Strive To Thrive Psychology is dedicated to improving the quality of life and mental health of adults living with chronic health conditions such as Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disorders, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and/or other chronic and invisible illness or invisible disability. I focus on helping you improve your quality of life so that you can better manage your chronic health conditions and thrive both physically and emotionally.
When life happens, let’s roll with it instead of working against it. You are capable of living your best life even under the most challenging circumstances. I am passionate about empowering adults living with diabetes, chronic illness, and mood disorders to build the resilience and skills to adapt and thrive.
Based in San Diego, I offer virtual telehealth therapy to adults residing anywhere in California. I provide results-oriented, evidence-based psychotherapy and consultation services rooted in transparency, collaboration, and mutual respect. I offer a free 15-minute phone or video consultation so that you can determine if we may be a good fit.
