With over 25 years experience as a mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapist and a Dual PhD in Clinical and Industrial-Organizational Psychology, I 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, or self-injurious behavior. 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. 
We work together to 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 is priceless. I have advanced training in both DBT / CBT, conduct psychological testing for adult & child ADHD, and have a blog followed worldwide by over 36,000 people.
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.
