I pursued my Masters because I have always been someone who had a skill for listening to others and in some cases helping them; it was done so often that my parents who were divorced both individually would make comments about how I could be a therapist. One day after witnessing someone who often sought my feedback manage a situation on her own I realized how fulfilling it could be to not just create the space for someone to share what troubles them but to witness them grow.

My belief is that our pain and dysfunction is rooted in both experiences that have happened to us as well as external experiences - such as systemic, generational, and contextual factors weaved throughout each person’s story. As your therapist, we will explore both your current crises as well as past experiences that contribute to prolonged and chronic suffering. I also consider collateral care alongside your treatment essential - I want to be connected with your team in your healing journey to give you the best, most well-rounded care.

Hello there, my name is Jonney! I come from a Portuguese heritage and while I was born and raised in Northern California I've been living in San Diego since 2018. My approach is honest, collaborative, and I strive to work with individuals and couples to bring about their motivations for change. I work with adults who are dealing with challenges around life transitions, wounds from the past, identity, sexuality, grief, anxiety, and many other areas of focus. My hope is that by unearthing the roots of these problems, we can give them what they need to heal, and adjust how they affect your life in the present.

In today's 24/7 instant communication and gratification culture, stress and pressure are often all too common, in addition to dealing with COVID-19, its limitations to life and social isolation. Our jobs, relationships, friendships and even our pets demand time from us and results in little "me" time. Going offline to nurture yourself is all too uncommon but can be the key to a more contented, joyous, and thriving life. My practice specializes in helping you have a more happy, healthy, productive, and more importantly relaxed life. Taking an hour of your time to go offline has great benefits to creating peace in your life.

Through focusing on firefighter mental health issues during my doctoral program (as well as being a “fire wife”), I have also become a specialist in mental health issues within the fire service.

Relationships can be wonderful at the best of times, and downright painful at the worst of times. How well do you understand your reactions in these distressed moments? Your partner's? Do you feel out of control? Do you feel disconnected? These are just two ways that people can respond to relational distress. I can help you to slow down in these moments to help you express yourself in a way that is congruent, and most importantly, in a way that lets you be heard by your partner, family, co-workers, and yourself.
