Therapy is a great way to practice Self-Care, doing something beneficial for you and your overall health. In therapy you have the opportunity to address challenges and struggles while learning effective coping skills in a non-judging environment that promotes growth.

Are you wanting to work through those emotions affecting the relationships with yourself and others you? I am passionate about helping my clients create a more fulfilling life. I have down-to-earth approach in a caring, non-judgmental and safe environment.

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.

We all have moments when we feel lost, stuck, or just plain overwhelmed. I believe that a warm, trustworthy, and non-judgmental ear, along with the tools and techniques that I can provide, will help move you towards feeling more in control of your life.

I consider it a privilege to listen to people's stories and walk alongside with them, for a while, on their journey through life, helping them reach their full potential.

I believe good therapy helps us to find insight and clarity, create new priorities and gain the courage to change. I work with my clients to build a capacity for a deep and intuitive understanding of oneself and others.

What's missing in your relationships? Do you experience doubt or put too much pressure on yourself? Who is there to support you? I enhance relationships, address depression, anxiety, anger, etc. I believe we all get stuck sometimes. I love what I do and can help.

We understand the amount of pain and frustration that can build before deciding to take the first step to enter into therapy. We would love to help you take that first step and begin working with you toward creating a more healthy and satisfying life.

I believe everyone can be helped when motivated and understanding the methods to change. People fall into habits, but with the newest research in neurobiology, we understand how the brain and emotions can be changed effecting personal growth and relationships.

I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist located in Santa Ana, CA. I see all types of individuals, couples, children and families on a variety of issues. Working with relationships and creating meaningful connection to enhance lives is key in my work.

I work with a community of therapists committed to the understanding and transformation of emotional life. It is our goal to help people engage in this process through dialogue that is direct and authentic. If not me, I can direct you to one of my colleagues.

People come to me seeking someone who's done their own work and can help guide them through theirs—someone who is highly trained, compassionate, and honest. In our work together, you can expect to feel safe, understood, and free to show up as your true self.

With each person I treat, I stress the use of Christian principles to solve psychological problems. As I generally practice therapy with Christian clients, I utilize scripture and prayer along with other more standardized psychological interventions...

I love working with people and helping them grow, overcome obstacles, and discover themselves. I am here to help you with whatever you are struggling with - to help you feel better and be more settled and in control of your life and your future.
