As a Marriage Family Therapist I know how important it is to find a therapist you can trust. Finding a therapist or counselor isn't always easy. I use practical feedback and focus on the strengths of my clients to help them reach their goals. I believe that with honesty, compassion and understanding, we can all find healing and have a more fulfilling life. Going through a major life change can feel overwhelming, even if it is a positive change like a new career. You might notice your energy level decreases, you might have difficulty focusing, or you could have a lack of interest in things that used to be exciting to you. It doesn't have to be hopeless. Counseling can give you an opportunity to grow and learn new ways of coping with transition or loss. I have always had a passion for helping people and feel I am good at what I do. I can help you to find more joy and happiness in your life. I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist with a private practice in Newport Beach, CA.
