Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Irvine, CA

I have been a mental health professional since 2006 and I strive to help people realize that “the grass is always greenest where you water it’-Unknown. My areas of special focus include grief, parent/adult child conflict, depression; anxiety, bi-polar, marital, self-esteem, academic, occupational, empty nest, personal coaching, and stress management. I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Southern New Hampshire University, a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from California Baptist University and a Doctorate of Education in Psychology from Argosy University.

My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported. I believe mental wellness is an essential part of overall health, and that healing begins by moving from survival to thriving through nervous system regulation, processing past experiences, and strengthening the mind-body connection. Meaningful change and healing happens within a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and collaboration. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, performance anxiety, work-related stress... or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, we'll work together to build insight, process difficult experiences when appropriate, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Do you ever feel a heaviness in the background of your life, even if you’re not exactly sure where it’s coming from? Maybe certain patterns or challenges keep repeating, no matter how much effort you put into moving forward, and you’re beginning to wonder what’s underneath it all. In our work together, we’ll explore those experiences with curiosity and care. I’ll be there to support you in deepening your self-awareness, uncovering what’s holding you back, and making meaningful changes that align with who you are and what you want.

Great to meet you!
