Person-Centered Therapists in San Juan Capistrano, CA

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who provides strength-based, trauma-informed therapy to individuals and groups of all ages.

I combine this belief with 15 years of experience and a variety of approaches to assist clients in reaching their goals. My approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Trauma Informed Care (TIC), Positive Psychology, and Psychoeducation.

For many life can be one of two things, either you feel like you are never enough so why try or you feel like you have to always keep pushing and keep going never able to relax. If never enough, you have tried everything to pull yourself out and people are quick to tell you how, so you put on a smile to hide it. On the other, you pride yourself on how much you accomplish but feel less than when you slow. Maybe you are struggling in a relationship and ready to learn how to not only have healthier relationship-building boundaries but also interested in learning out how to draw closer through empathetic attunement.

I am currently accepting new clients. I am a compassionate therapist who is passionate about supporting others on their path towards growth and healing. I work with people to help them understand how their past has shaped their present, break free of unhealthy patterns, and heal from emotional wounds. I believe positive change and healing occur in the context of safe relationships. When we feel seen, understood, and relationally connected, we can overcome life’s most challenging situations.

Do you find yourself feeling anxious and depressed dealing with all of the pressures of daily life? Do you struggle in your relationships and are looking to create more peaceful interactions? After 27 years working as a psychologist, I have a tremendous amount of compassion and understanding for the struggles and challenges we face to become contributing members of society today. I work with individuals to identify unhealthy thought patterns or behaviors that get in the way of personal fulfillment and develop positive changes. When working with adolescents, I strive to also help parents understand them and develop better connections

Here is what I know: Life is beautiful and life is messy. Life is joyful and life is painful. There is not a linear trajectory. Life may be going along swimmingly, and then seemingly out of nowhere something can change in an instant and send one on a completely different course. Wouldn’t it be nice to avoid these unpleasant truths? Unfortunately, the ways we attempt to avoid suffering usually create more of the very problems we were trying to ignore.

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.
