You may have held doubts about talk therapy and perhaps are thinking therapy may not work at all for what you are dealing with. Psychotherapy like all science is continually changing. Both new and long held approaches to well-being are vast. I invite you to consider Brainspotting before you rule out therapy entirely. My role as a Brainspotting clinician is to offer you support, as you discover your innate capacity for positive self change. I specialize in trauma focused therapy, specializing in treating anxiety disorders. I focus on various forms of addiction, OCD, behavioral issues, depression, bi-polar and mood disorders.

I am a masters level trained Brainspotting clinician and a U.S. Army veteran. I believe in facilitating change in a supportive environment, following and observing your amazing capacity to heal from trauma in your therapeutic work. I work with veterans, first-responders, and other populations struggling with unresolved trauma and anxiety disorders.

Your unique circumstances are to be understood, honored respected and explored in a judgement free, supportive and caring environment. The issues that you bring into therapy remain entirely up to you. I will listen to your wants and needs; joining you on the journey towards your desired sense of well-being.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Oceanside

Searching for therapists in Oceanside starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy in Oceanside for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, look at the specialties, therapy styles, and populations listed in their profiles. Details like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples therapy, or experience with specific concerns can help you decide who may be a strong fit.

In a mid-sized coastal city like Oceanside, your best match may be near Downtown, Mission Avenue, Oceanside Beach, or available virtually from elsewhere in California. Some people prefer an office setting, while others choose virtual sessions for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new clients, offers times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they communicate, structure sessions, and describe what working together may look like.

Therapy in Oceanside can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can compare therapists in Oceanside, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
