I am dedicated to helping individuals make meaningful, lasting changes by developing coping skills that fit their unique life experiences. With over 20 years of experience in addiction treatment and mental health services, I bring a grounded, compassionate, and client‐centered approach to therapy. I believe that you know yourself better than anyone else, and my role is to support you in uncovering your strengths, healing from past experiences, and building a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
My specialties include substance use disorders, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and co‐occurring mental health challenges. I am committed to helping clients improve their relationships, reduce stress, and strengthen their sense of self‐worth. I focus on the whole person—mind, body, and environment—because growth in one area naturally supports growth in all others.
With a Masters in Holistic Counseling Psychology as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and with a Masters Certification in Intuitive and Energy Medicine (MIM) I offer an integrative approach that blends evidence based therapeutic modalities with psycho-spiritual practices to support healing, growth, and transformation for personal and spiritual development.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered mental health care to individuals across California. With a background in both nursing and psychiatry, I specialize in diagnosing, treating, and supporting patients with a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and more.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in San Diego
Finding family therapists in San Diego starts with understanding what your family wants support with. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, relationship strain, and communication across generations. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, not just one person. As you compare San Diego therapists, look for someone whose profile lists family therapy experience, relevant training, and an approach that fits the concerns you want to discuss.
San Diego has many therapy options across neighborhoods like North Park, Hillcrest, La Jolla, and Chula Vista, which can make the search easier to start and harder to narrow. Consider whether in-person sessions near home, school, or work fit your schedule, or whether virtual appointments make it easier for more family members to join. Session attendance may vary, including the full family, smaller groups, or individual family members. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each therapist structures family sessions, handles communication patterns, and supports fit before you book.
Family therapy in San Diego can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for family therapists who are accepting new patients, compare availability, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details. From there, you can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
