As a San Diego therapist I help you gain insight into how your prior life experiences impact your current thinking patterns and behaviors. We work to build new coping strategies, healthy habits, and communication skills.
Change is possible. This may be hard to remember when you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, indecisive, or burned out.
As your therapist I will help you gain insight into how your prior life experiences impact your current thinking patterns, emotions and behaviors. We will work together to build new coping strategies, healthy habits and communication skills. This might involve changing your relationship to suffering, as growth often involves the wisdom learned through growing pains.
My San Diego Psychotherapy services are a collaborative process where we both play an active role in cultivating change in your life.
l will listen carefully to you, ask insight-oriented questions, share my thoughts and observations related to your experiences, and provide education and tools from current perspectives in the field of psychology.
Your active participation is essential to your progress by expressing yourself honestly, being open to feedback, questioning ideas that you do not understand, and most importantly, implementing new strategies in between sessions.
Who should seek San Diego therapist services?
Some people who pursue therapy have a mental health diagnosis, and others do not. Symptoms such as depression and anxiety might indicate a mental health disorder, or they may serve as messengers about current life circumstances. Emotions are not always “disordered.” Instead, they may be a reasonable and appropriate response to a personal or global event.
Positive Change Can Start Today
When we connect, we will discuss your presenting concerns and treatment goals to determine if we might be a good fit for working together. If for some reason, it seems like I may not be able to meet your needs, I will offer a local San Diego resource or referral who can help.
