Individuals, couples, & marriage therapy - San Diego, CA

Depression, Anxiety, and Couple's Counseling

CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Insight-Oriented Therapy in San Diego

You’re here because you know something is wrong. This is not how you want to feel or live your life. You’re clear on part of the problem, but you still feel lost and confused. 


You’re used to getting things done on your own. Now you are at a tipping point. 


I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families that are struggling due to:


  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Trauma
  • Stress
  • Conflict
  • Life transitions
  • Loss (deaths, relationships, work)

Counseling and therapy can:


  • Provide relief from sadness and anger.
  • Give you tools to manage traumatic memories. 
  • Help you make sense of your thoughts and feelings.
  • Make it easier to respond to stress and make better choices. 
  • Find and create a purpose to live a life worth living.

As a former Marine and as a psychologist, I aim to help and empower others. 

At Encomium our mission is to excavate undiscovered resources, strengths, and reservoirs of resilience inherent in the very nature of being human.

How Does Therapy at Encomium Psychology Work?


You and your experiences are different and “other.” As a result, you need a therapy experience that is also more diverse. 


I use a strong foundation of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Based therapy, and other science-backed methods to provide personalized, cutting-edge treatment. 


You can learn more about me and my approach by visiting the About Me page.
