Licensed Orange County Therapist
I have over 20 years experience as a licensed therapist (LMFT MFC#38771) in Orange County, California. 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, KCET and other media on issues such as relationships, depression, and adolescence.
My private practice therapist office is located on the Laguna Hills/Irvine border in Orange County. As a therapist, I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families on their mental health goals in an atmosphere based on mutual respect. In my work as a counselor, I am genuine and directive. I believe in working empathically and collaboratively with my clients to meet their goals. It is my belief that the process of change occurs through questioning, changing cognitive processes and gaining further understanding and insight about ourselves, our families, and other systems we are members of. Some ways we can gain further understanding and insight is by identifying patterns, roles, rituals, and messages.
