If you seeking professional services, please note that SGI does not license or offer certification of competence to any person listed on the Referral Page. Rather, SGI allows professionals to list themselves and to indicate compliance with the Sexual Identity Therapy. Information included in this referral list is provided by the clinicians themselves, and SGI does not seek to verify and does not warrant the accuracy of the information provided by the members.
Persons who use this directory for help in seeking a mental health professional are urged to be wise consumers and inquire directly about a particular clinician’s qualifications. Factors which may be important to ask about include the clinician’s (1) education and training, (2) licensing or certification, (3) professional experience, (4) area(s) of specialization, and (5) fees and eligibility for insurance payments. Any legitimate professional will be happy to answer questions about such matters.

Sexual identity formation has become complicated by cultural messages that may not align with a person’s core values. It’s important to explore the influences to sexual identity with patience and respect to what’s most salient to the one navigating this journey. I work with both individuals and families dealing with questions around sexual identity. My other areas of practice include grief, trauma (EMDR) and young adult transitions. I serve the north Orange County area of Brea and surrounding cities.
