Chronic Pain Therapists in San Luis Obispo, CA

Are you finding it harder and harder to keep it all together? Perhaps you’re walking through life with a heavy sadness in your chest. Some days, maybe most days, you’re just going through the motions. Too often you feel fragile, and even little things can send your mood tumbling or leave you feeling shaken. The belief that you can live a balanced life seems farther and farther away. You’re feeling more alone, more distanced and disconnected from others. Yet, you don’t have to keep living a limited existence because of your depression, trauma, or anxiety.

Our team offers a safe, supportive environment and a warm, compassionate, open-minded approach. We work with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem, life transitions, college life, young adulthood, relationships, men’s issues, parenting struggles, grief and loss, work/career and exploring existential and spiritual concerns. The heart of our work is to help you develop deeper self-understanding, self-compassion and coping skills while working through issues of the present and the past. We offer a variety of approaches including mindfulness, art therapy, IFS informed and somatic work. We also offer 2-3 day couples intensives.

All emotions have a job - to bring something to our attention, to give us information about our world, sometimes to give us the physical energy to take action. I see my role as a therapist would be to help you better understand yourself, and when it fits to teach you tools and skills so that you can be effective in your life. I can be a guide and an ally through many challenges - these include depression and anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, caregiving, life-threatening illnesses, grief and loss. Whatever emotion or situation led you to seek help, you can use it to heal your life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in California with 23 years of professional work experience. My mission is to deliver life-changing care to teens, adults, families, couples and geriatric individuals who experience a wide array of mental health conditions and current life challenges. Such as: traumatic stress, struggles with feeling scattered and not accomplishing your goals, managing emotions, challenging negative thinking, and reducing stress and anxiety.

We often find ourselves considering psychotherapy when the things we are doing no longer seem to be working in creating the life we want. And while it’s not uncommon to experience some anxiety, sadness, doubt, etc., (because sometimes life just is hard), when it starts to feel terribly overwhelming, you don’t have to suffer alone. Within these challenging moments, there can be meaningful potential for healing and personal growth. Psychotherapy is an excellent tool to help you understand yourself more deeply, repair your relationships (with yourself and others), and offer relief in the face of difficult emotional experiences.
