I help children, teens, adults, and families in North San Diego County manage intense emotions, anxiety, and conflict. Life can feel overwhelming when emotions affect home, school, work, and relationships. Using practical DBT skills, I help your child, teen, or young adult feel calmer, more confident, and better able to navigate challenges. I offer a supportive space for families and young adults to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and learn tools that create real, lasting change at home and in daily life.
Feeling stressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? I help clients manage intense emotions and challenging situations using practical DBT skills. You’ll learn tools for stress, mood swings, school pressure, and relationships in a supportive, judgment-free space that helps you feel calmer and more confident.
I provide expert DBT therapy for children, teens, adults, and families. With years of experience across private practice, residential treatment, and youth programs, I help clients apply DBT skills to create lasting change, strengthen relationships, and navigate life’s challenges more effectively.
