Teletherapy for Aliso Viejo, CA

I enjoy working with a wide variety of clientele and believe that therapy is a joint experience that we will pursue together.

My goal as a therapist is to assist you on your journey of self-awareness and personal discovery. I like to take a here-and-now approach during therapy and I also believe that understanding your present and being able to be fully aware of your thoughts and actions in the moment will help unlock and uncover unresolved issues from your past. I strongly believe in the concept of subjective reality. I enjoy working with a wide variety of clientele and have a special interest in working with adolescent and young adult females, and individuals and couples in areas of sexual intimacy.

I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist. I truly understand how difficult it can be to ask for help.

I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, self-worth/self-esteem issues, life transitions/adjustments (e.g., role change, relocation), grief/loss (e.g., divorce, death of loved one) and care giver burn out.
