Therapists in San Diego County, CA

It takes courage to set up your first therapy appointment, and it can be challenging to find a therapist who "gets you". With a trusted therapist, you can identify your struggles and find ways to overcome them, find importance and meaning in your life, experience healing from bad memories, and communicate better with loved ones. I have worked with clients for 29 years helping people find their clarity and truth. I welcome your call to determine if I'm a good fit for you as a therapist.

Hello! I'm a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) based in California. I received my Master's from California State University Fresno and have been practicing in the social work field for over 20 years.

All of us experience times in our lives when a little help is needed. Perhaps now, it is a period of time in your life that is emotionally difficult, a death or loss you are grieving, struggles with depression or anxiety, problematic relationships, or just want to work on personal growth. Perhaps you need a sympathetic, nonjudgmental ear with someone whom you can trust. I hope you can find that person in me.

As a mental health professional for over 20 years, I have always been passionate about changing lives. My clinical background includes forensic mental health and medical social work. It is remarkable to see the gradual progress in clients and the transformative power of therapy at work. The most rewarding part of counseling is the therapeutic relationship with the client and how that foundation is used as a catalyst for change. I love to see the light and joy come back in my client's lives!

No matter what is going on within you and around you, there is always hope. You do not have to face life alone. Life brings us challenges that can include anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, and grief. Together we can create an individualized plan to help you heal and create the life that you desire. As a warm and caring therapist, it would be my honor to be a part of your healing process. Through our work together, I am committed to helping you recognize your strengths and innate resiliency that would allow you to thrive at home, work, and in relationships.

My areas of focus include life changes, relationships, trauma, grief, recovery, women's issues and perimenopause/ menopause transitions. Changes to our lives both expected and unexpected, can interrupt our sense of wellbeing or divert us from our desired paths, making it hard to find our way back. We get lost in the heartbreaks, sadness, unmet needs, or trauma responses that fractures how we view and know ourselves. Working our way through unfolding memories, processing traumas, validating feelings, and honoring where we hurt, makes space for more love, connection, compassion and fulfillment. All of which, you deserve.

Hi there, I am glad you found me. I believe in the value of therapy at different points in our lives. My areas of therapeutic experience include; life transitions, dating, breakups, marriage, parenting, military and veteran families, church/belief dynamics, loss, accountability, aging, disabilities/different abilities, as well as business and academic pursuits. My clients have described my style as genuine, attentive, caring, and creative. I aim to create a comfortable environment where you can shake hands with any emotion that is necessary.

Going to school, work, or social events can be terrifying for some. Feelings of anxiety become paralyzing even before we arrive. Whether it's trying to manage stress with school or work demands, navigate feelings around change or loss, or handle social situations like entering conversations or dealing with rejection or bullying, it can be exhausting. We get stuck in habits keeping us from living productive lives and forming healthy relationships. As a result we isolate, turn inward, and experience mood shifts. My clients want a space where they can be heard and learn coping skills to build confidence and emotional stability.

Welcome! I am passionate about my work and take great pride in the therapeutic relationships I have built overtime with my clients, which is why I believe in tailoring counseling to each individuals unique needs. Therapy is most effective when a trusting relationship exists between a counselor & the client. Some relationships hurt us while others are meant to heal. I believe that my job isn't to tell you what to do or how you live your life but to provide a safe, trusting environment where you express yourself & have an experience of being listened to without judgment & together we come up with creative solutions.

As a family therapist for over twenty-five years, I combine various approaches to meet the individual needs of my clients. My style is collaborative and supportive and I'm passionate about what I do. I specialize in two unrelated populations: young people from age thirteen through their mid- twenties, and anyone suffering loss, especially the loss of a pet. Perhaps because I still have vivid memories of my young self, and because the animal-human bond is so strong, these topics have special meaning for me. Subspecialties include trauma and stress management including EMDR, couple's work, and parenting.

I believe the most important component to successful therapy is trust and connection between the client and his or her therapist. It is my intention to build a trusting relationship and to embark on a collaborative journey with each client. My passion is working with people to help them overcome obstacles, to enable them to reach and maintain goals to live a happier, healthier and more fulfilling life.

We all experience life in different ways and that creates our bodies, minds, emotions, spirits, and all that encompasses us. Some of these experiences have incredibly positive impacts on us that we do not want to let go of and some are negatively impacting us in ways that keep us from living the lives we want to create. If you're wanting to work with someone who can support you with understanding, processing and decreasing negative impacts in your relationships due to addiction, LGBTQAI+, bullying, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, caregiver fatigue, PTSD, relationships/communication, and shame, I'm here.
