Vista, CA 92083
Now accepting multiples insurance programs! When trouble arises in life, the emotions that come with it tend to be overwhelming, and it can be hard to find the words to describe the problem. This can block the decision making process and halt forward movement. Seeking outside helps solve this. Some people are skeptical about the role that therapy could play in their life, and I can sympathize. Whether you’re a skeptic, or looking for counsel, please keep reading. 

My job will be to show you just how capable you are. I will teach you how to cope with negative thoughts when they inevitably happen, and help you retrain your brain.

I sincerely believe in the power of truly being seen and understood by another human being. This is my top priority in the work I do. First and foremost I hope to hear about you and your experience, and understand where you're at in life. When we are seen by another with compassion, I believe it naturally opens up access to our own inner wisdom. I like to work in collaboration and alongside you in a way that honors your wisdom to make the right decisions that line up with your own values and beliefs. After working for over twenty years as a nurse, I decided to become a therapist because I believe our mental health is so important!

I am happy to work with anyone who is seeking some support in facing the normal vicissitudes of life. Not everything has to be a major trauma. Sometimes life is challenging and simple non-biased support is helpful. Other times a major event occurs and it is emotionally devastating. I truly believe that another human being walking with you in that time is crucial to healing. Your needs are what matter to me. I would be honored to accompany you on the path to a more peaceful life.
