San Diego Psychotherapist and Addiction Counselor

Asking for help or support can be extremely difficult, especially when you're asking for help from someone who knows very little about you. As a healer, I am very interested in getting to know you so that I can help you work toward your goals and make significant positive changes in your life.


I highly respect and value the trust and honesty that my patients give me when sharing their inner-most problems and concerns through the course of therapy or individual counseling, and I always do my absolute best to help resolve issues effectively and at a low fee that is affordable to you.


Healthy change depends on the helping relationship between patient and therapist.


Therapy and individual counseling are quite different from crisis intervention. People often seek out therapy when they are in crisis, but therapy and counseling cannot happen when a person is in crisis. When we resolve the crisis, real therapy and counseling can begin.


I will help you get out of crisis so that therapy can help you can grow.


The internet is full of quick-fixes and self-help guides for common problems that face us every day. But what if you find yourself in the same kind of situation, over and over again? Or, try as you might, what if you simply cannot understand what is happening in your life?


Therapy can help you when quick-fixes and self-help guides fail.


There are often very deep causes for our problems that take time to sort out and resolve. If problems or issues run very deep, individual psychotherapy might take months or even years with the best therapist to resolve those problems.


Therapy and individual counseling often isn't easy, but it will pay off if you stick with it. There might not be a quick fix to your concerns, but together we can find practical solutions and ways to avoid repeating the same problems again in your life.

My only goal as a therapist and counselor is to improve your quality of life.


As a psychological assistant, I can work with you using many of the same therapy and counseling techniques that psychologists use, at a low fee. Behind the scenes, my work with you will be supervised by a licensed clinical psychologist who will ensure that you receive the highest possible quality of therapy and counseling. It's like having two therapists for the price of one!


Feel free to explore this site to learn more about me and my philosophy for counseling and therapy. I do my best to provide a safe, comfortable, and predictable therapy environment for my patients. Whatever brings you in, I hope that we will be able to work together to create positive changes in your life.
