Is your life controlled by anxiety, stress, overwhelm, fear, worry, low self-esteem, or lost confidence? I help young adults, adults & relationships break apart problematic habits, beliefs, patterns & systems. Helping you achieve your desired life, purpose, & goals. Our sessions are about possibilities, empowerment, confidence, & trust in yourself. I work using a very positive and targeted conversational approach that can help you gain confidence, perspective, and freedom to move forward. I'm here to help you stop blaming yourself, experience change, increase your coping skills, and live life as you deserve.
I'll never judge you, your past, or your desires. Respect for your life and choices are critical in my working with you. My training & experience are in helping people in various states of personal and professional transition and development. I have a particular expertise in working with students, entrepreneurs, artists, designers, athletes, and executives.
I'm inclusive, collaborative, affirming, an ally to marginalized groups, and supportive of all lifestyle preferences, and spiritual choices.​ Call me for a 15 min. chat to see if I'm right for you. - If you found me via your insurance that is my work at Shanti OC (949-452-0888). This page is for my private practice, which doesn't take insurance.

Would you like to start therapy by having your therapist know you aren't the problem? That problems capture you, challenge you, or block your true self and desired life. Our work will be conversational, deeply focused, crafted, and theory-backed to work towards the version of you you want to live with. I start with where do you want to be and work to get you there, not focus on your parents first.
