It's my pleasure to provide counseling and psychotherapy services to the Long Beach and Orange County areas.  I love working with individual clients and with both straight and gay couples.


My treatment specializations include:

• Couples Counseling
• Anxiety, Stress, and Trauma
• Gay & Lesbian Counseling
• Midlife Crisis/ Transition
• Depression, Grief & Loss
• Personal Growth

My therapeutic approach combines the best of short-term, solution-focused therapy and deeper-level psychodynamic therapy. You might be surprised at how much progress you can make in a brief number of sessions.  We'll talk together about your goals and how much time you'll need to reach them.

The two most important factors for a successful outcome in therapy are first, that there's a good fit between the therapist and the client, and second, the shared commitment of both the therapist and client to treatment, and their belief in the outcome.  In a comfortable and supportive atmosphere, I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to your individual needs.
