I am an experienced psychotherapist with a specialized practice that combines psychotherapy and hypnosis. I offer an integrative form of treatment that focuses on the psychological, social, spiritual and physical aspects of an individual’s experience. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches to tailor treatment to the specific needs of my clients.
Areas of clinical specialty include depression, anxiety, relationship issues, family issues, crisis intervention, posttraumatic stress, anger management, complicated grief, spiritual conflict, physical abuse and sexual abuse. Through the use of hypnosis, I also assist patients with specific health management and wellness issues including pain management, sleep disorders, weight management and smoking addiction.
I also have training in Biblical Counseling to provide Christian based therapy. This is an area of special interest in my practice and the framework from which I draw personal and professional perspective. I help individuals explore and identify their personal belief systems to understand how this might be a significant resource in their own experience.
In my office, you will find a safe and supportive environment. A good rapport between client and psychotherapist is essential for therapy to be effective. I believe the level of personal comfort and ease clients have in my office is a key element to the success of therapy. Working together, we can move your life in the direction you desire.
I offer individual, couples and family sessions for adults, adolescents and children, with practice locations in both Encinitas and Carlsbad.
