About Me
With over 35 years of experience, I bring a deeply grounded, real-world approach to therapy, especially for those navigating addiction recovery, trauma, and family conflict.
Whether you’re working to repair a strained relationship, find your footing after a crisis, or redefine what healing looks like in your life, I offer a space for honest reflection and lasting change. I support individuals, couples, and families in Newport Beach through a systemic, compassionate approach rooted in recovery, resilience, relational connection, and Christian counseling for those who wish to integrate faith, values, and spirituality into the healing process.
What is it like to work with me?
Clients often describe me as grounded, direct, and deeply compassionate. I offer a steady, nonjudgmental presence and create a safe space where individuals, couples, and families can explore their concerns without fear of shame or pressure. My role is to meet you where you are, honoring your lived experience, values, and goals.
I use an eclectic, evidence-based therapeutic approach that integrates attachment theory, trauma-informed care, systems theory, and relational interventions. I work through a systemic lens to help clients understand the patterns, emotional wounds, and relational dynamics shaping their lives and relationships.
For clients who desire it, I can thoughtfully integrate faith and spiritual beliefs, including Christian principles, into the therapeutic process. For others, therapy remains fully clinical and secular. Spirituality is never imposed and is incorporated only when it aligns with the client’s needs, comfort level, and personal values.
Our work together blends honesty with care, insight with compassion, and structure with flexibility. Whether you are navigating relationship conflict, family challenges, trauma, anxiety, or major life transitions, therapy offers space to heal, grow, and define a “new normal” that feels grounded, authentic, and sustainable for you or your family.
