Counseling in Laguna Woods, CA. Find the Right Therapist.

I provide professional, caring psychotherapy/psychoanalysis with a focus on learning the themes and dynamics that were established during one's upbringing that play a role in the ability to function successfully in life in the present.

I feel very lucky. My clients invite me into their lives, often sharing personal and sometimes painful experiences. Despite the concerns the individuals, couples, and families face, I am grateful to offer support, hope, and I am impressed by their courage.

I believe the "fit", or connection, is crucial for successful therapy. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental setting which fosters clarity and insight and creates the conditions for growth and healing. I use a flexible interpersonal and developmental approach.
