Licensed Psychologist in CA and IN

“It’s okay to start where you are. You are not behind.”

Life can sometimes be overwhelming, as can beginning therapy. Feeling unsure of the best path forward can lead us to feel paralyzed and delay getting the help we need. 

With a collaborative, authentic style, I use evidence-based treatment strategies to develop an action plan that will create lasting change. I would love to help you break down the overwhelm into manageable pieces that we can tackle together to get you feeling more like yourself. 

Experience:

Dr. Bridgette is a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) expert with more than 15 years of experience providing therapy.

Dr. Bridgette is also involved in the local community, giving back to schools and providing quality trainings for therapists local to San Clemente.

More than just my work:

As a parent of two, you’ll often find me hanging out with my kiddos in my free time. Whether I’m playing snack maiden or watching them run on the beach, being a parent has completely reshaped my life and the way I practice therapy, in the best possible way. When I’m not trying to keep up with my kiddos, I love to explore new foods (I’m a big foodie!) and finding quiet moments to read a good book with my dog, Buddy.
