Therapists in San Diego, CA

Do you wonder if you’re an addict, maybe not? I provide assessments and interventions for addiction. I’ve worked with famous actors, directors, major league athletes, scholars, scientists, studio executives, engineers, Hip Hop moguls and successful individuals. I specialize in trauma and addiction. I deal with issues such as controlled drinking, sobriety, relationship, couple's or family issues, Court, incest survivor trauma, and addiction issues. I'm also a LMFT, and Yoga and Meditation Therapist and EMDR Therapist which gives me a unique ability to help my patients integrate in their bodies emotionally and mentally.

Life can be overwhelming. Many people find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, anger, or relationship issues that seem insurmountable. You might be feeling disconnected, stressed, or stuck in patterns that bring more pain than peace. Perhaps you're looking for a way to manage these intense emotions, rebuild connections, or simply find a sense of direction. What you want is relief—relief from the burdens that weigh you down and guidance to lead a life filled with meaning, joy, and strong relationships.

As founder and director of Perspectives Psychological Services, a team practice, I emphasize providing all clients with precise initial assessments to clarify their needs and specific diagnoses. My treatment style is built upon the assumption that you are the expert on you! Therefore, I focus on creating a collaborative, trusting and supportive environment, where we work together to tailor an intervention for your specific needs and strengths.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression? Is it keeping you from doing the things that you love and functioning the way that you want to? Is it creeping up on you when you least expect? Or are life's struggles too hard to carry on your shoulders, too much to keep on going? At times, these issues are there and intended for us to process through, to overcome the challenges and know how to have coping skills and tools to battle them again in the future. Trauma is no different, and as it holds you back from doing the things you love, learn how to stop that cycle, and take control of it.
