Therapists in San Diego, CA

Throughout life we are all faced with stressors, traumas, and times of transition. During these times, it can be helpful to speak to a professional for guidance as you navigate life’s unavoidable challenges. As a licensed psychologist, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and supportive space for self exploration and personal growth. Together we will explore the places you feel stuck, process past events, deepen self understanding, and cultivate self acceptance so that you may experience longer lasting happiness, more fulfilling connections, and a more meaningful life.

Take a breath – go ahead. The process of finding a therapist can feel daunting and overstimulating, much like the world in general. Bear in mind that you don’t have to commit to a particular person right away. What’s most important is that you feel safe, supported, and heard. It might take a bit to find someone with whom you resonate, so I invite you to take the time and space you need. Our society conditions us to feel a sense of urgency, and it’s helpful to remind ourselves that we are more than our productivity, and we are more than our labels. As a person and professional, I celebrate diversity and multiculturalism of all kinds.

As a licensed clinical psychologist, I strive to empower clients to make meaningful changes in their lives to create balance and foster growth. This empowerment begins with building a collaborative therapeutic relationship based on trust and understanding. Being from a diverse background myself, I recognize that each person's life circumstances, experiences, cultural diversity and beliefs are unique, and I work to develop an understanding of these factors and to see the world from the client's point of view.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself and others around you? Do you feel unsure how to express your true self or live the life you want? As a Gender, Sex, and Relationship Diversity knowledgable therapist, I offer a supportive environment to address issues in life that may be holding you back. Sometimes it's our own beliefs about ourselves or our true potential that's our greatest barrier. Therapy can help uncover the barriers that are in the way and learn skills and techniques for how to work with yourself and collaborate with life so that you feel like you are living as opposed to just surviving.

I'm passionate about helping people explore their stories in creative ways to empower them to live fully and authentically. In therapy, I create a safe and sacred space where people can understand both their power and their pain, heal from the wounds and trauma of their pasts, and move forward in their lives into meaning, freedom and wholeness. I have an active, engaged, personal and empathic style, and I strive to help my clients feel comfortable and known.

Hello and Welcome. I have over a decade of practice in individual, adolescent, and couples therapy. I specialize in treating mood or anxiety difficulties, trauma, childhood trauma, relational difficulties, life stressors, or life and identity transitions. My passion is to help you live authentically- experiencing relief, resilience, self-compassion, and increased emotional freedom. We often learn strategies through life to keep us safe, but those strategies may hold us back in our present. It is in our relationships that we learned these strategies; it is through a therapeutic relationship that we re-learn, re-parent, and heal.

Hello, I have worked in the mental health field for almost 23 years, in multiple settings and with a wide variety of clients with varying backgrounds, cultures, ages, mental health issues, symptoms and needs. I work primarily from an existential/humanistic perspective, exploring one's own meaning in their experiences, and draw on various traditions and philosophies to find what works for each unique client. I see myself as open-minded and non-judgmental, with the ability to say what can be difficult to express while encouraging others' self-expression. I also provide Clinical Supervision from a Reflective Practice perspective.

I focus on supporting clients in taking ownership of their lives. In my therapeutic approach, I emphasize the role of creating meaning through personal responsibility. Many people get lost in repeating patterns that may not be serving them. I will help you create the insight around any patterns that no longer serve you, while directing you to take specific steps towards change so that you can actualize your purpose in life. Through an empathic yet direct approach, I will help you poke holes in the negative stories you may be telling yourself to make room for other types of thoughts that embody gratitude and possibility.

Calling all abstract thinkers who long for more concrete self-understanding! My philosophy that intellectualizing can be an amazing tool and a stepping stone to feeling, rather than a defense or a cognitive distortion, may be for you. I align with my fellow bottom-up processors' need to collect and synthesize all available information about ourselves and others before taking action. Good vibes are nice, but I will hold space for all vibes, so you won’t hear any platitudes from me. In our therapeutic relationship, I will bring nonjudgmental support and my knowledge of mental health, and you’ll bring what you know about being you.
