Therapist Profile

My Approach to Helping

I am a Registered Marriage Family Therapist Intern. I provide Individual Therapy for Adults, Adolescents, and Children, at an affordable rate. I also offer Pre-Marital, Marital and Relationship Counseling. On Monday's from 2-3:30 I offer Mid-Life Women's Support Group in Irvine. In Los Angeles this Group is held on Tuesday's.

As an Intern, I can offer my clients lower cost therapy service, which many times equals the co-payment of many Insurance Companies, without involving the Insurance Carrier. My fees are negotiable and based on Client Income. I have committed to see 10% of my clients on a hardship basis, for as low as $50.00 a session.

I use a Jungian orientation to assist my client's sort through the difficulties that life has presented. This approach could lead to fullfilling one's potential in life. Jung referred to this as Individuation. This orientation may include dream work, journaling, & spiritual development. The goal is to get in touch with who you are at the core of your being, beyond the role of parent, spouse, child, sibling or employee.

The Jungian approach to therapy will be especially helpful to those who are Experiencing anxiety or depressionl Needing to take a step back and look at life from a different perspective Experiencing a loss of personal meaning in life Anticipating/experiencing a change in their personal/professional lives Exploring a decision, opportunity or challenge Wanting to discover a spiritual path in life. Recovering from emotional or physical abuse Experiencing envy or jealousy Lack the ability to make good decisions
