Approach

I hold a steady, attentive stance that invites you to notice what’s working and to name what needs to change, bringing warmth and clear direction to each session. From my San Diego office I offer therapy in English and Spanish, pacing sessions to your rhythm and tailoring practical tools you can use between meetings. We blend present-moment awareness, skill-building and psychoeducation to address grief, transitions, mood and recovery, with short practices or reflections to try at home. This way of working often fits people seeking grounded, practical growth.
