Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Newport Beach, CA

I utilize evidence-based approaches in my work with children, adolescents, adults, and couples/families, drawing upon techniques originating in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (including exposure-based therapies), Emotion-Focused Therapy, and attachment-based approaches to therapy (including those involving mentalization). I specialize in anxiety, trauma, eating/weight, or relationship issues, and adopt an individualized, culturally sensitive approach with each client. I view therapy as an opportunity for the client to share, to learn, and to grow through a close connection.

Are you feeling alone, unheard, or stuck? Are you experiencing anxiety, fatigue, and excessive worrying that impact your relationships and career? I’m glad you’re taking the time to notice these changes and to invest in yourself to become a better version of yourself. In sessions, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify ways to incorporate positive changes for your negative thought patterns. Thus, you will learn to become better equipped in maintaining your personal or professional goals. I am committed to helping my clients decrease anxiety and manage healthy relationships.

Are you stuck in a conflict or relationship loop? Do you and your partner have the same arguments over and over or does your family have a difficult time communicating? Wondering how you got here feels overwhelming and isolating. When conflict takes center stage and tensions run high we often don’t feel heard. I’m here to help you heal from unrecognized patterns, fears, or habits that keep you from having the relationships and life that fits you. Together, we take steps that propel you towards achieving your goals. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your goals and obstacles.

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with over 15 years experience providing psychotherapy to adolescents, adults and couples in private practice and school settings. I practice the evidence based psychotherapies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focus Brief Therapy. I work to educate and guide my client to reconstruct and change their thoughts and behaviors.

I'm a clinical psychologist serving individuals, couples, and families under stress. I work with individuals to help them change their relationships with painful emotions, develop new skills, make sense of difficult experiences, and build meaningful relationships. My work with couples and families focuses on interrupting destructive patterns and promoting more attuned connections. I particularly enjoy working with clients who want to build more fulfilling relationships and meaningful lives in the wake of major stress.

I know that traditional therapy can be intimidating and unaffordable for many. After spending thousands of hours over the past decade helping clients from all ages, profiles and backgrounds, this is what I’ve learned: We all have meaningful and complex stories. We carry pain, trauma, and wounds with us from our past in our own respective way. We’ve adopted unhealthy patterns from our past relationships and unique family systems that we tend to bring with us into our present life. And we crave many of the same things: healing, transformation, and healthy, thriving relationships with our partners… and ultimately — ourselves.

Our lives are filled with so much unknown and mixed emotions. My hope is to help clients through this journey and to help them out of the feeling of being "stuck". I see all ages of individuals and have a passion for working with teens and young adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness/pain, self-esteem, co-dependency, perfectionism, people pleasers, and/or relationship conflicts. I enjoy taking a collaborative and empathetic approach with my clients to best provide a safe and open space to explore whether it be their first time in therapy or visiting again.

It’s easy to get lost in the midst of your overwhelm. Trying to manage everything for yourself and your family has you feeling tense and stressed and everything in between. It’s just hard to maintain that level of output. If you’re feeling like this, we should talk. Your needs and your sanity matter. Sometimes it’s hard to justify putting yourself first because it takes more work.
