You may look like you’re holding it all together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or exhausted from carrying so much for so long. Maybe you’re navigating trauma, relationship stress, postpartum changes, burnout, or a season of life that has left you wondering, “How did I get here?” You deserve a space where you can exhale & begin making sense of what’s been weighing on you. I am an EMDR-trained APCC based in Newport Beach. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free space to process what hurts, build practical tools for everyday life, strengthen self-trust, & help you create the life you want.

I believe that the key to finding inner strength and balance is within all of us. I specialize in empowering people who suffer from addiction, substance abuse, and mood disorders (anxiety, depression, anger) to take control of their lives. Substance abuse and addiction is a disease that effects the entire family, therefore family counseling and co-dependence therapy is a very important part of my treatment.

Many people come to therapy having already learned the tools: coping skills, breathing exercises, reframes - yet they still feel anxious, stuck, or dissatisfied. In working with me, we focus less on managing symptoms and more on understanding why they exist in the first place. I work with adults, couples and adolescents navigating anxiety, identity issues, attachment patterns, and major stage of life transitions. My approach is depth-oriented and integrative, aimed at addressing root causes rather than offering temporary fixes.

As a therapist, my deepest desire is to walk alongside others, to step into their shoes and to empower them to have compassion for the wounded parts of their being. I specialize in helping successful individuals who struggle with addiction as a way to cope with stress, loneliness, and identity issues. I want to offer my clients a new path of learning that they do not need to run or hide from themselves but that they are capable of experiencing uncomfortable emotions. That in experiencing the full spectrum of their emotions, they are able to allow peace, rest, and acceptance to permeate the deepest parts of their soul.

I provide therapy with a warm and empathetic approach where you can process without feeling like you are being judged. My therapy style is integrative, as I understand that human beings are unique and there is no one size fits all therapy.

I love working with individuals seeking more than symptom relief—they want a safe, collaborative space to explore the roots of their struggles and reconnect with their authentic self. You may constantly second-guess choices and replay interactions, wondering if you got them “right.” Food becomes a source of fixation—regretting what you ate, demonizing carbs, and feeling both proud and deprived when you avoid them. Your body feels like an enemy, criticized in ways you’d never speak to others. Deep down, you long for freedom from shame, to heal old wounds, and to feel grounded, whole, and at home in yourself.

Welcome. Are you looking for something more than talk therapy? Are you feeling stuck and not sure where to go next? I work with women entrepreneurs, executives, and women in leadership. Life can sometimes feel heavy, leaving you overwhelmed, disconnected, emotionally exhausted, or unsure of who you are beneath it all. You may be carrying the weight of past experiences, difficult relationships, anxiety, grief, or simply feeling lost and longing to feel like yourself again. Healing is possible, and it is possible to reconnect with peace, balance, and a deeper sense of self.

Some days it feels like you’re doing everything “right,” yet something inside is still unsettled. Anxiety lingers. You feel disconnected from yourself and you try so hard to be everything for everyone, pushing your own needs aside until the “not enough” feeling creeps in. The overwhelm builds, frustration follow and then you find yourself right back at the beginning again—caught in a pattern that so many people quietly live with.
So many people are carrying exhaustion, disconnection, and the pressure to “keep going” even when they feel anything but okay.

Have you tried everything but nothing seems to work? Do you tend to find yourself overreacting to the smallest things daily? Are your negative thoughts in control of your life and how to react to situations? Finding ways to manage your feelings, past experiences, and current relationships can be tricky, especially if you’re trying to do it on your own. You may not have to do it alone though; I could be there with you through this journey. Having a therapist is more than just someone to talk to, it’s someone who can sit with you in the difficult moments in a way that makes sense to you.
