Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) Therapists in Vallejo, CA

I love helping people let go of the codependent/people-pleasing strategies that often arise in response to a difficult family member. Seeing my clients find more confidence and inner strength is why I do this work.

I have worked in the field of psychology for 26 years now in various capacities, including group homes for children and community mental health centers; I've acted as the Director of Mental Health at a large urban preschool for many years, and also with people of all ages in private practice. My work in the last 5 years has focused more on trauma/EMDR and nervous system regulation (Polyvagal Theory with Stephen Porges) for adolescents and adults as well as parenting support with a speciality in parenting neurodivergent chilren. I have also spent time supervising both psychology trainees and marriage and family interns. I truly love what I do and am always adding to my professional skills over time.

Caring-hearted, when painful experiences disrupt you, find peace. Helping Good-Hearted Confident People Recover from a Life Shock! If your life was disrupted by an unexpected experience and you cannot stop the cycles of self-doubt, sorrow or frustration, help is here. While you have achieved some success and happiness, a curve ball has changed your emotions. You wish for life to feel like a warm hug or uplifting event but instead you are exhausted from grief and perhaps, confusion. This leads to loneliness. You long to find peace.

Vallejo is a Solano County city with a complex post-industrial history shaped by the closure of Mare Island Naval Shipyard in 1996, which devastated the local economy and led to the city filing for bankruptcy in 2008, and the psychological legacy of this economic collapse, combined with high crime rates and significant racial diversity across Black, Latino, and Filipino communities, creates a mental health landscape marked by historical community trauma and resilience. The city has become significantly more affordable than the broader Bay Area, attracting a new wave of residents, and this demographic transition creates its own mental health dynamics around displacement, belonging, and community change. Solano County Behavioral Health provides public mental health services, and a private therapy sector is developing as the city's population changes. Common therapy concerns include economic trauma and community grief, racial identity, displacement anxiety, and the complex emotions of living in a city that has faced profound challenges but is working to rebuild.
