Managed Health Network (MHN) Therapists in La Mesa, CA

My clients often start from a place of anxiety, sadness, feeling overwhelmed with the demands of daily life. Through our work, they learn to manage their emotions, find resources within themselves to sort out issues and move through their lives with new skills. We clear traumas from childhood and adulthood, leaving them feeling lighter, happier. I integrate the perspective of resiliency and take a strength-based approach to inspire change. It is not so much what happens in life as how we respond to life events that shapes our future. Through our work together, you can experience an improved quality of life.

I provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to share and feel heard. Every client has his or her unique way of relating to others and learning, which impacts what kind of therapy, will be effective. I come alongside my clients to explore, encourage, and support them in the therapeutic process while developing skills to take with them as they continue on their own personal journey. I utilize different theoretical concepts including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Acceptance/Commitment (ACT) Solution Focus and Play/Art therapies, while consistently viewing clients through the lens of developmental stages and attachment styles.
