I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), while incorporating a holistic approach to both. A combination of these three approaches can help reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. 

 CBT seeks to give you the ability to recognize when your thoughts might become troublesome, and gives you techniques to redirect those thoughts. 

 DBT helps you find ways to accept yourself, feel safe, and manage your emotions to help regulate potentially destructive or harmful behaviors.

 A Holistic Approach helps you learn ways to listen to how your body is taking in all of the messages from the brain and reacting (tension headaches, stomach issues) and helps you take control back by learning skills such as breath work, meditation, and stretching. Once we are able to see these warning signs from the body, realign with it, you are able to take control back. 

Help yourself to a hydrating station with tea, water, hot cocoa, and coffee available at each session in our Relaxation Room.

Come with an open mind and willingness to explore yourself
Bring a journal and pen to jot down “aha” moments or assignments
Come in comfy clothing in case we stretch
Block out time after the session to self-care and reflect in our Relaxation Room. 

Yes! Not everyone is comfortable with in-person sessions, or lives in San Diego. Therapy/Coaching has never been easier to access with many different options from phone, virtual, or in-person sessions.
