EMDR Therapists in San Diego County, CA
I use evidence based approaches ( EMDR, CBT, DBT, IFS and others) that can give you powerful tools to train your brain against anxiety, depression, emotional distress, anger issues, and other struggles.
Are you wanting to feel differently or have something change in your life but dont know how to get there? Sometimes we just need help generating the internal and external life we crave. I believe that early relationships in our life affect the way we think, feel, and behave towards the people we care about. It even changes the way our brains develop and personalities express themselves! I use a variety of interventions to support you in uncovering patterns that are causing problems, heal, and learn new ways of being. You have many strengths just waiting to be used. It would be an honor to walk alongside you.

My approach utilizes EMDR, IFS, and psychoeducation on the brain, body, and trauma.
I am an EMDR certified therapist and consultant- in- training. I strive to empower clients with insight, education, and skills to help make sense of what transpires in the brain and the body while navigating life with unhealed trauma and/or an eating disorder. Through this process, clients are able to work through content that has created a disruption between the brain-body connection. This therapeutic work, while challenging, can be transformative and helps bring a more present, regulated, open, and authentic self to clients daily lives.

I utilize frameworks in CBT, DBT, ACT, TFCBT, CPT, MI, family systems, solutions focused and trained in EMDR.
Whether you are struggling with sadness, finding the energy to do things in life, low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, trauma, unhealthy coping, or even masking your emotions; you are capable and you can heal. I truly believe that most people will do well when they know how to do well. It's hard to ask for help and it's hard to accept the help. We just get stuck in the quick fix, easiest option, or the least emotionally draining route. My style towards therapy is direct, relational, and authentic. I won't sugar coat things or tell you what you "want" to hear, and I hope the same from you. This is about you and for you.

I'm certified in perinatal mental health and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization + Reprocessing), a trauma processing therapy, and enjoy working with clients who are motivated to grow and heal.
You imagined the path to parenthood to look a lot different. Pregnancy, trying to conceive, coping with losses and becoming a parent for the first (or umpteenth time) can be quite different than expected. It's important to get help if you're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious as you anticipate and cope with these transitions.

I am a Certified Therapist, Approved Consultant, and Trainer through the EMDR International Association and have extensive experience and advanced training in using EMDR to treat PTSD, Dissociation, Anxiety, & Mood Disorders.
I specialize in the treatment of trauma. My approach moves beyond being an empathetic listener to using state-of-the-art, evidenced-based strategies for creating relief and change. I have found EMDR Therapy to be a powerful, neurologically-based approach to address memories that have become "stuck". These frozen memories can be either severe traumas (abuse, rape, or life-threatening injury) or small but significant adverse life events. EMDR can effectively resolve memories that have made the past feel very much present and have forced current life experiences to be filtered through a negative, distorted lense.
