Therapists for Teens in San Diego County, CA

It is common to experience bouts of anxiety, depression, grief, or feelings of helplessness and hopelessness during life. However, these are not issues to suffer through for the rest of your life. My aim is to work collaboratively with you to develop insight into your struggles and nurture innate strengths to help overcome these challenges. I have over ten years of clinical experience treating a variety of psychological difficulties such as addiction, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, ADHD, child/adolescent issues, anger management, relationship issues, and performing psychological and learning disability/ADHD assessments.

Is your teenager acting differently or struggling with mood changes? Is the whole family being negatively affected by their behavior? I have 20 years of experience helping teens, couples and families learn how to manage and communicate their emotions effectively and respectfully. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. You don’t have to be “messed up” or in total crisis to seek help from a therapist.... Sometimes it only takes a few sessions to get on track so please call today for a free 15-minute phone consultation.

I strive to create an atmosphere of trust and safety so that we can explore your struggles together and discover new and useful ways of relating to yourself and those around you. I work particularly well with people who are interested in looking beneath the surface of their lives and want to create meaningful and long-lasting changes. I view therapy as a creative collaboration that provides compassion and insight. If you are seeking help for yourself, your child/adolescent, or your family, we will work together to figure out how to make life more rewarding, and fulfilling.

Are you tired of things being so tough with your kids? You can see that your child or teen is struggling, but you're not sure what to do to help. They may be having difficulties at school or with friends. Or it may be that things feel out of control at home. You try so hard to help things get better, but it feels like things are just stuck. Maybe you've noticed that your reactions are way bigger than you want them to be. Something happens to trigger you and you lose your temper, and then you feel so guilty. Or it seems overwhelming because you listen to so many parenting professionals, but still don't have a clear path forward.

Taking the first step towards getting mental health support can be a difficult task. My hope is that together we can openly discuss treatment options. I hope to join you to help with navigating dual cultures, handling situations with your children, navigating being an adolescent, or handling life transitions individually and/or with family therapy. I work with people struggling with anxiety, relational issues, women’s health, Latinx, life transitions, trauma, survivors of crimes, immigration evaluations. I use an adaptive approach to treatment by tailoring interventions to the unique needs of the client.

Is this your first time looking for a therapist? I imagine it may feel a little scary, which is normal. I strive to create a comfortable and safe space for my clients where they can share their thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged. Whether you are a teen or young adult, navigating new territories and relationships can be scary at times. Maybe you have been struggling with anxiety and depression since being a young teen and you are finding it harder to cope, it could be a great time to starting dealing with it now and I can assist in learning these tools to help!
