Career Counseling Therapists in San Diego, CA
My specialties include using culturally-responsive evidence-based practices to help you address sociocultural and systemic challenges, depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, codependency, career and performance challenges, coping skill development, grief, near-death experiences, chronic illness and health challenges, chronic stress, and men’s issues.
Are you feeling frustrated, confused, stressed, depressed, or lost? Living a human life means learning to live with the human condition and the challenges that arise as a result - mortality, relationships, conflict, emotionality, suffering, and change. Therapy can help you adapt and adjust to experiences that can often be challenging and confusing; experiences that you may not always have the skills or insight to address. Therapy is meant to be a safe environment for you to process your experience of life to get emotional support, helpful feedback, and a healing perspective.

In my career, I've worked in hospitals, clinics, home health and hospice, and I ran a substance abuse program in the prison system.
When life's challenges like work, relationship or money troubles, illness or injury become too much to manage, or when the pain of the past pops up when you least expect it to disrupt sleep, or when daily stressors build up and make it hard to cope, that's when more than a friendly ear is needed. That's when a professional therapist can help you heal the compounding effects of the difficult to manage life experiences.

Additionally, I work with people carrying the burden of grief and loss, not only of the deceased, but job loss, relationship dissolution, and other major losses in life.
People who come to me for help often report feeling drastically different and more in-control of their daily lives after just a few sessions. My approach brings about lasting change and empowers my patients to make decisions that are in their own best interest. In each meeting, we will work collaboratively to establish a path toward clearly-defined goals. If you often find yourself reacting to a situation in an unseemly manner, then wonder "Why did I just do that?" I believe you have the answer, and I can help you find it. See my TEDx Talk to get a better idea of my personality! Search "Jingle All the Way" and my name.

I have experience supporting people with depression, anxiety, career changes, relationship challenges, non-monogamy, grief, gender and sexuality exploration, chronic illness, religious trauma and neurodivergence.
Being a person in this world can be exciting, painful, scary, and awe-inspiring (sometimes all at once!) and I’m here to hold space for the paradoxes and messiness of life. My intention is to help you reclaim and accept the parts of yourself that you’ve learned to disown — and we all have those parts. I believe that with the right support, everyone has the ability to move toward more ease and connection. I feel strongly that boxes and assumptions have no place in the therapy room. I’m dedicated to creating a space where all aspects of your identity will be recognized and can be safely explored.

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. Especially for those who are children of immigrants or first generation cycle breakers - we can struggle with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, betrayal of boundaries, or an unfamiliar relationship to self. I welcome all parts of you as we go on this journey with the self-compassion and softness you deserve.
