Find a Therapist in Newport Beach, California.

Clients who seek therapy with me benefit from a practical, down-to-earth approach that is both caring and engaging. I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where growth feels achievable and even enjoyable at times. I employ evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR trauma therapy to help you gain clarity, reduce anxiety, heal from past experiences, and build confidence as you move forward with greater peace and purpose.

Therapy is not a one size fits all experience. Though I extensively trained to understand specific theories of practice, I utilize a "prescriptive" approach. This means I will adapt to your needs in treatment. Therapy is co-created, it is relational, and it is in the therapeutic relationship where we seek personal growth to apply outside the therapy room. I work with adult individual clients who are grieving a significant loss, LGBTIQ+ adults, adults with creative blocks, neurodivergent adults, people pleasers, those recovering from trauma, and adults burnt out about their work.

My clients often find me easy to talk to and say they feel comfortable with me, trusting quickly. This can make the psychotherapeutic process easier and more effective for my clients, especially if they are nervous or don’t know what to expect. Therapy with me can range from just talking casually with each other, leading to insights, increased self awareness, and processing through emotional issues, or it could be more intensive deeper therapy like EMDR.

Let's think outside the box. I'm a supervising psychotherapist and project contractor with extensive experience. I've worked with government (CDC; INS; City of New York), NYC hospitals, nonprofits and the private sector. I've treated adults, adolescents & families in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I integrate state-of-the-art evidence based treatments with empowerment tools. When we're more empowered we become better able to attain wanted outcomes and self-discovery. My practice leans into person-centered "Client Driven Therapy." If your goal is to make a change or resolve a conflict, you can begin here. I work well with clients who seek new methods to support personal growth.

I'm a seasoned licensed individual therapist with a focus on how relationships shape our personalities and overall mental health. I use a comprehensive blend of therapeutic approaches including Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems, and Object-Relations Psychotherapy. Tailoring to the unique needs of individuals seeking personal growth, I empower clients to explore underlying patterns and emotional complexities. With an empathetic and goal-oriented perspective, clients find a path towards self-awareness, emotional balance, and confidence. My deep commitment to individual well-being positions me as an ideal guide for those seeking to transform and enhance their lives in therapy.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Many of us seek therapy to get relief from emotional distress, or to manage a problem that we are having in our lives. But often, those problems are connected to something deeper and causes us to feel “stuck” in patterns that we are unaware of. A full exploration of your history helps to uncover those more unconscious thoughts and reactions. Learning to manage the problems, while also addressing the underlying triggers is a crucial part in feeling more effective.
