Are You Feeling Burnt Out, Overwhelmed, or Exhausted? I am Providing Online and Telehealth Therapy Now.

It can be an overwhelming and chaotic world out there. More so every day. Anxiety has the potential to run your life. Today stress and anxiety may be impacting your life, relationships, and well-being more than ever. Today many of us are struggling with anxiety and overwhelming feelings of all kinds. Anxiety. Depression. Lack of motivation. Exhaustion. Anger. Even panic. It can feel like too much to sort through on your own. Alone. Your stress and anxiety have the power to undermine every aspect of your well-being: physical, emotional, relational, spiritual, professional, and financial. It can undermine your immunity system. Everything. When your anxious feelings are overwhelming you, it can feel like there is no solution. Nowhere to turn.

Even now, even in the midst of increasing stressors, you can create a shift in your life. You can change your experience of yourself. You can reduce your anxiety and panic. You don't have to do it alone. Help is available.

Even Small Shifts in Thinking Have the Power to Transform Your Pain Into Hope and Freedom Over Time.

You hold a beautiful untapped power in your mind and body to create your potential for healing and relief. One small step at a time, over time, can be enough to make the difference you are looking for. You can shift from your old fear and anxiety based thinking to increased calm and ease. All you need is someone to show you how. Anxious coping strategies you learned in childhood can be unlearned and tamed. You can change the way you are experiencing your life.

Learn How to Soothe and Heal Your Heart and Mind.

Every day people just like you are healing their emotions, hearts, minds, and relationships in my office. I have seen my clients literally transform their lives and relationships. Over and over again. I have seen my clients, people just like you, heal their lives. This transformation inevitably arises from opening your heart. And your mind. Learning to let go of your Critical Internal Voice. Learning how to self-regulate and calm yourself. You can learn this. One small change at a time. You can create more of the life you are looking for, step by step. I will walk right beside you as you do so.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Located 
in Newport Beach, Serving Communities Throughout Orange County And California.

Trained as a depth and somatic psychotherapist, I specialize in holistic body-mind approaches to anxiety reduction and resolving trauma. I am experienced in counseling adult individuals, Seniors, young adults, couples, parents, entrepreneurs, artists, writers, therapists, and therapist associates, POC, and LGBTQIA, among others.

I passionately believe in the capacity of human beings to re-create their lives. You can change your experience of your life by changing the way you think about yourself and the world. The way you treat yourself and regard yourself. Your relationship to yourself defines your relationship to others. When you create a healthier happier self, you are also creating happier and more satisfying relationships with others. You can create a more connected life and push back on the isolation anxiety can invite us to enter.

Together, we will use a variety of tools and approaches to understanding your experience of yourself, your life and relationships, including observing patterns, developing  increased insight, mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, enhanced body/mind connections, exploring myth, dream, and metaphor, as well as elements of Cognitive Behavioral approaches.

Counseling Services and Trauma Informed Specialties for
Addressing Anxiety, Panic, and Relationships.

I offer online psychotherapy and teletherapy services to individuals and couples throughout California. Most of my clients are adults working to improve relationships, reduce anxiety, increase self-esteem, resolve trauma, and increase personal growth. As so many of my clients are working to heal debilitating experiences of anxiety and panic, I have sought specialized training in the area of holistic anxiety reduction. 

Somatic Experiencing (SE).

I am a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). This dynamic healing modality works directly with the nervous system, going places where talk therapy can not always reach to release undischarged fight, flight and freeze impulses from the body. Our body holds our memories of trauma, loss, and grief. These trapped experiences power our anxiety, our impulsivity, our explosive rage and may deeply and unconsciously influence not only the way we show up in our relationships, but our ability and inability to form healthy enduring attachments. Incomplete impulses within the nervous system often contribute to pain and conditions that are resistant or unresponsive to standard therapy and medical treatment. We can work together to give you more access to the self healing capacity of your body. You can locate your innate well-being and allow it to show more fully in your life and experience of yourself.

I Blog About Anxiety, Panic, and Self-healing.

There are lots of approaches and viewpoints about anxiety and anxiety reduction. I favor an approach that is non-pathologizing, body-centered, and focused on the cultivation of healing,
self-regulation, and compassion. I do so in a manner that is informative, educational, and filled with good and sometimes irreverent humor. Stop by and check it out.
