Therapists in San Clemente, CA

Struggling with addiction and feel rehab isn’t an option? Leaving your family, job, school and responsibilities for an extended period of time is not always needed to get yourself healthy and on track. If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction, I know the challenges of this lifestyle. Being caught in the cycle of addiction is hard-feelings of fear, failure, guilt, and shame. You may have tried stopping on your own, only to find yourself engaging in the same unhelpful behavior. Breaking this cycle alone is tough! Counseling may be more effective for you than rehab. I specialize in moderation & abstinence based approaches.

Is your unconscious decision-making getting in the way of the life you want and leading you to repeat the same patterns over and over again! Therapy can guide you in uncovering these internal processes and relational patterns, and lead you on a journey of discovery of how they influence and impact your understanding of self and how you relate to others. Whether you engage in therapy as an individual, couple, or family, there is unlimited potential to increase self-awareness, gain deeper understanding, build deeper connections and create more meaningful relationships.

I’ve spent most of the last three decades trying to build healthy, connected, resilient relationships with my husband and our three kids. They have all grown up now - I guess we all have!

We believe people today are reacting to an existential emptiness in our culture with negative coping behaviors such as over use of social media, substance addictions, mental health crises, eating disorders, relational failures, even suicides. Treating the cause of these issues as well as symptoms requires a psychological, mental, and spiritual approach in order for us to thrive and attain lasting transformation into wholeness. Encompass takes such an approach, sensitive to the unique needs of our attempts to thrive, and overcome with resilience, hope and optimism for our futures.

Change is an inevitable part of life. The lack of change or too much change can overwhelm us and derail our growth. No one escapes hardship and stress.

With more than 20 years of clinical practice, I've found that the healthier person reaches out for help beyond their immediate sphere. I see myself as a guide facilitating my patients' healthy risk taking and helping them manifest their visions for a better future.
