Do you feel like you’re navigating life on autopilot, with anxiety or depression making it difficult to show up for your work, your relationships, or yourself?

I am willing to see individuals and specialize in areas such as aging, anger management, anxiety, coping skills, cultural stress, depression, family conflict, job stress, legal stress, life coaching, life transitions, parenting, relationship issues, spirituality, stress, trauma, and PTSD.
I believe that we all have strengths and are capable of lasting change. "Flaws" that we see in ourselves are typically adaptive reactions and self-protective in nature. The more we understand the mechanisms at play, the more we can surrender what no longer serves us. By renewing the mind and spirit (increasing insight, self-awareness, and self-acceptance), we can move toward transformational and authentic connection with ourselves and others.

I don't have an ideal client. I want to met people where they are at. If you've never had therapy before, it’s important to be aware we don’t start talking about the hard stuff. It can take 2-3 sessions for someone to feel comfortable enough to tell another person what they are struggling with. Therapists cannot read minds, but have studied human patterns of thoughts, feelings & actions. No one can truly know the exact consequences a person has experienced in their life. Regardless of the reason why someone is seeking therapy, there is no judgment, no criticism…just acceptance. People can heal & grow in this type of environment.

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.

When we've lost touch with our truer self, life is just harder. If you're not as present and engaged in your life as you'd like, you may also find your body weighing in through symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns of behavior. Underlying such symptoms are often vital, "offline" parts of ourselves that a good therapeutic alliance can help you to identify, strengthen and expand. If you're experiencing a readiness to take your online search for a therapist to the next level, I offer a brief phone consultation to help determine goodness of fit.

I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 2008. Born and raised in the Bay Area, I spent the majority of my adult life in Southern California. I received my Masters's Degree in clinical psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles in 2005. In 2006, I relocated to the Coachella Valley and spent a decade in county mental health services while establishing a small private practice from 2008 to 2016.

Many individuals seek support when they notice changes in memory, attention, concentration, mood, or overall cognitive functioning. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist providing neuropsychological evaluation, cognitive assessment, and therapy for individuals experiencing difficulties related to concussion, traumatic brain injury, stress, trauma, and complex neurological or psychological symptoms. Through careful evaluation, we work to clarify how the brain and emotional health are interacting and identify practical strategies that support recovery, resilience, and long-term brain health.

There are times when we act in ways that don’t align with what we truly want or need, and we may not even understand why. You might feel overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure how to express your needs to the people who matter most. Or, perhaps you feel disconnected from yourself, which can make it difficult to have meaningful and close relationships with others. It’s not uncommon for this to bring up feelings like guilt, anger, or not feeling good enough, and other emotions that can be hard to talk about or manage. I work with both children and adults, supporting them gaining deeper self-awareness, and positive connections with others.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions, or like you've learned to shut them down just to get through the day? Maybe you're carrying grief that hasn't fully been processed, or past experiences that continue to show up in your relationships, reactions, or sense of self. You may notice emotional shutdown, withdrawal, or feeling disconnected from others. Many of the men and couples I work with are dealing with trauma, grief, emotional regulation, anxiety, depression, or relational distress. Some are trying to understand how their past shapes how they show up, while others want support in building stability, clarity, and connection.

You may understand your patterns and still feel stuck in them, especially in relationships. Many of the brave individuals I work with struggle with anxiety, overthinking, or relationships that leave them feeling disconnected or unsure of themselves. Some notice patterns around self-worth, body image, or a strong inner critic, while others feel the impact of past experiences or trauma. Often, one part understands what’s happening while another feels overwhelmed or reactive. They’re not looking for quick fixes, but for something that helps things truly shift toward a deeper sense of wholeness in mind, body, heart, and soul.

Anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and the weight of past experiences don't just cause pain - they shape how you see yourself and how you show up with the people you love. If you've found yourself caught in the same patterns, wondering why things feel harder than they should, or simply wanting to understand yourself more deeply, psychodynamic therapy offers something most approaches don't: the chance to get at what's actually driving the difficulty, not just manage it. I work with adults, teens, and children in Encinitas and Vista, and I'm currently accepting new patients.
