Anger Management Therapists in 92104

I am an expert in treating anxiety, trauma, addictions, sleep problems, but also qualified to evaluate a range of commonly co-occurring mental health conditions like depression. I do more than just talk therapy! At every visit, I teach evidenced-based skills that have been rigorously tested. I have developed a consultation style to therapy based on my experiences as a psychologist integrated in medical teams. This style allows me to consider treatment from multiple perspectives and this generally leads to earlier improvement, fewer overall visits, faster feedback and treatment ideas.

Looking for freedom, healing, transformation? As an observer of human behavior and relationship, I see the sticky interconnectedness of self, other, and systems that often imprisons us in behaviors, thoughts, and reactions that can feel unchangeable. I believe people often do the best they can to face the challenges of life, yet in doing so, some of what we discover works at first, fails us long-term. And it’s here that we often feel trapped—between doing what we know to do and knowing what we’re doing is no longer working.

Hello! You found this page on your search for answers. This is a journey of self inquiry that leads to self acceptance, but not without its bumps. I can help you learn to listen to your own innate wisdom, slow down time so you can appreciate what is good in your life, and, allow your senses to bring in what makes you stronger. I will be the keeper of your patterns, dreams and fears and help you sidestep what scares you in real time. I am as slow or as fast as the trauma needs. This will be a deep conversation with laughs and tears, and, built-in-healing. Let's do that 15 min free session and see how you feel. Welcome!

I am a MFT student trainee. My ideal client would be someone who is going through major life shifts that has created curiosity around their self identity and questions around their confidence in all aspects of life. Someone who struggles with anxiety and depression who does not feel as if they are "enough" and are having difficulties maintaining healthy relationships around them with a partner/s, friends, and family. Their goal would be to feel a sense of security within themselves exploring the stories and patterns that have led them to have these belief systems that are not supporting their best "Self".

I am motivated by a belief in each individual's potential to grow from their life challenges and become empowered to access personal strengths and existing resources. I approach therapy as a collaborative relationship between the client, who is regarded as the expert on their life, and the therapist, who becomes a trusted ally in developing understanding and creating change. A potential client’s level of comfort with me, in my opinion is the most important aspect to the therapeutic relationship.

Change, conflict, disappointment, or loss. Through our work together, I can help you navigate troubling patterns that may have formed as a result of responding to these difficult life occurrences. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I bring extensive experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults ranging from crisis response to long-term psychotherapy. I provide insight-oriented counseling for those who are managing depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, and life transitions. Other clinical specialties of mine include work around grief and loss, eating disorder relapse prevention, and trauma recovery.
