Therapy That Meets You Where You Are
I believe that good therapy should be accessible. That is why I offer both in-person sessions at my office in South Orange County and online therapy throughout California. Whether you prefer the grounding presence of an in-person session or the convenience and privacy of meeting from home, the same trauma-informed care is available to you.
My approach is rooted in understanding that each person, each family, each community carries its own context. The pressures of life in Irvine look different from life in San Clemente. The challenges facing a Newport Beach executive differ from those facing a military family near Camp Pendleton. I take time to understand your specific situation, not just your symptoms.
South Orange County
My office is located in Mission Viejo, in the heart of South Orange County. From here, I serve clients from communities throughout the region. Many clients appreciate that the office location offers privacy, away from their usual social and professional environments.

Online Therapy Throughout California
Online therapy makes care possible regardless of geography. If you live outside Orange County, if your schedule makes regular commutes impossible, or if you simply prefer the comfort and privacy of meeting from your own space, online sessions are available.
I am licensed to practice in California, which means I can work with you wherever you are in the state. Online sessions follow the same trauma-informed approach as in-person work. The technology is simple and secure. What matters most is the relationship we build and the work we do together.
Many of my clients begin with online therapy and stay with it. Others use it during busy seasons or travel, then return to in-person sessions when schedules allow. The flexibility is there for you to use however serves you best.
Choosing the Right Setting
Some people find that being in the same room with a therapist helps them feel more grounded and present. Others prefer the comfort of their own space, or need the flexibility that online sessions provide. Neither option is better or worse. What matters is finding what helps your nervous system feel safe enough to do the work.
During a consultation, we can talk through what might feel most supportive given your goals, your preferences, and your life circumstances.
