Suicidal Ideation Therapists in San Diego, CA
I specialize in sudden and traumatic loss (survivors of suicide, homicide, accidents) and survivors of sexual assault and abuse.
Struggling to adjust to a major life change? I help people who are experiencing anxiety, sadness, indecision and/or isolation stemming from a shift that has happened in their life. Whether it is a recent or pending break up, the loss of a loved one, or a recent move, change can be extremely challenging and anxiety provoking. Therapy gives you the space to talk about what's going on in your life and gives you the opportunity to learn new tools so you can successfully deal with what you're experiencing. It's easy to get trapped in unproductive patterns when you aren't where you thought you'd be in life, and therapy can stop that.

I specialize in working with trauma, OCD, self-harm and suicide, and perfectionism.
Trauma leaves us feeling broken, hopeless, or disconnected from our true selves. You may find yourself struggling to heal from childhood wounds, or maybe you are still reeling from a recent loss or huge life change. You find yourself overthinking constantly, unable to sleep, or overwhelmed by anxiety and painful memories. Maybe you’ve been to therapy before, but nothing has really worked. You want to find peace and heal, but you don’t know where to start. I work with adults, teens, and children who are seeking meaningful change and long-lasting healing from a painful past.

I Have 9 years of experience in the mental health field, including time spent in Childhood Education and on the Board of American Foundation of Suicide Prevention.
We are perfectly imperfect beings wholly deserving of authentic and meaningful lives. For many of us, we strive to feel heard, be seen, and accepted for who we are. Being disconnected from our truth can lead to feelings of loneliness, hopelessness, and helplessness. Through the many seasons of our lives, we are met with unforeseen challenges that impact our ability to navigate life easefully. Reaching out for help is not a sign of weakness, but rather a sign of immense strength. When we feel lost or unsure of what to do next, inviting an empathic other on our journey can be a life changing experience.
