    On this page you will find podcasts led by me that offer information on a variety of subjects - the basics of therapy to story telling of actual cases.

    Therapy shouldn't be scary.
    By sharing what happens "Inside Therapy" I hope you will be encouraged to work on yourself as an individual or in the context of any relationship you are in, whether that be as a couple, in a family, or within the community. 

    For any storytelling you hear on cases, please keep in mind that minor changes have been made to honor the confidences of any person involved.  

    At the beginning of each podcast you will hear an important disclaimer. 

    If you're in or near Orange County, California and these podcasts are encouraging you to get support, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
