Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in San Diego, CA
I use a Depth Psychology approach to explore underlying patterns, meaning, and inner conflicts, while integrating CBT for anxiety, overthinking, and stress.
Using a Jungian and/or CBT orientation, we look beyond symptom management to understand the meaning behind what you’re experiencing. We pay attention to patterns, inner conflicts, instinctual signals, dreams, and the parts of you that may have been muted, overruled, or shaped by early environments, while remaining practical and responsive to current needs.

Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, and IFS, I tailor sessions to meet your needs.
Trauma, attachment wounds, and anxiety can shape the way you see yourself and the world, making it difficult to feel safe, connected, or at peace. You may find yourself stuck in patterns of self-doubt, fear, or emotional distress, unsure of how to break free. Since earning my LMFT degree from the University of La Verne in 2006, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals heal from these struggles, driven by a deep passion for supporting others through life’s challenges. Therapy offers a space to process past experiences, rebuild trust in yourself, and develop the tools to move forward with confidence.

This does 3 things that are great for therapy: (1) regulates the nervous system, (2) improves attention, (3) avoids eye contact, which reduces anxiety, frees up cognitive resources for processing emotions, and encourages authentic expression.
If you're reading this, you're likely worried about your son — maybe he's struggling to focus, manage big emotions, or keep up with daily routines. Parenting a neurodivergent teen can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying your best and still not seeing progress. You're not alone, and your family doesn't have to go through this without support. I offer a calm, judgment-free space where movement, creativity, and connection (without pressure) help teens feel safe enough to grow. If you're ready to take the first step towards support that meets your son where he is, reach out. I'd be honored to walk alongside your family.
