My approach to therapy is to make it comfortable, safe, positive and to get results as quickly as possible

I have been providing counseling and therapy services to individuals, couples and families in Orange County since 1998 when I began my 3000 hour internship. I became a licensed marriage and family therapist in 2001 at the age of thirty-eight. I see myself as an active facilitator in a joint process, not an expert-patient relationship. I believe that everyone intrinsically knows what they need, it's my job to assist you on that journey.

Holistic Psychotherapy

A hybrid of traditional talk therapy and energy psychology. An educational and dynamic process that recognizes the importance of the integration of mind, body & spirit.My holistic approach to therapy is highly effective and more than just talk therapy…

My treatment orientation is Integrative. This means I customize my approach based on your needs and goals.  Theories I most commonly use are: Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Family Systems, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Humanistic and Energy Psychology.

Energy Psychology (EP) is a relatively new and very exciting approach to therapy, about 30 years in the making.   EP is basically a collection of mind-body techniques that I teach to you that have been clinically proven to facilitate deep and permanent healing of traumatic wounding.  I discovered EP in 2003 and spent the next 3 years reading and attending every class I could find on the subject.  I witnessed clients making huge shifts in only a few sessions and sometimes right before my eyes.  What would have once taken months of talk therapy was getting done in a handful of sessions.

During my EP training in 2006 I was certified to use Hypnosis to prepare people for surgery, cancer treatment and for the use of Time Line Therapy.  In April 2016 I became a certified Hypnotherapist which has broadened my ability to use hypnosis with any client interested and on any issue.

I welcome the opportunity to help you, and yours.
