Mental Health Counseling

I have worked as a licensed psychotherapist since 1980. I strongly believe in the strength of the human spirit to overcome many challenges life presents. I feel my open non-judgmental perspective and sense of humor help make therapy a comfortable experience. I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults from many ethnic backgrounds and spiritual beliefs.

I have a sliding fee scale and am on a variety of Insurance Panels. Sessions range from 45-50 min.

I check my telephone messages on a regular basis throughout the day, evening, and weekends and have a longtime colleague to cover for me when I am out of town.

Call me and text me at (949) 552-8737 so we can set up a phone consultation.
