Therapeutic Counseling in Santee occupies an office on Mission Gorge Road, the commercial spine of the 92071 ZIP code and the corridor where most of the city's high-traffic dining and retail search queries originate. The LCSW-led practice integrates EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, and a distinctive Improv Therapy modality into treatment plans that address anxiety, depression, and childhood-trauma recovery, a clinical scope that intersects with the oral-anxiety management work at Santee Dental Team on Cuyamaca Street. Graduate training at San Diego State University's School of Social Work preceded clinical internships at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital and Sharp Mesa Vista Hospital, establishing dual competencies in medical and psychiatric social work. Specialized grief-counseling protocols for sudden-infant-death and sudden-unexpected-infant-death cases reflect a research background that includes an abstract presentation at the 2018 SIDS International Conference in Glasgow and recognition through the Senator Daniel E. Boatwright Award, expertise that informs referral relationships with in-home care providers including Green Tree Home Care on Cuyamaca Street. Active caseloads span military families, veterans, first responders, and foster-connected youth using person-centered and strength-based frameworks.
