Counseling & Therapy Services
I list the services I provide as separate areas of expertise. I know that what is needed in my role as a marriage counselor will be different than how I approach couples counseling. Then, of course, individual work will be an entirely separate skill set. I would also consider therapy as different than counseling and encourage you to read more about this and see what it is you really need.
For more information on my approach to these and other areas of expertise, read more on the Services page and take some time to explore the rest of this website. I would also strongly recommend reading my article on what to consider in selecting a therapist. There are vast differences in training and expertise with therapists, so it’s crucial to know what you are getting and whether that fits best with your needs and circumstances.
Orange County Psychologist
As a licensed clinical psychologist in Orange County and the founder of The Relation Foundation, my joy is journeying along side people struggling with the difficulties of life and relationship and, together, working through the barriers that hinder them from the freedom, enthusiasm, excellence and passion in which they were meant to live. Whether in couples counseling or individual therapy, I am dedicated to preparing you to thrive in life and this involves partnering with you relationally as well as providing you with an ever-growing list of resources, information and advice that you will find helpful in your process of growth and change.
Founder of The Relation Foundation
When establishing The Relation Foundation, I took time to pause and pull together the essence of what I believe healthy living entails. I found myself gravitating back toward three central pillars for a thriving life; work, love (relationship), and play (creativity). After over two decades of working with people in a variety of struggles, invariably one or more of these three areas are either out of balance or misguided. When I am able to help an individual or couple find their own unique purpose and balance points, the burdens lift and their full potential is unleashed.
