Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Pacific Beach, San Diego, CA

Currently accepting new clients - Life is a journey. Along this ride, it may feel like you are stuck in uncertain and dark places longer than you'd like to be. If you're looking for a tune up to help you feel limitless, to regain your stride, I'm here to embark on this healing chapter with you. Whether that be burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship stressors, there can be many unexpected barriers along the way.

My ideal clients seek a collaborative and empowering approach to navigate life challenges. Open-minded and reflective, they value exploring personal narratives to reshape perspectives. They embrace the belief that stories shape identity and are eager to rewrite narratives that hinder growth. I will never rush or pressure a client to move faster than they are able, and I believe that therapy can be a joyful process. These clients seek to understand their authentic selves, even when their truth may not feel "pretty" or "convenient".

“Life is amazing, then it's awful, then it's amazing again. In between the amazing & awful, it's ordinary, mundane & routine. Breathe in the amazing, hold on through the awful, relax & exhale during the ordinary. That's just living, heartbreaking, soul-healing, amazing, awful, ordinary life. And it's breathtakingly beautiful!" (Knost). Welcome to insight, awareness & self discovery! I have worked in behavioral & medical health care for over 20 years, working in depth with mental health, substance abuse, end of life/hospice, those in crisis, the homeless, the grieving, the disenfranchised.

You are not defined by the trauma you have endured. Anxiety, depression, and trauma can make it seem as if your life will forever be stuck on a constant, negative loop. The feelings of despair and hopelessness may have become so familiar that you accept them as your "normal." This pain can make it incredibly difficult to have hope and truly believe that, even for us, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. The relief you crave, the joy you see in others (but have nearly convinced yourself is impossible for you), and the peace of mind you desire IS in fact possible, but you should not expect yourself do it alone.

Starting and staying in therapy can be intimidating! It doesn’t have to be that way. I enjoy using humor and just being a fellow human with my clients while we navigate the path of mental health together. Having a session with me is like talking to an old friend. I strongly believe that the connection between the therapist and yourself is the most crucial aspect of a successful therapeutic relationship. I treat adults 18 and over in our lovely state of California via telehealth (video) who are dealing with anxiety, boundary issues and difficult relationship and family dynamics along with career strategizing and coaching.

Hello and Seja bem-vindo! I grew up in Brazil and moved to California to pursue my career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I truly believe that due to life challenges, stressful jobs, career and busy lifestyle, it's very easy to dismiss our inner voice. That is the voice that wants to be heard, tell us about our emotions and hurdles. Allowing your inner voice to be heard will empower you to embrace the beautiful journey of self discovery.

I feel everyone has times in their life when social, emotional and relational challenges (to name a few), can make us feel stuck, scared and un-heard. Issues of anxiety, depression, life-transitions, eating disorders, self-worth, anger management, stress and substance abuse can really impact us in negative ways. Gaining the skills you need to move forward can have a life-changing outcome that will help you to feel better and enable you to have better relationships with others and with yourself. Little changes can make a big impact in your life - let's see what we can accomplish as a team!

At some point in our lives, it is not uncommon to find ourselves struggling with emotional pain and daily life challenges. I believe that humans have a large capacity to be autonomous, resilient, and self-directed. My goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and safe environment, where clients can begin to understand and work through the complexities of their emotional and behavioral challenges. I tailor treatment to my client’s strengths and goals, assisting them in breaking maladaptive coping strategies and poor habits while acquiring effective coping skills, which promote new ways of thinking, behaving, and relating to others.

I use somatic and brain based experiential methods, such as AEDP, brainspotting, and the therapeutic reconsolidation process to help you finally let go of feelings, behaviors, and limiting beliefs that were developed from past experiences, so you can finally feel better and enjoy the life you want to live. I'll also teach you CBT and DBT skills to cope with the things in your life that you can't change so you can stop suffering over them.

Feeling lost, overwhelmed, afraid, or alone? Are the waves of life crashing around you? If you or your loved ones are drowning in the suffering caused by relationship conflict, grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, problem gambling, or substance use, look no further. You are not alone and there is hope! Desperation and suffering brought me to the point of reaching out for help many years ago and soon the seas began to calm. As life came into balance and my spirit healed, guiding others out of the storm into peaceful waters became my mission.

Your decision to seek psychotherapy provides a unique opportunity to process the challenges you are currently experiencing, identify your values, and develop the skills needed to reach your goals. I enjoy working with adults, couples, and families. I strive to provide quality treatment in a warm, collaborative setting.
