Most of us experience times in our lives when we feel stuck. We find ourselves in a place where we are unhappy or restless, where we are not using our skills and potential and might feel disconnected from our loved ones. In therapy, I focus on increasing self-compassionate behavior, gaining hopefulness, finding clarity in our beliefs and decisions, and recognizing our potential. I am a Certified Daring Way and Rising Strong Facilitator who brings Dr. Brené Brown's principles of cultivating a wholehearted life through authenticity, vulnerability, and self-compassion into my psychotherapy. I have also completed my teacher training in Mindful Self-Compassion.
As life unfolds and new challenges and transitions arise, we sometimes need to re-evaluate our beliefs, habits and decisions. It is important to reflect on what has worked and what has not worked for us in the past to create new coping skills in the areas we want to change.
I am a co-founder of the San Diego Center for Well Being which is a place for the community to come together and learn through classes, groups, psychotherapy and workshops. We offer programs that help people cultivate a healthy balanced way of being in the world.
