Newport Beach · Online Therapy Across California & Oregon
Therapy for the patterns you’re ready to understand, not just manage.
If you’ve been feeling anxious, stuck, disconnected, or caught in patterns you don’t fully understand, therapy can help you make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface.
Psychodynamic therapy for teens, young adults, and adults in Newport Beach and online across California & Oregon.
I offer support for anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, life transitions, and the deeper patterns beneath them.
You landed here for a reason. I'm glad you did.
Maybe you've been holding it together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed underneath. Maybe your teen has gone somewhere you can't quite reach. Maybe you keep hitting the same wall — in relationships, in your thoughts, in yourself.
Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. Together we look beyond surface symptoms and explore the patterns, emotions, and experiences shaping how you relate to yourself and others.
“You don’t need to have the perfect words for what’s going on. We can start there.”
For people who want more than a quick fix.
Some therapy focuses mostly on symptom management. That can be helpful, but sometimes you want to understand why the symptoms keep showing up in the first place.
Psychodynamic therapy helps you explore the deeper patterns beneath anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, life transitions, and emotional pain.
This work can support you in understanding:
Why certain emotions feel so intense or hard to access
Why the same relationship dynamics keep repeating
Why transitions can stir up anxiety, sadness, or uncertainty
Why you may feel stuck even when you’re trying hard to move forward
How past experiences may still shape your present life
How I Can Help
Teen Therapy
Support for teens who may not have the words yet.
Teenagers often carry more than they know how to explain. Anxiety, depression, shutting down, school stress, identity questions — these aren't character flaws. They're signals. I offer teens a space that's genuinely theirs — no agenda, no pressure, just real connection.
Young Adult Therapy
For the time of your life when everything is changing.
Even when life looks on track, you can feel anxious, disconnected, or stuck in patterns that don't make sense. Therapy helps you slow down and understand what's actually driving things.
This can be especially supportive if you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, life transitions, self-doubt, or the feeling that you’re not quite where you thought you’d be.
Adult Therapy
You've tried managing it. What if you understood it ?
Psychodynamic therapy goes deeper than symptom management — exploring why the same patterns keep showing up in anxiety, depression, relationships, and life transitions. The goal isn't just to feel better. It's to understand yourself well enough that things actually change.
Child Therapy
This service is currently offered on a limited basis.
I have specialized training in psychodynamic psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and young adults, and my work with children is grounded in connection, play, creativity, and emotional understanding.
My practice is primarily focused on online therapy across California and Oregon. Child therapy may be available — contact me directly to discuss.
How I Work
Warm. Curious. Depth-first.
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy — which means we explore not just what you're feeling, but why. I pay attention to what's spoken and what isn't. Genuine connection is always at the center of the work.
