generational trauma and “root” causes by replacing w/ positive thoughts and restoring the mind to wholeness.

Maybe you are navigating stressors related to your love life, career, balancing personal and family responsibilities, and feeling overwhelmed, anxious or depressed.
I am energized by working with queer BIPOC femmes who are navigating life and wanting to get in touch with the inner confidence that sometimes gets lost.

I welcome all parts of you as we go on this journey with the self-compassion and softness you deserve.
