Life is Difficult! Many obstacles and challenges! I've been practicing 25+ years assisting adults (of all ages) and teens (15+) with major life changes, mild/moderate depression, anxiety, relationship/attachment issues, sobriety and its relation to mental health. I also work with high functioning career/work choices - helping students/adult-professionals find Purpose-Vision, and Ambition in their career (Life/Career-Coaching).

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I see the world through the lens of relationships. I treat adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationships, perinatal mental health, childhood trauma, and religious wounds. I believe the work of therapy is in undoing aloneness. I became a therapist because I believe it’s in relationships we are injured and paradoxically, it must be through relationships that we heal.

Healing from complex trauma requires looking at your whole self, not just your symptoms. Complex trauma leaves a lasting blueprint on your mind, body, and nervous system, which is why traditional talk therapy alone often feels like it isn't enough. An integrative health approach addresses this by combining gentle psychological healing with body-based therapies, nutrition, and lifestyle support to help you feel safe in your own skin again.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Laguna Beach
Finding therapists in Laguna Beach starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or work stress. As you compare therapists, look for specialties and training that match what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, acceptance and commitment therapy, or couples counseling.
Laguna Beach is a smaller coastal city, so local in-person options may be more limited than in larger parts of Orange County. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you see a therapist licensed in California. You may also want to consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, approach, and experience with concerns like relationship support or marriage counseling in Orange County.
Therapy in Laguna Beach can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists, check your insurance coverage and estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual appointments. You can browse therapists in Laguna Beach, review profiles, and book directly when you’re 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.
