Individual Therapy Services in La Jolla

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a safe and confidential space to process, grow, and heal. I work with a variety of clients, specializing in supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, self esteem, sports psychology, and trauma.

I take a person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are, while drawing from a range of evidence-based modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, sports psychology principles, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.

*Offered both in person and telehealth via a HIPAA compliant platform*

Individual Therapy can be offered online through a HIPAA compliant platform. This form of therapy provides flexibility and convenience of connecting in the comfort of your home.

Sports Psychology for Student-Athletes

I specialize working with student athletes to strengthen their mental performance and support them in managing challenges both in and out of their sport. With a background in both collegiate and professional athletics, I am able to utilize my personal experience as well as training to help athletes.

I help student athletes to improve their mental health while strengthening focus, managing pressure, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Through therapy, we build strategies for resilience, confidence, and mental performance. My goal is set up athletes for success both on and off court!

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences and life events. EMDR engages client in Bilateral Stimulation primarily. Bilateral Stimulation is a mechanism that activates both sides of the brain, which allows for the processing of memories, emotions, and incidents that are stuck in the nervous system. EMDR aims to help clients reprocess traumatic memories, reduce their emotional intensity, and develop coping skills.
