| Practice Description: |
All of us need support at times. This is particularly true if you are feeling depressed, anxious, angry or confused. My clients have told me that they appreciate the fact that I am down-to-earth, warm and genuine. My style tends to be informal, low on pretense and psychobabble, but high on support, honesty and understanding. I have experience with a broad range of problems and approaches. I believe in providing a warm, supportive and thought-provoking environment where you can feel safe to explore your concerns. My counseling clients come from all walks of life and are concerned with a wide variety of issues.
INDIVIDUALS: I specialize in treating Depression, Anxiety, Self-Esteem, Personal Growth and Relationship Issues. We focus on getting to the core of the problem so that it does not repeat itself in your life. COUPLES: Is your partner critical? Or distant and aloof? Do your arguments go nowhere? Counseling focuses on communication, handling conflict and repairing & maintaining the emotional bond between partners. Please see my website for more information: www.Therapy-SanDiego.com
I am a Marriage and Family Therapy Registered Intern (52835) and my supervisor is Aimee Zakrewski, MFC 43736.

| Additional Comments: |
Many of my clients seek me out when they are feeling stuck. I believe in not just treating the symptoms of your problems (short term coping skills), but also in the importance of digging deeper, to create lasting change and get you past whatever is blocking you. One of my goals is that you will feel truly heard. Having someone listen that cares about your story is in itself healing and helps one develop self-esteem, confidence and insight. I also strive to provide the level of interaction and feedback that works best for you. For some, all they require is a compassionate and encouraging listener. Most clients, however, benefit from a bit more interaction, from someone who will help them clarify their goals, learn about themselves and offer ideas.
Rather than dwelling on diagnosis, I focus on problem-solving, personal growth and developing insight. Part of our work will concentrate on identifying your innate strengths and capabilities and how they can help you overcome obstacles. I find that this enables clients to find creative and satisfying solutions to their problems. We will only look to your past to the extent it is impacting your present issues.
