Parenting can be tough. You wonder if your child will ever grow out of their excessive worries, meltdowns, or tantrums, and you become exhausted and feel guilty for being frustrated with them. The nightly battle with homework and reports from school are wearing you down. The power struggle with your spirited toddler or your strong willed adolescent may leave you overwhelmed and wondering what you can do differently. Communicating and feeling unified with your partner or caregiver may be difficult or your styles may be different, creating a state of uncertainty or chaos in the home.

If you are here today because your teen or child is feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, unmotivated, or your family is stuck in conflict; you are in the right place.

Using your feelings of fear, frustration, and maybe grief; to push for help and change, is pure courage. Returning to that place, where your child feels good again and your family feels like home, is a beautiful and realistic goal.

I have a growing specialty with survivors of abusive and unethical treatment programs, including the “Troubled Teen Industry.
Quality therapy is not the fastest or most-marketed approach. Society loves to push the quick, the extreme, the “take this or do that!” But what if you tried different advice and proposed “fixes” and still feel unfulfilled? Even by therapists offering a popular or “gold standard” intervention? What do you actually need? In my journey as both a survivor and a psychologist, I’ve seen that the answer to this lies in the power of your own mind! I know, a hugely challenging task, but therapy from a fitting and experienced professional can definitely help!

San Diego, CA 92102
Welcome! If you are looking to have your child or teen tested for Autism, ADHD, PDA, giftedness or other forms of neurodiversity from an affirming lens, you are in the right place! I provide assessment for children ages 6 to 18. The process involves an in-person testing session with the child as well as thorough interviews with the parents, family members, and teachers. I will also do a record review of any previous testing that has been completed, report cards, and any lEPs/504 plans. This is an extensive deep dive assessment that will help you better understand your child's identity, support needs, and ways to best parent them.

It's hard knowing that times are tough for your teen, though taking the step to find something that can help is such a strength and testament to how much you care about them and the first step towards change.
As a parent, you've noticed a change where your adolescent or teen just isn't the way they used to be. Their smile is gone and they're more to themselves, stressed, unmotivated, anxious, sad, or angry and you know something has to change. You know they often feel misunderstood, are quiet, sensitive, don't easily trust adults, or have seen so many therapists they couldn't make progress with and you're not sure they will open up. You need someone to connect with your teen, join their world, and support them in regaining happiness and stability to meet their goal of having a happy, hopeful and successful life.

It is particularly heartwarming when one of my people I originally worked with when they were a teenager or young adult returns to me as they navigate a later life stage.
Are you wanting to reach out for help, but keep telling yourself you ‘should’ be able to solve everything on your own? Are you pressuring yourself to muscle your way out of depression or anxiety? Then why would we each be sharing Earth with more than 7 BILLION other people if we are supposed to handle everything all by ourselves? I believe it is because we ARE meant to help each other! Since graduating in 1986 with a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and then earning my license as a MFT in 1990, I count myself lucky to have worked with the many adults, children, teens, families and couples whose paths have crossed mine.
