I see therapy as a collaborative journey, where I walk alongside you rather than ahead of you. For nearly a decade, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, autism, substance use, chronic pain, and life transitions. My background in clinical psychology, along with board certification in biofeedback and neurofeedback, allows me to integrate both psychological and physiological approaches to healing. Most importantly, I deeply respect the uniqueness of your lived experience and strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered.
I have been in the psychology field for over 20 years. I have an extensive background treating public safety, military, hospital personnel and there families for trauma, work related stressors and family issues. I have treated people who have survived trauma and I am also a trauma survivor. I have worked substance abuse treatment facilities and both inpatient and out patient psychiatric hospitals treating moderate to severe mental heath problems.
I am experienced in conducting diagnostic testing evaluations, fitness for work and pre-employment evaluations. I am a court recognized expert in a few different areas.
Due to my time practicing and vast experience nothing suprises me. I have seen, heard or dealt with most things in the this field. You cannot put a price tag on experience. I have also lived life and have experienced many things myself that clients come into my office wanting help with. I don't know about you but I like getting help from those that have treated the issues in the past or have gone through it themselves versus those that have read about it in books.
I have a Master's in Counseling and have practiced in the field of mental health for nearly two decades. My experience as a therapist includes extensive training and work in eating disorders, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, relationship issues, women’s issues, and spirituality. I am licensed in both California (LPCC) and Washington (LMHC), and I’m a Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS) through the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals (IAEDP). I also hold a certification in Grief (CGP). I emphasize a whole-person approach to care, considering the full spectrum of physical, emotional, social, and spiritual factors that impact your overall health and well-being.
I specialize in working with adults experiencing burnout, chronic stress/anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergence. As a neurodivergent therapist who has navigated my own experiences with burnout, I understand how exhausting it can be to constantly feel "on" for everyone else. I’m especially passionate about supporting helping professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving folks who spend so much energy caring for others that they forget to care for themselves. I also bring my full personality into the therapy room (including humor, authenticity, and the occasional slightly twisted joke) when the moment calls for it.
Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, or past trauma weigh you down. You might be struggling with stress, grief, or relationship challenges, unsure of how to move forward. But you don’t have to navigate this alone. Therapy is a space to help you rediscover your strengths, gain clarity, and develop new ways to cope. Whether you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply looking for support, I’m here to help you find a path toward healing and confidence.
I have supported clients with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, relational issues, personality disorders and trauma. I completed my M.A. in psycholoy in 2018 and since then I have worked in both private practice and school settings. I am also trained in EMDR. I use an eclectic approach to therapy that I tailor to meet the needs of each client.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Laguna Hills
Searching for therapists in Laguna Hills starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist’s experience matches it. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and details about how they structure sessions. A bio can help you see whether a therapist’s background and approach fit what you want from care.
Laguna Hills is a smaller city, so local in-person availability may vary by office location and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options across California while still letting you choose a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, specialties, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Laguna Hills can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated price before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. You can browse profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
