Counseling in Encinitas, CA. Find the Right Therapist.

My approach to therapy is very warm, caring, and straight forward. I have worked as a psychologist in my Carlsbad private practice for over 22 years. My goal is to work with you to reduce your distress and help improve the quality of your life.

I practice alternative approaches to emotional healing and wellness because traditional psychotherapy isn’t for everyone. I integrate an individual’s body, mind, and spirit/spirituality because sometimes we are stuck in one or all of these vital areas of our experience.

Sometimes life hurts! If you want connection in your relationships, the ability to deal with life’s challenges and harmony in your family, therapy can help. I create a safe, warm and respectful environment where you can be seen, heard, and your experiences understood.

With the CBT and Seven Dimensions of Transformational Living (7-DTL) approach, let's identify your strengths leading to the attainment of life-transformative goals, supported by the concept that "Microchange leads to substantive change" (Microchange360.com).

Are you stressed or anxious? I provide a safe place to explore your concerns, help you to reconnect to inner strengths, restore relationships, reduce anxiety/stress. Call for a free telephone consultation to begin your breakthrough towards happiness and fulfillment.

My approach is collaborative. To specifically mold my work to fit each client, I integrate a variety of theories and strategies personally designed to improve communication skills, conflict resolution skills, self-esteem, relief from depression & anxiety.
