About

A thoughtful, evidence-based approach to your inner life.

Education

I attended Eastern Michigan University and National University, receiving a BA and a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California, which expands my ability to offer effective tools when providing couples counseling, family counseling, and other types of therapy.

Training & Experience

I have provided psychological care at my private practice in Orange County for more than 13 years. Beyond my practice, I also offer counseling and psychoeducational presentations to large groups of service members, military officials, their spouses, and children.

I have served as the lead care manager and clinical psychologist at several outpatient care centers, treating conditions that range from depression to adult ADHD across settings as varied as private practice and emergency triage centers.

With years of experience in one-on-one, small group, and large group therapy — and ongoing certifications and continuing education — I am committed to providing the most thoughtful, effective therapy possible.

The most important relationship I aim to help you with is always the one with yourself. Once you are clear about who you are — rather than who you think you should be — all of your other relationships flow much more smoothly.
