Therapist

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse/addiction, and trauma.

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and reassuring. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was as an epidemiologist working with the physically ill, mentoring high school students in relational and life decisions, or being a loyal friend, I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. Now, as a therapist, I get to enjoy seeing people realize their full potential, heal from their pain, and identify and begin working toward a new future of hope for themselves.

I provide psychotherapy to adults, young adults, children, women, and families in which I specialize in anxiety. As a therapist I diagnose and treat depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD and other mental health disorders.

I believe that getting better from a mental health disorder is not only possible, but realistic. I am here to guide you on that journey of healing. So that you can gain peace and continue to pursue your dreams and goals. When working with children I work with parents to provide play therapy, art therapy, and pet therapy

I have worked with adults and children for over 30 years. My work bridges a broad spectrum of life issues with the belief that we each carry a unique inner authority that directs us to develop according to our own truth.

My work has a Jungian orientation. In addition to verbal therapy with adults we may incorporate dream work, art, EMDR, or hypnotherapy.

I work virtually now and no longer treat children.
