Career Counseling Therapists in Newport Beach, CA

VIDEO/PHONE SESSIONS available- Having anxiety, stress, depression, work/ career transition issues? Difficulty with major life/world changes? Relationship, family, marital, addiction or ADHD issues? I can help. These are very uncertain times and it is extremely valuable to have a truly experienced and effective therapist to work with now more than ever. I have been doing counseling professionally for over 20 years and have seen my clients consistently overcome whatever challenges they have been facing. I offer support, compassion, valuable experience and a healthy relationship where a person can heal and grow.

My clients seek to go "further faster." Many are eager to perform better in their careers. They may feel they lack focus or feel strongly they are being undervalued and overworked. They also know they are capable of much more. They are typically being paid several thousand less per month than they could be. (I know, I was once there too.) I provide the needed insight, assessment, encouragement and positioning. Sometimes they need counseling to deal with blind spots, sometimes coaching, sometimes a hybrid. Does this sound like you? Let's talk and see if we are the right fit.

I work primarily with adults who are looking to manage symptoms of Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma. I will be with you on the journey of healing to discovery, recovery, and connection to your true self. I approach therapy with a person-centered mindset to create as comfortable and welcoming an environment as I can. I believe the trust built between you and a therapist is one of the more powerful tools we as clinicians can offer, and I hope to garner that trust in my own practice.
