Grief Therapists in Newport Beach, CA

Are you struggling to recover from a painful loss ? Feeling down, stressed, or overwhelmed? Maybe you find yourself lying awake worrying about your relationship, family, money, or life in general. Being strong all the time can be exhausting. We are all just doing the best we can every day, and it's easy to feel alone. Therapy can be a great place to slow down, to think carefully about your life, and get support. Maybe you just need someone to talk to, who will listen, without judgment. With over 20 years of experience I can also give constructive feedback, and help you find new approaches to old problems.

Everyone faces life transitions, some celebratory and others mournful. My aim is to help you navigate these transitions without sacrificing your emotional health. My approach is comprehensive and looks at all the possible influences affecting overall emotional health. A large part of my practice includes a focus on building mindfulness techniques to help you feel more in touch with yourself and empowered to respond to life’s challenges with ease. I integrate a relationship-focused, trauma-informed treatment, with evidenced based techniques such as EMDR, EFT, and CBT.

Life and its challenges can get pretty overwhelming! I strive to work collaboratively with people to create positive changes in a caring and non-pathologizing environment for those who are struggling with a variety of problems. My guiding approach to effective therapy focuses on seeing the problem as separate from the person. I believe that people are the experts of their lives. I choose to sit in a place of curiosity to help you uncover already present strengths or develop new approaches to life's challenges.

I have over ten years of experience working with couples, individuals and adolescents. Psychotherapy is a process of changing your thoughts, feelings and behaviors to lead you towards a life worth living. If you are ready to break your unwanted patterns then I am here to help.

I love working with adults who are 1st-2nd generation who struggle with big emotions, high/unrealistic expectations and poor self-esteem in setting healthier boundaries with themselves and others. I offer a compassionate and nonjudgmental space to identify, understand and increase self-acceptance of vulnerabilities. Let's re-connect with your strengths, improve relating better with others and learn new ways to live in wholeness. Together, we will identify sources of your issues, understand more compassionately how you have had to cope and find ways to adjust or replace unhelpful responses.

Are you having relationship difficulties? Do you feel stuck/hopeless? Are you suffering from a loss ? Are you struggling with a life transition? Maybe you have days where you feel totally alone, overwhelmed or misunderstood. You may be holding all of this inside or maybe you've tried to talk to friends or family, but just end up confused. You don't have to struggle with this by yourself. I'd like to help guide you through your struggles and help you to find the true joy in living again (or maybe for the first time).

You've been working through challenges on your own for quite some time. Family and friends think you are “fine”, but deep inside you are struggling to get through the day to day without breaking down. You're overwhelmed and exhausted by the demands of life and have been trying to change the way you feel, but things don’t seem to be any different no matter what. If you are ready for change and support within your personal life, then you are in the right place. Let's get you back to having peace and meaningful connection in life.

Do you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, grief or difficult life transitions? Do you find yourself feeling stuck and can’t seem to focus or move forward? There are many ways to get unstuck, and this is the work I love to do to help you heal, grow and live a more fulfilling life. I use an integrative approach including attachment-based work, family therapy, relational therapy, psychoeducation, CBT and mindfulness, bringing in each as needed. Above all, I strive to hold space and empathy for your life experience.

My clients are seeking healing from addictions, mental health, and identity issues as well as various types of issues related to grief & loss . Traumas experienced are central to many individuals and I take the approach of a witness to my clients experiences. I have spent over a decade working with individuals to find the healing and recovery they seek.

You are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As a therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and be the best version of you. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to resolve hindrances that challenges in your life may have caused. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you!

I have a large focus in working with adolescents and young adults. This is a significant time of life with unique challenges that may include navigating transitions, decisions, intimate relationships, or family of origin. I also work with children, couples, and families of all ages and am equipped to come alongside you in your mental health journey, wherever you may be. Together we can unpack early childhood wounds, learn to process and regulate difficult emotions, reframe and replace unhelpful thought patterns, process grief or loss , and manage difficult relationships.

I'm interested in helping you understand what triggers your emotional distress and why, as well as what to do about it. My approach engages your mind, body, and inner wisdom as we work together to meet your therapy goals. I'll teach you skills for managing your emotions and stress while helping you transform challenges into opportunities for growth, self-acceptance, and healing. I'm best suited to treat anxiety, grief and loss , trauma, and the lingering challenges of having grown up in a highly-stressed family.
