Family Therapy in Carlsbad, CA

I am a warm and compassionate therapist who enjoys working with adolescents and adults. In my practice, I strive to help clients define and understand their obstacles, set reasonable goals and empower them to make improvements in their lives. Throughout treatment, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space, allowing clients to work at a pace that is comfortable for them. By sharing my positive energy and enthusiasm, I give clients the support and encouragement they need to create change.

I am currently offering video and phone based therapy to those in need. As mental health is an essential service, I am continuing to work with individuals and families during this unprecedented time. I am also continuing to offer psychological assessment services and can also offer much of my services via video telehealth. For most individuals, video or phone based sessions will be helpful to address their needs. Depending on circumstance, I am also able to meet with individuals in my office, so long as they are healthy and following CDC guidelines on washing hands, keeping distance, and covering their face.

I am deeply committed to my clinical work and consider it a great privilege to accompany my clients in their personal journey as they navigate life's challenges. I strive to create a therapy space that is warm, open, inviting, supportive and affirming. My intervention techniques are strength-based and informed by the latest research. Although I enjoy working with a variety of concerns, my areas of expertise focus on adjustment to life transitions, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, and topics related to diversity. In addition to maintaining a thriving private practice, I am also a Professor at Alliant University.

In times of transitions like getting married, having kids, getting divorced or changing careers, the wounds you thought were dealt with, can unexpectedly resurface. Past trauma (large or small) may have always been in the background unknowingly affecting every decision you ever made. Unresolved trauma can manifest as issues around self-esteem, depression, anxiety, or a pattern of choosing the wrong partner, or a job that makes you feel stuck. Maybe it manifests in the feeling of longing for something you don't have, even when you feel like you have it all.

Are you an adult who hasn't fully gotten over how you were treated as a child? Do you keep repeating the same negative relationship patterns or have negative beliefs about your worth? Are you overcome with sadness about the childhood you should have had and feel that you weren't given a "voice" or "choice" as a child? Have you experienced emotional neglect and/or feel that you weren't emotionally cared for as a child? Are you having difficulty navigating your adult relationship(s) with one or more of your parents because of how they treated you or because they are emotionally immature? If any of these feel true to you, I can help.

My belief is that therapy should be a collaborative process that allows authenticity and trust to foster insight and growth, exploring how the past informs the present. I truly value the importance of the therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist. Rapport between clients and myself, I believe, is key for a long-lasting, trusting relationship. I have experience working with issues related to anxiety and mood disorders, relationship distress, life transitions, family conflict, and more. I offer a safe space for exploring and understanding oneself with a non-judgmental, warm stance.

You are determined, smart and used to navigating challenges but this feels different. Normally you could handle it yourself or push the worry away but bigger questions are arising and you are left feeling overwhelmed, lost in ambivalence, stressed, anxious and not sure what can help. You feel like your dreams and what you have worked for are slipping away and it's impacting your life & relationships. This may be triggering lots of painful or scary feelings, memories from your past, not feeling like yourself or the idea that now is the time to make real change and get help.
