After graduating from New York University with a BFA in drama, I moved to Los Angeles and taught drama and English literature at an L.A. public high school for nearly 20 years. My experience working with teenagers and their families taught me that, all too often, kids' barriers to learning are not academic in nature, but rather emotional challenges stemming from adversity and trauma. I became more and more interested in learning how to help teenagers and adults alike navigate these obstacles and come out stronger in the long run. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders (including OCD), PTSD and Complex-PTSD, and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.
Hello and welcome!
As a licensed clinical social worker, I truly believe that mental health is the foundation for growth and healing. It takes courage and strength to take that first step and I want to celebrate you for making it!
I mainly work with adults in individual therapy, drawing from various modalities tailored to each person's unique needs and issues. I'm also certified in EMDR, which can be really helpful for processing difficult experiences.

I've always been fascinated by the resilience of the human spirit. If you are working through what happened without judgment and identity what could help you keep going.
I use an integrative, holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally aware approach. My style is warm, empathetic, and thoughtful, as well as active, pragmatic, and concrete. I foster a safe environment for deep reflection and for developing and implementing the necessary tools to encourage desired change.

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.
