Therapists in Newport Beach, CA

My focus is working with teens, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, electronics/gaming addiction, anger, trauma and loss. Often, teens, adolescents and adults who are suffering have difficulty communicating with others, which in-term affects relationships with parents, friends, partners, and other important individuals. Teens and adolescents are also prone to depression and anxiety at this developmental stage, causing low self-esteem, isolating themselves from friends/family, angry/violent outbursts and significant mood swings. This may be difficult to endure alone, and that's where I come in.

Living your best life is possible when you partner with a highly skilled mental health provider. Are you anxious and worried about your future? Are you overwhelmed and need help ge tools to thrive? Do you need support to help your child or teen cope with isolation, anxiety or academic challenges? Know that you are not alone and that you can begin to experience peace, and hope.

It is important to seek help early on so that things do not worsen. Whether you are seeking marriage counseling, individual therapy, or therapy for your teen, I can help you get on track to a healthier more fulfilling life.

Trying desperately to help and connect with them only to feel like they are moving farther away from you despite how much you love them.
