Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in San Diego, CA

About My Clients

Here at Strong Sense of Self Counseling, we strive to create an environment for our clients to freely explore their feelings and thoughts in a safe place. We are passionate about partnering with individuals who are struggling with depression, self-esteem, anxiety, grief and relationship issues. Other strengths include: work problems, family problems and trauma.

My Background and Approach

I work with individuals, couples, families and teens. Iam trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), which is the leading approach for PTSD and those suffering from traumatic events. I received a Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Hope International University in 2017 and a Bachelors Degree in Interpersonal Communication at Vanguard University in 2014. In addition I am an Adjunct Professor at Hope International University & The Chicago School of Psychology teaching Counseling Theories and Trauma courses. Outside of counseling I have partnered with Bloom Foundation in creating a journal to improve self esteem for young women who have been bullied.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Trauma can hinder our ability to trust ourselves and those around us. I help clients process life’s hardships so they can start feeling safe, secure, and free from the issues that hold them back. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal and become their most authentic selves.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
