Teletherapy for 92131

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 am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and certified cognitive behavioral therapist who has been in private practice since 1999. Until 2014, I was the Senior Reproductive Psychologist in the Maternal Mental Health Division, Department of Psychiatry at UCSD. Educationally, I first earned Dual Bachelor Degrees in Psychology and Music from St. Olaf College. After earning a Ph.D. and M.A. in Clinical Psychology with a Health Psychology Emphasis from CSPP, I completed an internship at Scripps Clinic and a Fellowship at the Medical University of South Carolina.

What motivates me to be a therapist is my desire to help clients maximize their potential for personal growth. I work with individuals, families and couples to help them in their journey of discovering their innate abilities of solving their own problems. In this way I will direct them in learning what obstacles they create for themselves and how to use their abilities to evoke change. My preference is in-person, but am willing to do Telehealth, as needed, after initial in-person assessment, in-person offers valuable energy exchange necessary for the human connection between therapist and client. I'm fully vaccinated.

Do you hear your inner critic telling you “I am not good enough; I am not worth it?” Does it feel overwhelming to experience uncertainty in everyday life and relationships?

My journey in the helping professions began as a Case Manager in 2008 and continued in various mental health settings including crisis work, county court, and rehabilitation centers, as a Mental Health therapist since 2014.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and a married mother of two young adult daughters. My areas of focus are anxiety, depression, stress management, women's issues and young adult issues. I use a client-centered and solution focused approach to counseling, based on a cognitive-behavioral model of emotions and behavior. Client-centered means that I strive to provide a warm, compassionate and judgment-free environment. Solution focused means that we will focus on specific problems or goals, and work toward developing skills and strategies to solve those problems and reach those goals.

I will help you get your life back on track and start feeling better again. My approach to therapy is warm, non-judgmental, and genuine. I will work together with you to help you achieve your goals and learn to manage life's struggles.

When I was a junior in high school, I began to struggle with severe anxiety and panic attacks. Even with a great support system, trying to “take a deep breathe” when panicking was just not cutting it. I needed to go deeper than that. It wasn’t until I found a counselor that allowed me to feel comfortable sharing my insecurities and fears, that I learned to take control of my worries. I instantly felt more at ease when I knew I was going to see my counselor. That is when I realized: I want to be that sense of warmth and guidance for others.

I love being a therapist. I love helping people to find greater understanding of why they protect themselves in the ways that they do. Often these protective parts may feel trapped in these roles. Building harmonious relationships with these parts, leading from the most authentic Selves allows us to have greater liberation and fulfillment in our lives and relationships. The ways you protect yourself and survive make sense. Your pain matters. You deserve not to have to hold it alone.

In a world where anxiety, depression, PTSD, and challenges to self-esteem and relationships are increasingly common, the quest for genuine connection and understanding can seem daunting, especially for those of us in the queer community. If you're navigating relationship difficulties, societal injustices - such as transphobia, homophobia, racism, discrimination, and inequity, or the impact of violence and chronic trauma, know that your feelings are valid and you're not alone. The need for safer spaces where we can be our most authentic selves and where our identities are affirmed and celebrated is more crucial than ever.

Depression, anxiety, and other symptoms don't have to last forever. You deserve to feel better. Can you imagine being able to shush that Inner Critic, meet your Inner Child and their old needs, and come into a deeper understanding of your authentic Self? It takes tremendous courage to confront childhood trauma and heal those invisible wounds. Modern psychotherapy includes evidence-based protocols where traumatic memories become less vivid and emotions less intense and unpleasant. Step by step, you can unlearn the patterns that are no longer serving you and reveal your innate worth. This time, you get to choose the direction!
