How long have you been in practice?
I've been a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist for twenty-seven years, serving individuals and families in Laguna Hills, California. I've been in private practice at the same location in Orange County for the duration of that time.
Where are you located?
My office address is 25283 Cabot Road, Suite 201, Laguna Hills, CA. The cross streets are La Paz Road and Cabot Road. The office runs parallel to the 5 Freeway and we are across the street from the Outback Steak House.
Do you take insurance?
It's not really if I take insurance, it's if your insurance takes me, and what they will or will not pay. I am currently on the Preferred Provider List for both the Cigna and Aetna Insurance Companies. Other insurance companies will sometimes partially pay for a therapist who is not on their provider list.

What is the best way to make an appointment?
Please call me at (949) 837 6970. You will talk to me directly as I make all of my appointments personally. This allows you to talk with me and ask any questions you may have.

What is your fee?
For those clients who are not going through their insurance carrier, my fee is $110 per hour. Since the economic downturn, I've actually lowered my counseling fee in order to make therapy available to more families. If you have insurance coverage, you will be responsible for only the co-pay. I also have a sliding fee scale for those who have true economic need.

How often would I see you?
This is a difficult question to answer because every person is different and comes to therapy for a variety of reasons. Having been in the counseling field for twenty-seven years, there's little I haven't worked with -- this enables the time in therapy to take less time on the average than more. The length of time is also influenced by how hard a person is ready at resolving the challenges they have.
