Stress and Anxiety Can Drive You Mercilessly.
Call Me for Help Today at: 714.914.5565.

Today many men and women in Orange County are struggling with overwhelming feelings of stress, fear, and anxiety.
It can feel like too much to sort through on your own. Alone. Your stress and anxiety have the power to undermine every area of your well-being: physical, emotional, relational, professional, and financial. Everything. When your feelings are overwhelming you, it can feel like there is no solution.  

You can create a shift in your life. You don't have to do it alone. Counseling is available.

Even Small Shifts in Thinking Have the Power to
Transform Your Pain Into Hope and Freedom.

You hold a beautiful untapped power in your mind and body to create your potential for healing and relief. One small step at a time is enough to make the difference you are looking for. You can shift from your old fear and anxiety based thinking to calm and ease. All you need is someone to show you how.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Located 
in North Orange County on the Tustin/Santa Ana Border
in the Lovely Cabrillo Park Area.

Trained as a depth and somatic psychotherapist, I specialize in holistic body-mind approaches to anxiety reduction and resolving trauma. I am experienced in counseling individuals, young adults, couple counseling, families, therapists, and therapist interns and students.

I passionately believe in the capacity of human beings to re-create their lives. You can change your experience of your life by changing the way you think about yourself. Your relationship to yourself completely defines your relationship to others. When you create a healthier happier self, you are also creating happier and more satisfying relationships with others.

Together, we will use a variety of tools and approaches to understanding your experience of yourself, your life and relationships, including observing patterns, developing  increased insight, mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, enhanced body/mind connections, exploring myth, dream, and metaphor, as well as elements of Cognitive Behavioral approaches.

Counseling Services and Specialties for
Addressing Anxiety, Panic, and Trauma.

I offer psychotherapy services to individuals from throughout Orange County, as well as, couple counseling. Most of my clients are adults working to improve relationships, reduce anxiety, increase self-esteem, resolve trauma, and increase personal growth. As so many of my clients are working to heal debilitating experiences of anxiety and panic, 
I have sought specialized training in the area of holistic anxiety reduction. 

Somatic Experiencing (SE).

I am a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). This dynamic healing modality works directly with the nervous system, going places where talk therapy can not always reach to release undischarged fight, flight and freeze impulses from the body. Our body holds our memories of trauma, loss, and grief. These trapped experiences power our anxiety, our impulsivity, our explosive rage and may deeply and unconsciously influence not only the way we show up in our relationships, but our ability and inability to form healthy enduring attachments. Incomplete impulses within the nervous system often contribute to pain and conditions that are resistant or unresponsive to standard medical treatment. We can work together to give you more access to the innate self healing capacity of your body.

I Blog Regularly About Anxiety, Panic, and Self-healing.

There are lots of approaches and viewpoints about anxiety and anxiety reduction. I favor an approach that is non-pathologizing, body-centered, and focused on the cultivation of healing, self-regulation, and compassion. I do
so in a manner that is informative, educational, and filled with good and sometimes irreverent humor. Stop by and
check it out.

My Latest Blog: I Know It's Going To Be A Good Day When I Show Up At Work With My Shirt Right Side Out.

SO, YESTERDAY I WORE MY SHIRT INSIDE OUT ALL DAY LONG.
Not on purpose. Just on. Inside out. Did I notice it when I saw my first four clients? When I went out to pick up a Chai? When the barista told me how much she really, really, liked my cute blouse? When I saw my next few clients? No. I noticed a design detail I hadn't noticed before while I was sitting at a red light on the way home to have dinner. Huh! Raw unfinished seams, (More)
