Bilingual Counseling Services for Adults & Teens in San Diego
As a licensed clinical psychologist with over 24 years of experience in San Diego, I have dedicated my career to helping adults and teens navigate life's challenges through evidence-based therapy. My practice combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and HeartMath techniques to equip clients with practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Bilingual services in English and Spanish ensure cultural sensitivity and accessibility for our diverse community. With a focus on collaboration and personalized care, I create a supportive environment where clients develop self-awareness, healthier relationships, and lasting positive change.My approach emphasizes practical strategies tailored to individual needs, whether through in-person sessions in Sorrento Mesa or secure online therapy across California. I prioritize transparency, ethical practice, and empowering clients to move from merely surviving to thriving in their personal and professional lives.

Sessions focus on improving relationships, work-life balance, and self-awareness through personalized tools. The practice emphasizes creating sustainable changes that enhance overall well-being and daily functioning.
Teen Counseling
Support for teens struggling with anxiety, perfectionism, and social pressures. Techniques like HeartMath help manage stress and build confidence. Sessions address academic stress, relationship challenges, and self-care routines. The approach fosters self-acceptance and equips teens with tools to navigate adolescence and transition into adulthood successfully.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Evidence-based therapy focusing on the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

HeartMath Therapy
Innovative approach combining breathing techniques with heart rhythm monitoring to manage stress and anxiety. Clients gain real-time insights into their body's stress responses and learn techniques to regulate emotions effectively. This method enhances focus, reduces anxiety, and promotes daily balance through scientifically validated tools.
