Therapists in San Diego, CA

“Treat the patient, not just the disease.” This mantra has always been an inspiration for my practice, as I truly believe that successful therapy is rooted in the positive, working relationships I form with my patients. If you are living with an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, or have family and/or marital issues, life might feel complicated and overwhelming. You may need a safe space to heal, explore yourself, and feel heard. My education & experience as an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist has given me the tools to help empower people like you to create positive change and work towards achieving a state of well-being.

I believe that you are the expert of your own experiences. Together we can collaborate to come to a place in life that you prefer. I implement a tailored approach that meets your needs by fusing approaches from Narrative Family Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Collaborative Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Expressive Arts Therapy practices. If you think I may be a good fit for you, feel free to text, call or email Becca for a free 15 minute consultation.

My approach to providing therapy is modeled through a strength-based approach, open communication and space for growth. I believe in connection, cultivating your voice and choice so you can meet your goals for our time together. I hope to create a comfortable and easy pace for you with a sprinkle of humor. Growth is important as well as transparency, and I invite you to express your needs during this time to ensure your therapy goals are met with a sense of empowerment. Therapy does not have to be hard.

You have so much wisdom and resilience within you. I'm here to highlight your strengths, as well as provide tools and support when life is overwhelming, sticky, and difficult to navigate. I strive to truly connect and attune to who you are so you can slow down with your emotions, recalibrate, and mindfully reframe and create change in your life. I am proud to be an Asian-American therapist who understands the impact that our unique social identities have on our lived experiences and mental health. It's my priority that you feel seen and can find peace, fulfillment, and hope - individually, as well as in your relationships.

My approach combines traditional psychodynamics with newer neuroscience-based techniques, which incorporate the mind-body connection. As an avid researcher, I pull from 30 years of practice and study in various additional psychotherapeutic and health disciplines-incorporating nutrition and movement-based strategies, yoga, meditation, biofeedback, energy psychology and expressive arts. I work with all ages, having had the privilege of treating clients from the age of 4 to 95.

I truly believe we all have the resources within us to grow and heal. However, there are times we become "stuck" in life and overcome with fear or other factors. I am passionate in working with children and adults in helping them recognize deeper/underlying issues or past traumatic experiences that can impair a person's function each day in various ways. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, and complex trauma (Ie physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, DV, life adjustments, grief/loss). I am trained in EMDR, a research-based treatment that facilitates the brain's own capacity to heal.

My Philosophy is simple, start where you are at in the process. My approach is to work with you and together we would develop goals and expectations on what you want to work on. It is a collaborative effort in order to help you make progress and sustain change once progress is made. Even though I'm seen as the professional, to me your're the professional of you're life and its my job to help guide you into a place where you feel comfortable.

Clients who work with me will find an inviting and collaborative environment where they can bring their “whole” self, the “messy” parts included, and engage in a process to better understand their stories and contexts, while receiving practical suggestions to support their experiences both during and outside of therapy sessions. I enjoy working with clients who wish to get unstuck from repetitive, troublesome, or self-defeating patterns of relating to themselves, others, or their world.
