Transpersonal Therapists in Newport Beach, CA

I am dedicated to helping clients gain more insight, balance, and happiness in their lives. Together we can uncover underlying reasons for symptomatic behaviors and emotions and address those to learn healthier, more productive and beneficial ways to deal with challenging situations. As a transpersonal therapist, my goal is to help clients gain greater self-knowledge and richer inner lives. Identifying areas of concern and learning ways to heal and triumph adversity can be challenging; however, I believe that together we can produce meaning from them and become resilient.

My typical client is looking for less stress, more joy and peace, purpose, connection, and meaning in life. They want to feel good and build a more meaningful relationships with those close to them, and feel secure in the knowledge that they are okay and "good enough". All of these things are possible Sometimes, all that is needed is a fresh perspective through education, positive support and encouragement. Each person is highly individual and I draw upon years of experience with a variety of traditional and alternative therapies to tailor treatment to your specific situation.

Psychological symptoms are not only a source of suffering, they are also a message that speaks to desires, conflicts, and pain, wrought by a personal history that can sometimes only come alive when spoken to a professional listening other. The flip-side of anxiety is always a passionate dream that has not been encountered as such. I see my work as bringing my clients closer to that possibility. The intimacy of speaking and listening is rare and a gift.
