Newport Beach · Online Therapy Across California
Therapy for the patterns you’re ready to understand, not just manage.
Psychodynamic therapy for teens, young adults, and adults in Newport Beach and online across California. 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Maybe your teen seems withdrawn, anxious, reactive, or harder to reach than they used to be.
Maybe you’re tired of repeating the same relationship patterns, spiraling through the same thoughts, or wondering why things feel harder than they “should.”
You don’t need to have the perfect words for what’s going on. We can start there.
Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and depth-oriented. Together, we’ll look beyond surface-level symptoms and begin understanding the patterns, emotions, and experiences shaping how you relate to yourself and others.

Therapy for Teens, Young Adults, and Adults
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
You don’t need to perform in therapy or arrive with a clear problem statement. You just need a place to begin.
STEP 1:
We have a free 20-minute call
You tell me a little about what's going on. I tell you a little about how I work. We both get a feel for whether this might be a good fit — zero obligation, zero awkwardness (hopefully).
Here's how it goes.
STEP 2:
We meet for a first session
You don't need to arrive with the perfect words or a tidy summary of your life. Just show up. We'll figure out together what this could look like.
STEP 3:
We begin — at your pace
Depth-first. No checklists, no homework, no performing. Just real, honest work at a pace that feels right for you.
