Are you often anxious about school or work and feel stressed and overwhelmed with your responsibilities? Do you toss and turn at night and worry about the next day? Do you struggle expressing your needs with your friends and family? I want to help you feel less anxious and stressed and feel better about yourself. As a San Diego psychologist who works with teens and adults, I'll provide you a safe space to express your concerns. I'll teach you effective coping strategies that help reduce your symptoms. You'll learn the power of self-care and self-compassion. Services offered in English and Spanish, in-person and via telehealth.

I can help you figure out how to feel more in control. With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and HeartMath, you can learn how to take better care of yourself and focus on more adaptive ways of thinking and behaving. Counseling can help you to trust yourself, set boundaries, be your number one advocate, and deal with uncertainty.

I am a kind, supportive and engaged therapist that can help you achieve your goals. I will provide you with a safe space to talk and feel more empowered. If you are ready to help you or your teenager better manage stress, anxiety and build self-confidence, please contact me for a free 15-minute phone consultation. I look forward to talking with you.
