"Let's Make A Plan For Change"
Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when we need some help from a licensed professional to help cope with many of life’s challenges. I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and Board Certified Behavior Analyst in the Orange County, CA area. I’d love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery.
Since the beginning of my practice, I have provided patients with a wide range of psychological services. Life can be overwhelming and sometimes even exhausting, but I’m here to guide you through any obstacles you may face. My goal is to help you understand yourself more deeply and better cope with change.

A Bit About Therapy
I implement effective psychotherapy methods to instill self-understanding among patients and encourage them to adopt new attitudes and feelings towards life situations. It is essential to keep in mind that therapy is not a magic pill or a quick fix: therapy is a healing process that necessitates participation and investment from the patient and caretaker alike. But in the end, making small changes to self-defeating behavior and coping with feelings of sadness, fear, and pain can bring life-altering results.
Services I Offer
I specialize in working with people struggling from mood disorders such as anxiety and depression, addiction and recovery, LGBTQ issues, and neurodevelopment disorders specifically autism spectrum disorder.
Individual Telehealth Counseling
I offer telethealth counseling to individuals in the privacy and comfort of your own home. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who practices LGBTQ Affirmative Therapy. I have worked with the LGBTQ community for many years specific to issues on coming out, stigmatism, marriage and family, supporting our youth, and recognizing the internal attitudes and myths creating barriers in relationships. I am also a Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor with a thorough understanding of the 12-step recovery model and support those struggling with an addiction or their journey with current recovery. It is important a treatment package unique to you is created for ongoing support and success in maintaining your sobriety overtime.
Telehealth Consult and Supervision
My credential as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, is a scientific method for assessing individuals with problem behaviors, studying the changes their environment has on these behaviors, and implementing a plan by applying specific techniques to facilitate change. I offer consultation to families becoming aware of development delays with their children and the step by step process for obtaining support and services. I also offer supervision upon request to the emerging practitioner, especially those interested in becoming multi-disciplined.
