What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us," Ralph Waldo Emerson. In therapy, we'll embrace a holistic approach, exploring the connection between your mind, body, and spirit. We'll foster balance and resilience through self-discovery, enriching your quality of life. We'll identify and challenge negative thought patterns using DBT, CBT, EMDR, and more.

I am an integrative psychotherapist based in North County San Diego. I love working with adults looking for a mind-body-spirit approach, and who want to make lifestyle changes that support their progress in therapy. Issues I frequently work with are depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, relationship & family stress, substance abuse, and spirituality. I often work with people who have tried traditional approaches like talk therapy and medications, but have failed to experience the results they were looking for. Often we uncover that they were trying to solve the wrong problems with the wrong solutions.

The decision to start therapy with a licensed professional is like setting out on an expedition to both rediscover old territories and to discover new territories. One set of questions therapy asks is “What is it like to be me now?” “How do my past experiences affect who I am now?” “What is getting in my way, preventing me from being the person I feel I can be?” What we talk about during each meeting are those issues that are important to you in your everyday life, relationships, job, parents, children, things that make you feel happy, sad, depressed, or confused.

Your life’s challenges can feel overwhelming at times, whether it’s navigating relationships, managing stress, or overcoming past traumas. Embarking on therapy can be daunting, especially when feeling trapped in a cycle of stress and uncertainty. Many of the clients I work with feel successful and high functioning in many aspects of their lives but find themselves struggling in others. While they may thrive professionally or academically, they often grapple with managing work-related stress or navigating personal conflicts. Despite their successes, they may feel taxed by the pressures of their careers or relationships.

Many professionals suffer from stress, anxiety, worry, or depression. Despite external success there is internal angst often impacting our daily lives and our relationships with colleagues and loved ones. Although materially successful we find ourselves feeling restless, trapped, or burnt out.

You have the wisdom within for your own growth and healing. In response to the problems in our lives, we all develop survival strategies that keep us disconnected from our true self, and therefore from others as well. Because we do this unconsciously, it can be difficult to identify the ways we get in our own way.

Perhaps you are trying to heal from a difficult relationship breakup, leaving you feeling sad and defeated. It could be that you are a part of a newly formed blended family, living together for the first time, and instead of joy you are experiencing chaos. You may be seeking help, because your spouse has received orders for yet another deployment with the military.

Spirituality Therapists

What should I expect from therapy that incorporates a focus on spirituality?

Spirituality can mean different things to different individuals, depending on their experiences, beliefs, and life histories. Some individuals focus on strengthening their belief system, while others experience spirituality in secular ways, such as through meditation, yoga, or by spending time in nature. Clients can expect a therapist to help guide and grow their spirituality through any of these techniques, encouraging the individual to cope with the challenges they face and develop strategies to build resilience and purpose to improve their outlook in life.

What are the most common treatments that include spirituality?

There are several treatments that incorporate spirituality. Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) helps a person examine and reframe their negative thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) focuses on emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility. Existential therapy is most often used to address anxiety, depression, grief, loneliness, apathy, despair, questions of identity, and feelings of purposelessness and existential dread. Transpersonal therapy focuses on a client’s spirituality and meaning in life and may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualization, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork.

Can therapy incorporating spirituality help atheistic or agnostic individuals?

Yes. For non-believers, spirituality can offer benefits including a greater sense of connection to others and to the natural world. An interest in spirituality may also spur individuals to pursue mindfulness practices, or to contemplate their purpose in life and how to achieve it.

How effective is spirituality as a therapeutic remedy?

​​Research suggests spirituality is generally beneficial for individuals. It is correlated with better health habits, such as less substance use, and an improved capacity to cope with stress and other mental health challenges. Increased spirituality can lead individuals to become more empathic and less materialistic, as well.
