Therapists for college students near San Diego, CA

Reaching out for therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're juggling academic pressure, career decisions, family expectations, and the stress from everyday life. If you're here, something in your life may feel heavy, uncertain, or stuck. You don’t have to navigate this stage of life alone. I work with college students and young adults navigating life transitions, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and mood concerns. This stage of life can bring pressure to “have it all together,” even when you feel overwhelmed underneath. Therapy is a space where you don’t have to perform or prove anything. You show up as you are, and together we build clarity, practical coping skills, confidence, and resilience. I hold a master’s degree in social work and a bachelor’s degree in communication, and my approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I draw from CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care to tailor our work to your goals and experiences. Reaching out is often the hardest step-and it can also be the beginning of meaningful growth. If you’re ready, I invite you to connect so we can take the next step together.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed, confused, or depressed? Are you feeling disconnected or lost as you navigate your college journey? Wondering if you may have impostor syndrome? Are you procrastinating and cannot find any motivation to study? Having family conflicts? Relationship issues? Boundary issues? You are not alone! I have experience working with people from all walks of life. I am here to support and collaborate with you to meet your needs and develop new skills to help you feel happier in life. There is no one-size-fits-all counseling approach. I have always used person-centered and integrated therapy approaches to help my clients, such as Cognitive-behavioral therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Narrative therapy, Play therapy, EMDR therapy, Brainspotting, Gottman Couple therapy and Art therapy. I have found that we are all unique individuals who have similar experiences but unique details in life. Since I began counseling, each modality and approach has its pros and cons; we cannot always rely on one modality or approach to handle every situation. Sometimes, being creative and flexible can help my clients better understand themselves. I have had many counselors in my life, from academic counselors to mental health counselors, and they all have brought me wisdom to help me identify my issues and have helped me realize nothing is more important than our health. Having healthy communication skills and learning about others’ cultures and practices can reduce anxiety between both parties. We often have various unique obstacles to face, but if we can be flexible to adapt to our challenges and find alternatives and resources, this can be our key to problem-solving and a huge step to our success.

You are the expert in your own life and I look forward to guiding the therapeutic process for healing. I offer a warm, non judgmental environment for you to express your authentic self.

If you are in need of counseling, coaching, or support as you address your relationships, I would love the opportunity to help you understand where you are at and assist you in getting where you want to go. I have been counseling individuals and couples for many years and have seen many make significant progress in their lives. I would enjoy meeting and working with you! Clients find "life coaching" allows them to explore their passion & to experience progress in their life now. I use tools like life mapping, passion testing, etc. to help you explore your life and future. Different from the work of a psychologist, coaching focuses on what you are called to do & how to get about it. Relationships can be challenging and sometimes you need help in developing skills to enhance communication, resolve conflict, etc. I have over 20 years experience of working with couples & individuals in helping relationships.
