INDIVIDUAL THERAPY - PSYCHOANALYSIS
I invite you to say what you would never say in ordinary conversation.

All roads lead to Rome! It doesn't matter where we jump in, if you’re ready, we’ll get there. My POV is through a Neurodiverse lens and incorporates Attachment Theory and C-PTSD with the idea that much of our conflict and distress stems from old wounds & unmet needs that can often be traced back to necessary adaptations needed to survive not only our families of origin but also societal norms and expectations. The gig of being human is hard and de-coding this blueprint can provide a path toward understanding, healing and, fulfillment. I utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities including Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy.

I work with adolescents and adults and offer individual, couples, and family therapy.

Hello, I have been in private practice for over 25 years with vast experiences working with all clients of all ages. I like helping with relationships, as I have been married 30years. I am open minded and easy to talk to and love emotionally intimate conversations.
I am licensed clinical psychologist in California. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology and MA in Counseling Psychology.
I am trained in the depth psychological tradition (psychoanalytic psychotherapy, psychodynamic and Jungian/analytic psychology). I listen to how deep-rooted beliefs, current dilemmas in daily life, socio-cultural factors, and emotional responses are communicating through the expression of psychological symptoms.
Welcome, I'm glad you're here. I’m a warm and compassionate therapist with several years of experience working in mental health. I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and work with people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply wanting to understand themselves more deeply. I take a collaborative approach, tailoring our sessions to your unique needs and goals. My priority is creating a space where you feel supported, seen, and safe to explore whatever comes up.
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 19 years of experience helping adults, teens, couples, and families facing a variety of issues including relationship problems, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, trauma, grief, work stressors. My goal is to provide a supportive and safe space for you to explore your challenges and seek meaningful change. Together, we can navigate life's complexities, improve your well-being, and help you build stronger relationships.
Trauma-Informed. I specialize in treating adults with unresolved childhood traumas / C-PTSD. I deeply understand how early life experiences shape present-day struggles—I specialize in helping people heal from those roots, not just manage surface-level symptoms.
I am trained in powerful, evidence-based and experiential modalities like EMDR, IFS-informed parts work, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Safe and Sound Protocol, and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. Not one-size-fits-all—I tailor treatment to each individual’s nervous system, attachment patterns, and inner world.
Most importantly, I show up as a therapist: I provide a warm, safe, and non-judgmental space where clients can be fully seen, heard, and validated. I understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, and I meet clients with compassion, patience, and respect for their pace.
I am committed to helping clients work through inner emotional conflicts so they can move toward a more stable, fulfilling, and connected life—not just symptom relief, but real, lasting transformation.
I am a board‐certified clinical therapist with a strong foundation in narrative therapy, helping clients explore and reshape the stories that influence their lives. In recent years, I’ve supported children ages 5–17 as well as adults navigating a wide range of emotional experiences, including anxiety, depression, grief, and gender affirmation.

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 Mental Health Therapist in La Palma
Searching for therapists in La Palma starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy, so you can choose someone whose style feels aligned with your goals.
La Palma is a smaller city, so the number of nearby in-person therapists may be more limited than in larger parts of Orange County or Los Angeles County. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading bios before booking can help you understand how a therapist communicates and what to expect in the first session.
Therapy in La Palma can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who match your preferences and offer in-person or virtual sessions, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your plan and area. You can review profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
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.
