Therapists in San Diego, CA

I am experienced in many areas of Psychology and have worked in the Social Service Field for over 20 years. I am very open minded and I believe that all people have the ability to change. It would be my pleasure and privilege to help you resolve your problems.

To give you the tools to resolve your life challenges/problems is one of my goals. I can help you to find and expand your internal resources, and to create the lasting, positive changes that you are looking for. I provide a supportive, nurturing environment for your safety and comfort. I specialize in depression, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma and more. I love working with adolescents to help them resolve issues and make the right choices. For couples, we work to create a safe space, good communication, problem solving, balance, love and intimacy. I have ample experience working with spiritual issues upon request.

I enjoy helping others reach their full potential by gaining courage and confidence while learning ways to overcome the obstacles life can bring. Such as a loss of a loved one whether unexpectedly or naturally, issues with marriage or family relationships, divorce, health changes or addictions. My goal is to support my clients through a difficult time, help them to have hope, and tap into their inner resilience. I have experience with complicated grief. My heart is to walk along side those that have been affected by violent or unexpected death during an unbearable time, supporting them toward healing.

In my years in practice the ideal client is always the one willing to effect changes in their present situation. Often times I see clients who have gone to other practitioner, but are yet to find the right fit and level of understanding they need. In my practice I take the approach of collaborating and starting "where the client is" in an effort to adequately help and not merely make the client feel better.

I have been helping others improve their mental and emotional well-being for over 25 years. I enjoy working with all ages (infancy through adulthood and old age). I am equipped to handle severe mental illness and crises as well as difficult life transitions and stressful times. As a former Navy Psychologist I work exceptionally well in areas related to military service and traumatic stress and substance use disorders. I work in a collaborative way to find the most effective treatment for you. By the end of your first session, we have identified the problems to work on and a plan to help.

My goal for your therapy journey is to develop a relationship where you can feel trust so that you can become your authentic self. My therapeutic style is very eclectic and versatile. I want to provide a warm environment for you to feel better and grow.
