Sexual Abuse Therapists in San Diego, CA
Maybe you’ve been feeling overwhelmed by big emotions, stuck in patterns that don’t make sense, or unsure how to support your child through something hard. Whether you’re a young adult navigating growing pressures, a teen trying to make sense of your world, or a parent holding more than your share, it can feel like no one really gets it. I’ve been there too—in the messy, complicated parts of life where just having someone truly listen can make all the difference.

My ideal clients are adults who feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, OCD, depression, or relationship stress and want more than just short-term relief—they want to understand themselves and create lasting change. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially with someone new, so I aim to create a warm, down-to-earth space where you feel safe being real. With a trauma-informed approach (and a little humor along the way), we work together to untangle unhelpful thought patterns, reconnect with your values, and build a life that feels more meaningful and manageable.

I know how hard it can be to open up to a new person. Trust between you and your therapist is key for successful treatment and I want to help ease the transition. In the session we will work to unpack how you are managing emotionally, cognitively, physically, spiritually, and socially. My training has focused on high functioning individuals who may be successful in many domains (e.g., students, professionals) but are looking to improve functioning across the board. Let's look at past, present and future. We can collaborate to find the path for you - whether it is your first time or this is part of a long history in treatment.

You might be feeling stuck, weighed down by anxiety, past experiences, or patterns that no longer serve you. Deep down, you sense there’s more available to you—more peace, more authenticity, more freedom in how you live and relate to others. You may long to heal old wounds, strengthen your relationships, and step into a fuller version of yourself.
Therapy can be the supportive space where that shift begins. Together, we can work toward uncovering what holds you back, reconnecting you with your true self, and creating the kind of inner alignment that allows you to move forward with clarity, confidence, and wholeness.

At some point in our lives we can feel lost, sad, and/or anxious and could use an objective person to help us through. I work collaboratively to assist clients in gaining the coping and communication skills to improve their overall well-being and relationships. I offer both long-term and short-term evidence based treatment which is based off of a clients trauma history, wants, and needs. I believe in helping clients gain the insight and skills to be able to reach the goals we set at the onset of therapy, and to end confidently and able to handle life's stressors in a healthier way.
