Domestic Abuse therapists in Laguna Beach, California CA

When you find yourself feeling violently out of control, this is the time you must reach for help. With me, through psychotherapy, I can help you move through feeling broken or disconnected and push towards your life-vision of wholeness and purpose.  

I trained at Harvard and Vanderbilt, I have a sense of humor, and I am dedicated to the people who enter my office. If things were fine the way they are you would not need me, so be prepared to be challenged, and be prepared to work hard. I will be with you every step of the way.  

I have specific training by the STOP Program in San Diego to help you with anger management  

At Nsight Psychology & Addiction, our team of licensed therapists will work with you to resolve the problems that exacerbate addiction. Underlying issues such as trauma, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders often continue to be a stumbling block until they are effectively resolved.  

In my work with victims of domestic abuse and violence, I focus on increasing self-worth, self-compassion, and self-love. It is by working on these aspects of ourselves that we come to recognize that we deserve more.  

What if we could see the broken pieces of ourselves and view them with compassion? What if we saw our scars as marks of courage and resiliency? The journey towards wholeness includes accepting each part of ourselves--the part that is joyful, the part that laughs, the part that hurts, the part that feels empty.  

I am a psychologist, marriage family therapist, bioenergetic analyst, and psychoanalyst with more than 30 years of clinical experience in treating adolescents, adults, and marital couples. I am skilled in helping a person to feel understood and related to in a new and helpful way.  

Home should be a safe place, a retreat away from the difficult times at work or school. When home is fillled with anger or control it is essential that one gets help. The cycle of abuse usually begins with builing of tension, then a major fight erupts followed by remorse and regrets.  

I work with families and individual of domestic abuse and violence. We assist in helping clients set up a safe environment and a safety plan for emergencies.  

I have over 20 years of experience with working with both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence.

I also serve as President of CADVOC in Orange County as I work with other Probation Approved Programs. I also provide individual counseling session to both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence.
