Recipient of the Best of Encinitas Award for 2023 in the category of Mental Health
If you’ve made it here, I’m sure you’d like to feel more in control and powerful without neglecting the people and things you care about. The problem is that daily stressors, illness, family pressures, lack of boundaries and trauma keeps us feeling stuck and emotionally overwhelmed.
I believe therapy helps us clarify our values, increases emotional resilience, allows us to feel understood and seen and gives us our power back. I know this can be hard to do on your own. That’s why I would love to talk with you about how therapy can help!
Therapy should feel like you are talking to someone who truly cares about your wellbeing, someone who is empathetic, curious and strives to understand you. If you work with me, you will quickly discover I bring warmth and laughter into our sessions, as I’m passionate about developing strong, healing connections with my clients. I want to make sure you feel like you are talking to someone who not only respects you, but is able to help you feel more like yourself after each time we see each other. I can’t wait to meet you and get to know you more!
