Taking the first steps to make changes and move towards recovery and growth is often not easy but feeling better matters. Even if you feel that you are currently struggling, change is possible. My clients come to therapy burdened with workplace stress and career transition issues, anxiety/mood concerns, grief/loss issues, low self-esteem, LGBTQ+ issues, men's issues or challenges with life transitions. You want to move forward and make positive changes but are not sure where to start. Have a mature, relational, compassionate and insight-oriented therapeutic partner with you on this journey. If you contact me, I will reach out.
Having helped hundreds of clients in San Diego for the last 20 years, I’d enjoy taking this journey with you. I’ve worked in community mental health, hospice, psychiatric hospitals, substance use and seniors’ programs. I utilize proven interventions such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based, Strength-Based, Motivational Interviewing and more.
Come work with a therapist who is skillful, genuine, and warm, and who will help you explore difficult issues while feeling safe and supported. My clients consistently report that they feel heard, cared for, and supported as they work towards improving the difficult issues that brought them to therapy. Let's create a plan together toward change and growth.
