Therapy Services in Newport Beach, CA
Therapy for grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, and women’s mental health, with specialized care for traumatic loss and the perinatal period.
I offer individual therapy for adults in Newport Beach and online throughout California. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care, including EMDR, IFS, and ACT.
Individual Therapy for Grief, Trauma & Mental Health
You don't need to know exactly what kind of therapy you need before reaching out.
Start with what has been happening. We'll talk about what you're experiencing, what you want help with, and what kind of support makes sense from there.
My areas of focus include the following:
EMDR Therapy in Newport Beach, CA
Some experiences continue to affect us even when we understand that they're over.
EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is an evidence-based therapy that can help process traumatic experiences, distressing memories, anxiety, and traumatic loss.
As a Certified EMDR Therapist, I'll help you understand how EMDR works, whether it's appropriate for what you're experiencing, and what to expect before we begin.
Anxiety & Depression Therapy in Newport Beach, CA
Anxiety and depression can show up differently, but they often overlap. You can feel constantly on edge and completely exhausted at the same time, or find yourself caught between thinking too much and not having the energy to do much at all.
We'll look at what's contributing to how you're feeling and work together on what can make everyday life feel more manageable again.
Therapy for Women in Newport Beach, CA
Women experience enormous physical, emotional, relational, and identity changes across adulthood.
I work with women navigating pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, relationships, fertility, perimenopause, menopause, grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression.
My work includes specialized training in maternal mental health, with particular attention to the perinatal period and the experiences that can accompany pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and loss.
Traumatic Grief Therapy in Newport Beach, CA
All grief can be profound and life-changing. Traumatic grief describes something more specific: grieving someone you love while also coping with trauma connected to how they died.
I provide compassionate bereavement care following traumatic losses, including the death of a baby, child, family member, or someone deeply important to you.
Our work can make room for both parts of the experience- your relationship with the person you lost and the circumstances surrounding their death.
How I Approach Therapy
Warmth matters. So does knowing what we're working toward.
I want therapy to feel like an actual conversation with someone who is paying close attention.
I'll listen, ask questions, notice patterns, and help us make sense of what is happening together. Depending on what you need, our work may draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and other evidence-based approaches.
You won't be expected to fit yourself into a particular therapy model. We'll figure out what is useful for you.

Not Sure Where to Start?
That's completely okay.
