Adults Therapists in San Luis Obispo County, CA

Hi there, I provide psychotherapy support for children and adults who are struggling with mental health symptoms, relationship dynamics, and/or behavioral difficulties. The concerns you have for yourself, your relationship, or your child may lead you to feel worried, lost, or overwhelmed. I work through a lens of attachment theory, as well as cognitive behavioral and play therapy, to help clients alleviate the struggles they are having. I also incorporate the evidence-based Gottman Method when working with couples.

Adults may spread themselves too thin.
Reality check. Life really isn't one big happy party. Stuff happens. Bad stuff. Sometimes, really bad stuff that shakes you to the core, leaving a sense of loss and disconnection from the things you love. At the other end of the continuum are the little bumps along the way. The hiccups that take you out of the comfort zone temporarily and just need a little smoothing. Hopefully, that's where most of life happens. If not, therapy may help. Wherever you fall on the spectrum of life's challenges and whatever your age, let's work together to get you closer to a happy, healthy, fulfilling life.

I enjoy working with adults of all ages.
At its best, therapy helps you find answers within yourself. I start with a belief in the basic, natural goodness of every person. I believe, as did Carl Jung, that even the most distressing symptoms are expressions of the individual’s tendency toward growth and healing. In other words, symptoms like anxiety, anger, and depression are signs not of a “sick person,” but of the psyche protesting against unhealthy circumstances.

These coping skills affecting our lives as adults often stem from hurts that happened during childhood and were never healed.
Do you turn to food, alcohol, or drugs to deal with feeling lonely or rejected, or to cope with added stress and anxiety? Have you lost the joyful feelings that you used to have in life? Do you feel fear stricken, even in the “comfort” of your own home? Do you feel like there are so many things to manage and your forever growing “to do list” leaves you feeling completely overwhelmed? I work with women who have experienced tough stuff in their childhood and feel like they have lost their way. Sometimes we turn to food, alcohol, and drugs or, we withdraw from friends and family, just to cope. Does this sound like you?
