Unlike traditional therapy that focuses on the past, we focus on the present and take action to change unproductive thought patterns, manage your emotions, and modify unhealthy habits. With over 25 years experience as a mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapist, I help you take control of your mind rather than let your mind take control of you. Learning to find the off button in your mind and no longer reacting to every thought and feeling is priceless. Over 35,000 people worldwide follow my blog to learn my therapeutic approach.
We work together to help you develop a greater sense of self-awareness as well as manage symptoms of anxiety, irritability/anger, depression, panic attacks, racing or worried thoughts, PTSD, ADHD, eating disorders, insomnia, relationship conflict, substance abuse, and self-injurious behavior.
My experience is with the U.S. Naval Medical Center: Department of Internal Medicine, Wells Fargo Corporate Headquarters: Department of Risk Management, California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation, Scripps Hospital Partial Hospitalization Program - San Diego, & Pomerado Hospital Outpatient Psychiatry- San Diego.
