San Diego Therapist

---

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in San Diego, dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life's challenges and build stronger relationships. With over 20 years of experience, I offer a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental approach to therapy. My specialties include relationship issues, trauma, stress reduction, self-esteem building, anxiety, and depression.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to your unique needs, drawing from evidence-based practices such as Gottman Method Couples Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Flash Technique, and Mindfulness.  My training as a Level 3 Gottman therapist and Level 2 EMDR therapist allows me to effectively address complex issues in relationships and trauma.

I believe in empowering clients to discover their inner strength and develop the tools they need for lasting change, both during and after therapy by helping them build their personal toolbox.

I have been working in the field since 2001.My experience includes working in private practice, Psychiatric Emergencies with law enforcement as PERT clinician, hospitals, and outpatient clinics, giving me a broad understanding of mental health and well-being.
