I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Santa Barbara, California. My practice blends both psychological approach as well as eastern wisdom. With a diverse background of professional and life experiences, I bring empathy, warmth, and a solution-focused mindset to my clients. My goal is to help clients alleviate suffering, boost their productivitiy, and enhance well-being.
Weather you have been considering therapy, worked with therapy in the past or loved ones are suggesting reaching out-welcome to my practice. I work with individuals, couples and families in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career issues, job dissatisfaction. My specialty areas included the assessment and treatment of Perinatal and Postpartum Depression/Anxiety and Grief and Loss.
I was always drawn to people who went unseen or unheard. Others told me I had a calm voice and that they could tell me anything. That led to a lifelong study of how people free themselves from their own patterns, later deepened by psychoanalysis and professional work in eating disorders, addiction treatment, and managed care settings like Kaiser.
I work in a collaborative process with older teens (15yrs old and above), couples, and individual adults who are motivated to find their inner voice and know their highest selves. My clients are focused on setting boundaries, assertive and effective communication skills, healthy relationships, self-advocacy, and self-efficacy. My clients are willing to reflect on sessions outside of the therapeutic hour, and are receptive to occasional homework. I am here to meet you halfway.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Mission Viejo
Searching for therapists in Mission Viejo starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or stress. If you are searching for teenage therapy near me, counselors for teens near me, or marriage counseling Mission Viejo, look for profiles that list experience with adolescents, couples, families, or the specific concern you want to address. Therapist bios can also show whether someone uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Mission Viejo has local therapy options, and nearby communities like Laguna Niguel, Aliso Viejo, and Lake Forest may add more choices. In a smaller city, virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. As you compare therapists, look at appointment times, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading each profile can help you understand how the therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
Therapy in Mission Viejo can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking. Headway lets you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, compare bios, filter by preferences, and book directly when you are 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.
