Adults Therapists in Foothill Ranch, CA
I have a diverse range of experiences with children and adults encountering depression, anxiety, adjustment issues, low self-esteem, bereavement, substance abuse, poor emotion regulation skills, and having difficulty coping.
I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship for healing the wounds of the past and the present. In order to understand the complexities of problems nested in cultural beliefs and values in the individuals’ life, I use a culturally sensitive approach to support individuals in navigating their experiences. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to express and process their emotions. Therapy is a unique experience and I believe that finding the right fit is extremely important. My clinical approach would depend on the person and presenting issue that is brought into the therapy session.

Are you feeling tired, depressed, anxious? Have you ever felt as though you were too depressed to even get out of bed? It’s easy for our negative thoughts to consume us. This is because our brains have a hardwired negativity bias that helped our ancestors survive. For this reason, we are left with brains that often focus on the negative, while minimizing the positive aspects of our lives. It can seem like our brains cut out the positive components of our being, like a deleted scene from a movie.

Over the years, I have found that people have an innate sense of resiliency that they can tap into, but need guidance to find it. During the therapeutic process, I strive to nurture this sense as my clients grow, heal, cultivate creativity and thrive in life’s many journeys. We all need to feel connected and heard, and we each deserve a therapist that is truly interested in us and has our best interests at heart. I truly believe this is an essential component of therapy. It takes courage to ask for help and I applaud you for taking the first step.

I kept my office open during the COVID Crisis but when it ended people did not want to come to an office. I simi-retired & work through Zoom. I have lowered my fee to reflect the benefit of working online. While it is not my preferred way of working with clients, it allows me to continue to work. I left Saddleback Church where I was the Pastor of Pastoral Care for 17+years. I've been a licensed marriage & family counselor for 35+ years. I respect the fact that everyone needs to make a personal decision about their faith but I do approach therapy using Christian perspectives & values.

I currently work full-time as a therapist with adolescents, adults, and couples.
All meaningful lives involve pain, there is no escaping this. Even if we cannot avoid pain, we can learn to rise above it and still create a life worth living. Life will never be unbearable due to circumstances, but only from a lack of purpose and meaning. My job is to help you look at your situation differently, and to develop a committed action plan to make the positive changes you have been wanting to. Like the Serenity Prayer says, we need to accept the things we cannot change, and have courage to change what we can, starting with ourselves.

I specialize in working with intuitive adults who are struggling with codependent relationships and trauma to no longer doubt themselves, people-please, or feel emotionally out of control and help them nurture themselves, trust themselves to make the right decisions, and find balance in their emotions and relationships.
Does it feel like you’ve lost yourself in taking care of everyone else’s needs while your needs have taken a back seat? When you have codependent tendencies, you give people your time and energy, but feel depleted and burnt out. You put on your happy face and expend a lot of energy trying to make the people around you feel comfortable. But they don’t know how uncomfortable you feel on the inside. They don’t know that tension makes you anxious, or that you only really see your value as a person unless someone else does. You can change your codependent patterns and begin trusting yourself, taking care of yourself, and loving yourself.
