In working through my own struggles of adjusting to change and figuring out where I belong I have come to an understanding of many of the barriers to really being excited about living. I have moved several times in my life, having experienced a number of different cultures. I have been challenged to find the common ground with those who on the surface appear very different from me. This has helped me understand some of the universal issues that people have, including the search for who they are and the causes for why, despite appearing to have everything, they are still unhappy.
I have extensive experience working with teens and adults with mental illness, and with those who have been hurt or abused. Often these past issues creep up into our relationships and marriage where I have then worked with couples on how to navigate through this. I would love to talk to you about my style as a therapist and what you can expect during a typical session. If you would like to find out more, please call me at: (949)306-1512.
I completed my undergraduate studies in England and my graduate studies here in California. I obtained my M.S. degree in Clinical Psychology from Vanguard University and went on to obtain my license as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I also completed a Survey of the Bible certificate course in France prior to moving to California.
I am married and we have a beautiful baby girl. As a family we love to go for long walks and sit by the beach, or just relax at home. We also love to eat and enjoy trying out new recipes or finding a new cuisine to try.
I’m looking forward to meeting you. Please call me at (949)306-1512 or email me at: anita@anitajacobmft.com to schedule an appointment.
