I am licensed by the state of California as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). I am EMDR trained and a clinical member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT). I have been interviewed by the Los Angeles Times and KCET on issues such as relationships, depression, and adolescents.
I have been a guest lecturer for the Mariposa Women's Center, Junior League of Orange County, local high schools and various other organizations. I am co-founder of the non-profit Strength in Support, which provides behavioral health services to veterans and their families. I have a private practice office located on the Laguna Hills/Irvine border in Orange County.

Depression is unpleasant, as many of us know. Sadness, discouragement, pessimism, and hopelessness are familiar feelings for most of us at some time in our lives. However, therapists like myself in Orange County understand depression has some specific symptoms.
Some of these symptoms include: feeling sad or empty, diminished interest in activities, weight loss or gain, sleep disturbances, feelings of worthlessness, loss of energy, diminished ability to concentrate and thoughts of death.Many people suffer from depression and yet it can look very different for each of us, meaning our symptoms will vary.

Feelings of self-worth are more valuable than anything I can imagine. Our self-esteem affects our mental health, our feelings, our relationships, our choices, our actions, our jobs, our family - it affects everything! When people have high levels of self-esteem they are able to fend for themselves, speak up assuredly, feel good about themselves and develop healthy relationships.
Whether you are initiating a divorce from your spouse, resisting a divorce or mutually divorcing, it is a period of huge adjustment and transition. Divorce is very difficult no matter if you are wanting a divorce, or not. It is incredibly painful for most. Sometimes the pain is so great that people become numb (a defense mechanism for great pain).
I enjoy working with couples (whether married, engaged, dating or living together) as a therapist in Orange County. I provide marriage counseling, pre-marital counseling, and couples counseling. I really love working with couples to strengthen their relationships and/or addressing specific issues or problems.
Many people think of "loss" as only pertaining to the death of a loved one. Loss can be experienced in the loss of a loved one who dies, but it can also be the loss of a relationship, such as through divorce. We lose people, relationships, places, dreams, jobs. When we lose there is a disruption in our lives.
