After over5 decades in the field of counseling, I work on a wide variety of issues and provide the unique service of zeroing in on issues right away without spending vast amounts of time amassing data which may or may not be relevant. If someone has the luxury of time and resources, weekly counseling can be extremely beneficial. It can also provide an alternative to expensive inpatient treatment and helpful resources when people need ongoing support after treatment. However time away from jobs, family and life is also an issue in therapy and most people are very busy with lives, jobs, and families.

I also have early AM hours (as early as 6 am) but do not work evenings or weekends. Early hours allow some people to come in early and get on with their day missing the traffic. Located at the end of the 55 Freeway in Costa Mesa, my office is easy to find. The actual office in the building can be a bit challenging however so I have a link for specific instructions once someone is parked in front or in the parking structure of the building.
