Therapists in San Diego, CA

My goal as a therapist is to help you recognize your strengths, your ability to evolve. I would rather assist you in uncovering and learning how to use your own power than you feeling you are seeing me because I have all the answers. Your inner guiding intelligence has better answers and the ability to heal. We just have to connect you to that. Sometimes there are blockages inside us too, like boulders in the middle of our path. I can help you learn how to clear them so you can walk your own path and lead a more joyful, fulfilling life. I'm looking forward to meeting the wonderful you that you are.

Are you feeling down or anxious? Perhaps struggling with a transition and feeling stuck? As your therapist, I am invested in supporting you towards your goals and believe that you are the expert in your life and experiences. I am incredibly passionate about empowering individuals to reach their goals and become the best versions of themselves. I hope to provide you with the right tools and strategies that resonate with you as well as utilize your strengths to develop long-lasting solutions. We will collectively work towards your goals and build upon your existing strengths to help manage and cope with life's stressors.

Life is a series of obstacles in which we are challenged to grow in order to overcome. With a collaborative, holistic approach we can work together to achieve success in attaining your highest quality of life. I believe in the synergy between mind, body and spirit in order to create peace within. In a safe, loving, and unconditionally accepting environment I will work to help empower you to successfully navigate any concerns related to; relational distress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief and loss, addiction, physical and emotional abuse, self-defeating behavioral patterns, and any experienced mental and spiritual suffering.

I enjoy working with clients from all backgrounds. I believe therapy is a collaborative process with the overall goal to achieve healthier balance and desired goals. Life has many challenges and we can all benefit from some support and guidance during difficult times in our lives. In my practice, I have worked extensively with individuals, couples, and adolescents. I work with the insights gained in therapy so clients feel validated and accepted, in their journey to achieve the lives they want to lead.

People often feel vulnerable and overwhelmed when starting therapy. My approach to therapy is that therapy is a partnership between the client and the therapist. I believe it is important that we both are working towards the same goal and that you feel comfortable enough to be honest and open to my help. Creating a partnership will help the two of us make progress together and empower you to be aware of your own potential. I provide individual, couples, family and group therapies. All therapies focus on developing skills to make lasting change and to improve self esteem.

My experience has given me the privilege to work with adults of all ages and adolescents with co-occurring disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, addictive disorders, and some personality disorders. I have a passion for working with young people and their families to get through difficult times. I often work with folx who are survivors of trauma including PTSD and CPTSD. I am knowledgeable in many subcultures, sexualities and societal challenges that face many individuals.

Healing is an integral part of our journeys, and everyone deserves to live with a sense of peace & purpose. Yet many find it difficult to reflect on whether they are living in alignment with themselves and what they truly value. I have worked alongside individuals from all walks of life navigating through addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, and various life transitions. I also help adults and couples navigate through their journeys of infertility, pregnancy, adoption, and fostering. I would love to meet you, learn about you, and walk this journey with you as you find your path towards healing through peace & purpose.

“Treat the patient, not just the disease.” This mantra has always been an inspiration for my practice, as I truly believe that successful therapy is rooted in the positive, working relationships I form with my patients. If you are living with an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, or have family and/or marital issues, life might feel complicated and overwhelming. You may need a safe space to heal, explore yourself, and feel heard. My education & experience as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist has given me the tools to help empower people like you to create positive change and work towards achieving a state of well-being.

Do you feel constrained by the demands of your problem? Is it affecting your relationships, your profession, or your overall satisfaction with life? You hold the power to bring the change you seek.

I care...Let me help. We will create a safe, non-judgmental space from which to begin the process of healing. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families who have challenges in substance abuse, anxiety, depression, borderline personality issues and relationship problems. I also enjoy working with the LGBT community, specifically with Transgender people and their families. My rich life experience (fancy language for I'm older) allows me to truly align with partners and families that have members who are transgender and to be an ally with transgender individuals as they transition.
