Is your relationship making you feel frustrated, hurt or disconnected? Are you trying to decide if your relationship is worth saving? Do you wonder how you will ever trust your partner again or feel the closeness that you once did? If you've answered yes to any of these questions....you are not alone.
In today's world, finding and maintaining healthy relationships can be challenging. As an Orange County Marriage and Family Therapist offering private counseling services for over 20 years, I know that it is possible to create the relationships that you desire. I specialize in helping couples reconnect, increase intimacy, work through the pain after an affair and rebuild the foundation of their relationships. As an individual, if you are struggling to end a toxic relationship, are afraid of being alone, or want to find a healthy relationship, I can help you identify the relationship patterns that have been keeping you stuck in order for you to move on with your life and to start living again.
In addition to my work as a therapist and counselor, I am a Psychology Professor in the Graduate Program at Pepperdine University, where I teach students to become highly effective therapists. It is my belief that all people have the capacity to change with the help of a skilled therapist in an atmosphere of safety and acceptance. You will find my counseling style to be warm, empathic and genuine. If you want to feel more connection, passion and happiness in your relationships, please contact me to find out if I am the right relationship therapist for you.
