Positive Psychology Therapists in Vallecito, CA

ONLINE SESSIONS NOW AVAILABLE. I help adults recover from childhood and adult trauma with the use of body centered therapies. Unresolved trauma often negatively affects our relationships, careers, and physical, mental, emotional, & spiritual health. People who have experienced trauma are often doing the very best they know how to deal with the emotional and physiological response to what has happened to them. People often don't realize the struggles they are having in their lives can be linked to things that have happened in the past. They try to change their behavior with little to no success, or easily fall back into old habits.

My approach to therapy is a collaborative one, informed by my clinical social work education, 37 years of postgraduate experience, and ongoing continuing education. I work most successfully with individuals who come to therapy with a desire for greater understanding of themselves and others, and an identified symptom/situation/problem/conflict to explore/resolve. Therapy can be short or long term as needed. Significant others may be included as part of treatment. Together we will explore your concerns, and develop strategies for meeting your goals. I am a provider for many insurance plans to make therapy affordable and accessible.
