I believe in therapeutic conversation; I am not the 'expert' on your life; you are that expert. My expertise lies in facilitating dialogue that looks at the obstacles currently blocking your preferred vision for your current and future self. My ultimate quarry is change: not just the hoped for differences you may want from your partner, your job, your family, but the changes from within that you must incorporate. The old adage really is true: you can only change yourself. Truly effective therapy happens when you are honestly ready to tackle the person in the mirror.

Stepping into therapy and opening up to another person about one’s struggle, patterns, and pain requires a great deal of courage. It is difficult to bring someone into those often unvisited parts of ourselves. I desire to honor those challenges, and to listen closely to clients in such a way that they feel understood. The hope is that overtime, clients come to understand themselves in a deeper way, feel differently toward themselves, and engage more meaningfully in relationships. My interest is working with patient’s that are wanting to understand what is going on underneath the symptoms that inhibit growth and vitality.

Affirming Therapy of Orange County
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, MBA, LMFT
Huntington Beach, CA 92647
I provide individual, couples, and family therapy at my private practice on the Huntington Beach Hospital campus. Much of my work is with clients struggling with anxiety, dysphoria, or depression, or in their relationships with their romantic partners/spouses or their families-of-origin. I find strengths they've forgotten they have that can be used to defeat their problems. I use Narrative and Cognitive-Behavioral therapies and when working with couples I use Emotion Focused Therapy. Research has shown that 70-75% of couples who undergo EFT become closer and more intimate and 90% of them show significant improvements.
