I am committed to helping people regain a sense of purpose and greater understanding about what they are struggling with. I work to empower them to have some control in a chaotic world around or within them. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families throughout the greater San Diego area over the past nine years. I can offer a safe and non-judgemental space to discuss your issues where you can feel seen and heard.

Hello there, I'm Nubia. Does it feel like life is becoming unmanageable and an overwhelm has taken over your ability to engage in your daily routines, maintain a work-life balance or even enjoy things you used to like doing? Is the overwhelm also affecting your relationships with loved ones and friends, often stopping you from joining others and you find you're spending more time alone? Most of us at some point in time will feel some of these uncomfortable emotions that can take us out of our center and lead us astray, sometimes even to dark places. I can help to bring back some stability through understanding, self- exploration and empowerment. I've been a practicing psychotherapist for 17 years and have extensive experience working with youth/children and adults. Whether you are dealing with mood instability, anxiety, relationship discord or a sudden disruption in life, my approach to working with you is always person-centered, strength based and emotion focused in order to restore and bring balance back to your life. I invite you to stop by and let's talk about it...

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing mental/behavioral health issues impacting children and adults such as: career/school stressors, depression, anxiety, relational issues, parenting, family systems, medical challenges, healthy lifestyles, etc. I worked for 14 years as a therapist and program manager at the central outpatient psychiatry clinic at Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego which is ranked as one of the top 10 children's hospitals in the United States by U.S. News and World report. I have helped provide behavioral health services for over 10,000 children, adults and families throughout San Diego County. In addition, I helped support U.S. service members and their families while working as a military family life counselor at Naval Medical Center-San Diego in Pediatrics. I also volunteered at San Diego Unified School District and coached little league. I love being a father to my two awesome sons and I enjoy athletics and cooking in my free time. I am practical and eclectic therapist combining elements from theoretical orientations such as cognitive behavioral therapy and solution focused therapy to help clients of all ages. The vast majority of my clients report that they had a good experience working with me and describe me as experienced, professional, friendly, kind, helpful and effective.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help clients to overcome the obstacles that get in the way of living a meaningful and purposeful life.

I have a Masters in Social Work from the University of Oklahoma and a Bachelor's in Psychology from Chapman University. My primary focus includes depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, caregiver stress, relationship issues, and stress management.
