Therapists in 92653
You feel like you’re always lugging around a suitcase filled with sadness and worry. It’s utterly exhausting, and it keeps you from enjoying anything else. Anxiety and depression completely change how you see yourself and the world. You’re tired, on edge, and irritable, which then affects how the world sees YOU. It’s a vicious cycle that robs you of your confidence and motivation, which makes it even HARDER to escape their clutch. It’s no wonder you feel like tears are ready to well up at any moment – like you’re about to break inside. You know you need help, but getting there feels like climbing Mount Everest right now.

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, BACC, ICGC-II, CCGC-II
Laguna Hills, CA 92653
With over 25 years of experience, I help individuals and couples heal from betrayal, gambling addiction, a loved one’s addiction, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I help interrupt destructive patterns, stabilize behaviors, and address the underlying drivers, including emotional, relational, and belief-based patterns. Using attachment-focused EMDR, we process past and recent experiences and support you in rebuilding your life with greater stability, connection, and meaning. I also provide consultation, supervision, and training in gambling and trauma-related care.

During the process of therapy, working through the struggles of life can bring you to a deeper and more meaningful place, not only finding, but also liking who you are. Therapy will help you learn coping skills, setting boundaries, changing perceptions that keep you stuck, finding the connection you want in relationships, building self-esteem, finding release from loss and grief, openness to change, and a willingness to accept your worth and find your authentic voice.

We all struggle from time to time with stress, but anxiety and depression can feel debilitating and limiting. When your stress starts to feel this way (intrusive thoughts, obsessive thoughts, your heart races thinking about the thing), these are signals that your body (your nervous system) is going into fight or flight. Let’s help your nervous system calm and explore what is stressing you out.

In my work, I attune to both what a client expresses verbally and what is conveyed through the body, paying close attention to unspoken words and subtle signals. Through empathic resonance, I become aware of the client’s present experiences and past struggles, deeply connecting with their emotional states. By witnessing and holding their pain, I support clients in transforming earlier traumatic experiences, allowing them to experience greater freedom, vitality, joy, connection, and the capacity to love and be loved fully.
