Therapists in San Diego, CA

I am passionate about empowering children of all ages to make more thoughtful, informed choices in their life. I work with clients navigating grief/loss, anxiety, depression, anger, family changes, cultural and ethnic identity, medical traumas, and other challenges. Through therapy, children are provided with a nonjudgmental, safe space to process their experiences and develop skills and the opportunity to strengthen their psychological fortitude, self identity, and resilience through therapeutic interventions. All of this helps them to more effectively communicate their needs to supportive adults around them.

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 work collaboratively with individuals, couples, and families on a wide variety of issues, including relationship issues, anxiety, depression, PTSD, parenting, academic/work-related stress, identity development, acculturation, couple and family dynamics.

I'm happy you're here! Choosing healing is a courageous choice and it's my greatest privilege to support those who seek the path of healing their pain and coming back home to themselves. Healing is a journey of remembering again and again that we are whole. There is nothing that can truly separate us from this wholeness, not even our most profound pain or deepest wounds. In fact, the place of our deepest pain is the portal into our healing. I am an integrative, holistic, somatic therapist and coach seeking to shift the paradigm of mental health treatment away from pathology and toward the truth: our wounding does not make us broken.

Are you a highly intelligent person who struggles with stress, anxiety, past trauma or in connecting with others? As a therapist with nearly 15 years of experience, I specialize in working with gifted and twice-exceptional (2E) children, teens, and adults who face unique challenges in life and relationships. I can help you or your child to resolve existential crises, move through tough life transitions, and to feel more confident doing so. My clients are typically people who have intense interests ranging from logical to highly creative, and often value personal growth and are committed to investing in themselves.

Looking for a therapist of color who can help honor all the different cultures you identify with and represent? Because there is a huge blindspot in Western mental health, I take on a very intentional and holistic approach to helping you feel safe to unpack the many layers that make up You. Together, we can explore any past trauma (intergenerational, racial, childhood), learn how to express and regulate your emotions, reduce people-pleasing and over-functioning that often leads to burnout, improve your confidence, practice self-compassion/acceptance, and ultimately, your relationship with yourself and others.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Art Therapist who is interested in helping people grow, learn, and heal.

I am fascinated by the affects of attachment and bonding on interpersonal relationships and have a deep commitment to helping people articulate and address the core issues with which they struggle. I am currently working towards my PMH-C (Perinatal Mental Health Certification), as I am passionate about supporting women and families experiencing fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, pregnancy/infant loss, TFMR, grief, adoption, and parenting. I am a a mom who struggled with postpartum anxiety and OCD with both of my pregnancies, so I know firsthand how shameful and isolating these experiences can be.

Are there times when you cannot explain the overwhelming emotions you are experiencing. I enjoy helping those who are seeking change and are motivated to do so. I believe people should always work toward becoming their best selves. I work with individuals, families, children, and adolescents. If your family is suffering from functioning in a loving and happy manner and you cannot figure out where the problem lies, family therapy may be the right choice for you. From learning to function with a new baby, blending, or newly transitioning teenagers, I can help.

Way to go! You have already made the biggest leap towards your well-being. I would love to support you in your journey. Therapy is a very personal experience, and I want everyone who comes to me for help to know they’re accepted for who they are. I will unconditionally see the best in you, even if you are having a hard time doing that yourself. Since you know yourself best, I offer guidance for where you want to grow. We all have patterns that served us at one point or another, those patterns may not benefit you anymore but you're not quite sure how to unlearn them yet.

My approach combines traditional psychodynamics with newer neuroscience-based techniques, which incorporate the mind-body connection. As an avid researcher, I pull from 30 years of practice and study in various additional psychotherapeutic and health disciplines-incorporating nutrition and movement-based strategies, yoga, meditation, biofeedback, energy psychology and expressive arts. I work with all ages, having had the privilege of treating clients from the age of 4 to 95.

Life can be stressful for adults, and children too. I specialize in working with youth, families, and adults to process their past traumatic events and childhood abuse. I utilize a cognitive behavioral, integrative approach, with a trauma informed lens and an emphasis on evidence-based therapies. I know that it can be difficult to talk about these events. That is why in therapy we will work at your pace to identify the impact that your trauma has had on your daily functioning. You will learn skills that help you express and regulate your feelings, challenge negative thinking patterns, and build healthy relationships.

“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.

Individual therapy has typically focussed on: anxiety and depression, women’s issues, family struggles, trauma, physical and emotional abuse, neglect, phase of life issues, substance abuse, marital and relationship struggles, LGBTQ issues of gender identity, and major life transitions. Kathryn has also worked with teens facing a wide range of issues including: family separation, difficulty at school, substance abuse, anxiety and depression, peer pressure, self esteem and screen (social media/ games) safety.

I truly believe we all have the resources within us to grow and heal. However, there are times we become "stuck" in life and overcome with fear or other factors. I am passionate in working with children and adults in helping them recognize deeper/underlying issues or past traumatic experiences that can impair a person's function each day in various ways. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma (Ie physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, DV, life adjustments, grief/loss). I am trained in EMDR, a research-based treatment that facilitates the brain's own capacity to heal.
