Welcome
A Private Practice Rooted in Care and Community
I’m proud to call Orange County my home and built my private practice in Tustin because I love the area, the people, and the families. People come to counseling for many reasons, from anxiety and depression to relationship challenges, parenting struggles, infidelity, and past traumas. My goal is to help you live more authentically, embrace life fully, and develop resilience to face whatever comes your way.
"I was hesitant to start therapy, but from the very first session I felt seen and understood. Dustin’s calm and compassionate approach helped me work through pain I’d been carrying for years. I finally feel hopeful about my future." -T.L.
