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.

As an associate marriage and family therapist, I believe in empowering individuals to turn on the light that can guide them into the journey of taking ownership of their lives. By being compassionate and providing a judgment-free safe space, individuals and couples can come to an understanding of the cycles and patterns that are holding them back. As a Hispanic therapist, I understand the struggle of my community to embrace the importance of mental health care and address this by providing culturally sensitive support that can make a significant difference in their healing journey.

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.

Change is constant. At times, it leaves us feeling like we’ve disconnected. You may feel stuck, or your body & emotions numb. Maybe you feel drawn to seek a fresh perspective on issues you’ve had with yourself, a partner, friends, or family. At times, we know we need a shift, but it sounds exhausting to go through alone. Many of my clients find that they feel better when they have an ear to listen and affirming space to feel seen and explore. You have the medicine, and i'm happy to be a compassionate witness on your healing journey, please reach out to collaborate with me today!

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.
