EMDR Therapists in San Diego County, CA

Do you feel like a misunderstood weirdo, even though you might look normal? I’ve got your back. Feel cramped by societal expectations and want to find the freedom and empowerment to be fully yourself? Step into my (virtual) office. I want to work with you if you are on the precipice of change, or in the throes of shedding the skin of your former self. I want to work with you if, somewhere in there, you suspect that these times are the ones that hone our edges, define who we are and are not, and allow us to emerge from the ashes more empowered, brighter, stronger, and more fully in ownership of our truth.

I offer non-judgmental, direct, compassionate and effective therapy. I possess 20+ years of extensive experience and education in the successful treatment of relationship issues often related to unresolved trauma. In therapy, we are a team and you are the “driver”, my role is to navigate the journey and this life is all about the journey.

Dana is a highly experienced Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who has helped clients from diverse backgrounds deal with a wide range of issues.

Welcome! Do you have chronic pain, chronic fatigue, or chronic illness you are managing? Or, do you love someone or care for someone with these issues? If so, you are in the right place. I specialize in working with chronic pain, chronic illness, medical trauma, neurocognitive issues (memory). Living with pain/illness comes with enormous grief, and it can be incredibly lonely.

My goal is to help those seeking healing from trauma and regaining better management of mental health challenges. My therapy style is supportive and collaborative.

I provide a nonjudgmental and caring environment that allows clients to comfortably work through their current challenges and reach their goals.

I have worked in several areas of mental health care and have truly found my purpose and passion in assisting those who struggle with trauma and/or addiction. I understand how trauma has been locked within the psyche and having an individual feel as though they are stuck within themselves. I understand that addiction was a solution to several problems at the time because it allowed relief but in reality it only masked the underlying issues. My goal for each of my clients is to have them recognize their own strengths and abilities so they may continue or begin to live meaningful lives.

You want to feel content and self-assured but inside you are struggling with second guessing yourself or feeling stuck, feeling out of control and powerless. Maybe you are feeling that something, deep down, could be wrong with you. Or maybe you are frustrated, resentful and angry at being misunderstood or unappreciated. Do you feel like no matter how hard you try to be the person you are “supposed to be” it’s never enough? You might feel like giving up because you are tired of trying to improve your life, but keep repeating the patterns that make you feel like you will never measure up.

Welcome, Bem Vindo, Bienvenido! I'm a native Brazilian offering sessions in English, Portuguese, or Spanglish. I live and work in La Jolla, CA and have been enjoying beautiful San Diego since 1996. I have conducted over 20 thousand therapy sessions, and over 1 thousand Psych Assessments. I am thrilled to share a culturally sensitive and unique therapeutic approach and will be an active participant in our sessions. And yes, that means, together, we will likely laugh, cry, discuss relationships, worries, fears, and/or self sabotaging but all in an effort to help you move forward into the person you know that you know you can be.

Has life become overwhelming to you? Do you question yourself or your ability to be a loving spouse, friend, or parent? Is your child's challenging behaviors or your own traumatic childhood getting in the way of your dreams? Are you raising an adopted or foster child with a trauma history or unexplainable difficult behaviors? Has any of these caused you to feel secretly depressed and/or fearful that no one will understand or even really care?

I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to make positive changes in their lives. I see adolescents and adults for a range of clinical issues including ADHD, PTSD, sleep issues, anxiety, depression and anger management. I also provide mental skills training to athletes and high performers who are focused on making it to the next level, recovering from injury or want to maximize their production.

If you’ve made it here, I’m sure you’d like to feel more in control and powerful without neglecting the people and things you care about. The problem is that daily stressors, illness, family pressures, lack of boundaries and trauma keep us feeling stuck and emotionally overwhelmed. Therapy helps us clarify our values, increases emotional resilience, decreases overall stress, allows us to feel understood and gives us our power back. I work with women ages 19+ and the LGBTQ+ population to help you achieve these goals in a safe, affirming environment.
