I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a strong backround in extended family systems therapy; however, I am trained in many other types of effective therapy. I have trained and worked in this venue for over fifteen years, seeing couples, individuals, families, adolescents, and children. My experience and training in clinics and within the public schools has given me a broad base of experience, yielding unique strengths in helping families and adolescents, addressing women's issues, treating addiction and adult children of alcoholic issues, blended family concerns, and more. I strive to help clients break free from those emotional, psychological, and thought constraints which impede progress, so clients may grow and attain optimum fulfillment in the relaionship with self and others. I have a full array of art, puppet, sand tray, and play therapy materials, to faciitate positive growth and change in even the very youngest family members. Some areas of emphasis: marriage and family counseling, individual psychotherapy, group therapy, psychological testing, addictions, clinical depression, co-dependency/adult children of alcoholics, grief and loss, issues of abuse (trauma), premarital counseling, women's issues. I have very reasonable fees for the Orange County area and I accept most types of insurance plans, including compensation for the Victims of Crime program.
