Therapists in Vista, CA
I focus on healing the wounds that have created internal negative "stories" about ourselves and the world to help people reconnect with their original creative, powerful, loving selves. Clients learn stress reduction and self-nurturing techniques to support themselves on the journey through processing trauma and throughout their lives. As clients heal from the past, they then learn new ways to communicate and interact effectively with others and to create the lives they wish to live.

As an LMFT I have experience working with individuals from all walks of life and various age groups. Therapy does not have to be dry, boring, or scary and it's okay to havre fun in therapy. Although I may not have the same experiences as you, however, I know what it feels like to make mistakes, experience hurt, love, loss, pain and fear. I also know what it's like to rebuild myself and have success again. Everyone experiences a range of beliefs, thoughts, feelings, emotions, and situations that shape and mold us. Therefore, working with people in their time of need motivates me to assist them in finding balance in their lives.

You’ve managed your anxiety for a while but lately it’s feeling more like your anxiety is managing you. You just want a moment of peace, where your mind isn’t spinning with what-ifs and to-dos, leaving you buzzing and frozen at the same time. You have some “coping skills” but lately even those feel as effective as putting out a wildfire with a squirt gun. And no matter how much others try to reassure you, you can’t shake the ever-present thought, “Yeah, but what if they’re WRONG?”

I believe that therapy is a unique opportunity for each person to explore the nuances of their inner world and build awareness around the patterns that inform how they navigate the outer world. I am here to support you in discovering how therapy can impact and improve your life from day to day.

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.

I understand that life is hard. I view mental health from a medical lens, which includes mind, body and spirit. When you catch a cold, you support the immune system and medicate the symptoms. When we encounter challenging life circumstances like a new role as a parent or a caregiver, a loss, or an opportunity- the learning curve is steep. As a therapist, I work to understand the what, with empathy and respect. I work collaboratively, validating and acknowledging the resources available, whether they are within you or in reach. If you are feeling trapped, stuck, helpless/hopeless in your circumstances, I want to help find a way out.
