My Specialties

  • Melancholic Music played by Guitar

    Depression & Low Mood

    Depression often reflects patterns of internalized self‑criticism, relational loss, or unresolved emotional pain. I help kids, teens and adults articulate their experience, explore unconscious patterns of sadness, and find pathways toward motivation, connection, and meaning.

  • Child, Teen and Adult therapy and play therapy services for depression and anxiety treatment in Orange County, California.

    Anxiety & Stress

    Anxiety is one of the most common concerns for children, teens, and young adults. We help clients understand the emotional triggers and relational patterns that contribute to worry, overwhelm, avoidance, and physiological symptoms. Through psychodynamic work, clients learn how early relational experiences shape their responses to stress, and they develop personalized strategies to regulate emotions and cultivate inner calm.
