I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California since 2008. My work is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and respect for each client’s unique life story.

Welcome. I'm a licensed psychotherapist dedicated to supporting people who are going through a tough life transition, whether it’s a diagnosis, relationship loss, other loss, or it’s you who have changed. You may be stressed, burnt out, depressed, anxious, and/or traumatized by what you are going through and carrying. You don’t have to do this alone. You can find your spark again. I have specialized training in somatic psychotherapy and evidence-based mindfulness therapies. As a person living with T1D, I love working with others in the diabetes community, and I understand the mental load and energy it takes, every single day.
Being an LMFT is my second career, and the one in which I finally feel like my best self. Having been in the business world for 20 years before this has given me lots of great life experience.

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 an Addiction Therapist in Laguna Niguel
Searching for therapists in Laguna Niguel starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and approach match your needs. Their profile may mention methods like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy, which can help you understand how they structure care.
In a smaller Orange County city like Laguna Niguel, local in-person options may be more limited than in nearby areas, so virtual therapy can expand your search while keeping care connected to California-licensed therapists. You may want a therapist with an office near Laguna Niguel, Crown Valley, or other parts of south Orange County, or you may prefer virtual appointments that fit your schedule. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether a free phone consultation is offered, and how each therapist describes their communication style. Reading bios before booking can help you decide who feels like a practical fit for your goals, schedule, and preferences.
Therapy in Laguna Niguel 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 out-of-pocket estimate before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, many of whom are accepting new patients, and offer clear profile details, so you can compare options, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
