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). I employ talk therapy to alleviate symptoms, elevate mood, increase self-awareness and existing strengths. I also help people in recovery to alleviate 'Character Defects' that continue on in sobriety.
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 am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adolescents and adults. I provide trauma-informed therapy for anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, respectful, and culturally responsive. I am committed to creating a safe space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow.
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.
You have bravely ventured the move toward a more satisfying life. I too faced my own season of growth and refinement. A loss experience and compassion for others sparked my desire to pursue a master’s in clinical counseling from California State University, Fullerton.
Individuals enter therapy for a variety of reasons including loss, unresolved childhood experiences, difficult life transitions, changes in emotional states, troubling beliefs, or patterns of thought.
Hi & Welcome. We all face challenges at times throughout our lives. We may need support finding self-awareness and compassion which I believe is the key in the healing process. I enjoy acting as an empowering guide along your journey. I believe in our innate capacity to change and create a meaningful and UPLIFTING life. My goal for you is to foster a safe, accepting and also challenging space that encourages personal growth and empowers you to make positive changes that support your values.
I have an M.A. in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica as well as an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children and am LGBTQ+ affirmative. One of my specialties is using EMDR for the treatment of trauma, anxiety and depression.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Santa Ana
Searching for therapists in Santa Ana starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties that match your needs and note the type of care they offer, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions and what you can expect from their approach.
Santa Ana offers access to therapy across Orange County, including nearby options for therapy in Orange County, Santa Ana counseling, and virtual appointments with California-licensed therapists. If getting to an office near Downtown, Civic Center, or another local neighborhood fits your schedule, in-person care may be a good match. If your calendar varies, virtual therapy can give you more appointment options while staying within your provider’s California license. Before booking, review availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and free phone consultation options so you can compare fit before starting care.
Therapy in Santa Ana can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can use Headway to verify your benefits and view estimated out-of-pocket costs for Santa Ana before booking. You can browse therapist profiles, compare specialties and availability, 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.
