Therapists in Newport Beach, CA

When you have tried to resolve issues on your own, and things just aren't changing, it is time to seek professional help. Perhaps your or your significant other's past and unresolved issues are what is creating the distress; an inability to trust, to feel joy and happiness, to pursue dreams. It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.

If you're reading this, you may be in the midst a challenging event (a breakup, a loss of a loved one, a life transition, loneliness, burnout, or simply unhappy with where you are). You might have also experienced adverse childhood experiences where you were surrounded with alcoholism, criticism, personality disorders, or neglect. Oftentimes our unresolved pain can appear today as anxiety, depression, anger, self-judgment, uncertainty, addiction and a host of other things that alerts us that we have some unhealed parts we need to attend to.

Feeling pain, or feeling lonely and sad? Or maybe you feel emptiness. A huge hole of emptiness and you have no idea how to fill it. Life can be hard. Even when we do our very best, sometimes it just doesn't feel like it's enough. We can have feelings of pain, sadness, anxiety and other hard feelings we try to ignore and push away. Maybe you best is never good enough and you're tired of trying. Feelings of abandonment, emotional neglect, failure, bullying and traumas can stay with us throughout our lives until we seek out healing. We can embark on this journey healing together. I'm here to help.

There will be instances when you feel "stuck" or experience suffering. The time is now to invest in yourself. Guidance from a professional outside of the current situation may provide necessary support to alleviate distress and find your path with a more informed perspective. I offer a warm and safe environment in which to explore areas of concern and strength. With over two decades of experience, I have treated issues not limited to: anxiety, co-dependency, recovery, life transitions, chronic illness, abuse, childhood disorders, divorce, co-parenting, and depression.

Are you getting what you desire from LIfe, Love, & Relationships? Your personal peace and contentment in these areas is truly my passion!

We'll quiet the inner critic, develop positive patterns, and lay the foundation to become the best version of "You" in all interactions. I believe you will improve in your confidence, compassion, and communication and be on your way to asking for what you need and want whether you are in a restaurant or in a relationship! I believe in YOU!

Life adjustments can really throw us off balance. They can cause us to ruminate, increase our already present feelings of anxiety or sadness, and make us shame-spiral as well. I believe that therapy exists to guide us through such trying times. Therapy is there to help us find self-acceptance, be our true selves, and push us out of our comfort zones in such a way that we become stronger and more resilient individuals.

Have you said to yourself "IF" I make enough money, lose weight, etc., "THEN" I will be happy, content, or joyous, only to find that you are left feeling incomplete or unaccomplished?

Do you ever find yourself fixated on your worth as a person, parent, or loved one? Using an eclectic approach I work with clients to find their worth, ease their critical voice, and create a joyous life through self-acceptance.
