Feel like your Authentic self again
Hi! I’m a Heart-Centered Therapist, dream specialist, and author based in Newport Beach. My approach to therapy is inspired by Graceful Dreaming and Balanced Living.
We all go through periods of uncertainty and life changes. Maybe you've noticed not feeling like yourself lately, perhaps struggling with anxiety, self-doubt, and low self-worth. As your therapist, I listen to you. I listen carefully to who you are, what you feel—and most importantly, how you'd like to feel.
I work with professionals, mothers, and creatives, and support individuals through stressful challenges, career changes, family and relationship tension, grief, and traumatic experiences. In our sessions, I help you listen compassionately to your caring voice and inner wisdom, guiding you to remember your authentic self.
I specialize in supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and low self-worth in cultivating a deeper inner connection with inner peace, inner trust, self-worth, and authenticity within a peaceful, warm, and compassionate space for self-reflection.
My approach is compassionate, caring, and collaborative. With a psychodynamic embrace, I invite dreamwork, mindfulness, EMDR, and visualizations. If you are interested in listening more closely to your dreams, I help guide you through inner explorations with Jungian-informed dreamwork. If you wish to invite spirituality, I create space for you to embrace your faith. I am here with you as you rebuild and recreate, and remember that you are enough, whole, and worthy.
I invite you to gently embrace a more heart-centered life grounded in self-compassion, authenticity, and inner balance.

Many people who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, or stressful life events also struggle with limiting beliefs, self-doubt, and not feeling enough.
I gently support you in navigating uncertain times, finding peace in uncertainty, and cultivating a deeper inner connection. I am here with you as you rebuild and recreate—as you remember your inner stillness, connection, and authentic self. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, understood, and inspired to tap into your inner wisdom. Over time, you may feel inspired to cultivate a more heart-centered life rooted in self-compassion, authenticity, and inner balance.
I invite you to schedule a free consultation call where we can have a heart-centered conversation and explore if we are a good fit, and if therapy feels right for you.
I specialize in working with clients ages 18-64.
