Life can feel overwhelming when you are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, or a major life transition. You may appear to have everything together while privately feeling emotionally exhausted, worried, stuck, or unsure about what comes next. I provide a supportive space where you can talk openly, better understand what you are experiencing, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of professional experience. My educational background includes the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and my experience includes behavioral health, medical social work, trauma-informed care, grief and loss, chronic health concerns, caregiver support, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I help clients identify patterns, strengthen coping skills, improve emotional regulation, build healthier boundaries, increase confidence, and make meaningful changes in daily life. I individualize treatment because therapy is not one-size-fits-all.

I provide online therapy to adults throughout California and Nevada, including professionals, caregivers, and individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship or family stress, work-related stress, health-related concerns, or significant life changes. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian faith-integrated therapy, incorporating faith, prayer, spiritual values, and biblical principles in a way that is comfortable and meaningful to you.

You do not have to be in crisis to begin therapy. Sometimes you simply know that something needs to change. Together, we can work toward healthier coping, stronger relationships, greater emotional well-being, and a renewed sense of direction and hope.

No matter where you are on your journey, HOPE Abounds.

I'm a Southern California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist here to tell you that therapy doesn't have to be an utter drag. Think of me as your personal guide through the chaos that is life. I’m your therapist, but also your transformative guide to help uncover your authentic self. Whether your brain is running on 50 open tabs (hello, to my fellow ADHD/neurodivergence folks!) or you're navigating the beautiful complexity of your LGBTQIA+ identity, I fully embrace a "come exactly as you are" approach. No masks, no scripts, just raw authenticity.

I help teens and adults untangle the messy webs of anxiety, depression, and those oh too stressful family or relational dynamics. Therapy shouldn’t just be check boxes, that is why we will mix and match tools until we find the perfect recipe for your growth. Life is a wild ride, but you don't have to navigate the shadows alone. Let's empower your journey and find some light in the cosmic weirdness of it all.

It takes real courage to take this first step toward prioritizing your mental health, and I want to honor that. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, unfamiliar, or even intimidating, and I understand that. Maybe you’ve spent a long time in survival mode, developing ways of coping that helped you get through hard experiences but may no longer serve you. That can show up as disconnecting from yourself or others, struggling with boundaries, or carrying a story about yourself shaped by cultural or relational expectations. Wherever you are, we can start exactly where you are.

Therapist

Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. I aim to create a supportive and engaging space where you feel safe to be emotionally open, while also bringing a sense of ease.

At the core of my style is curiosity. I’m drawn to the “why” - why we feel, think, and respond to life the way we do. I take a holistic and at times existential approach, exploring not just immediate challenges, but the deeper patterns, life transitions, and questions of meaning that shape your experience.

I draw from a wide range of personal and professional experiences, including working directly with and overseeing a large and diverse group of clients. This allows me to adapt different techniques and perspectives to support growth, insight, and lasting change. Throughout the process, I remain thoughtful, engaged, and focused on what will be most helpful for you.

My clients often tell me that what they needed most wasn't advice — it was someone who truly listened, who could help them make sense of what they were feeling and find a path forward. That's what I'm here to do!

Sometimes going through something worrisome, upsetting, or even inspiring, could make us want change. And change can be difficult. Maybe you and/or your kid are feeling overwhelmed and stuck, and aren’t sure how to manage it. I provide therapy for adolescents and adults, as well as parent consultation/support through a relational and integrative approach. Therapy could be an opportunity to gain insight into challenges to navigate difficult life situations. I can provide support in handling issues related to anxiety, self-esteem, transitions (grief & loss/parent separations), ADHD, or other emotional challenges.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Huntington Beach

Searching for therapists in Huntington Beach starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. A bio that mentions cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, couples counseling, or family therapy can help you understand how that therapist may work with you.

In a mid-sized coastal city like Huntington Beach, your best fit may be nearby, in another part of Orange County, or available virtually. Some people prefer in-person sessions close to home, work, or school, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling flexibility. As you narrow your search, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can also show how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and experience with concerns like couples counseling, marriage counseling, or family therapy.

Therapy in Huntington Beach can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, review detailed bios, and book directly when you are ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
