At Lotus Therapy, I offer individual therapy in Newport Beach for adults seeking greater clarity, emotional balance, and support through life’s challenges and transitions. Individual therapy provides a space to slow down, reflect, and better understand what’s shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward. Others are navigating midlife transitions, relationship changes, identity shifts, stress, ADHD, or learning differences.
​
My approach to individual therapy is humanistic and narrative, grounded in the belief that you are not broken — you are responding to your experiences. Together, we explore the stories you’ve carried about yourself and your life, gently separating you from patterns that no longer serve you while reconnecting you with your strengths, values, and preferred ways of living.
​
Therapy is collaborative and paced with care. Whether you’re seeking support during a difficult season or wanting to deepen self-understanding and growth, individual therapy can help you feel more grounded, empowered, and aligned with yourself.

I provide couples therapy and marriage counseling in Newport Beach, specializing in Gottman Method–informed couples therapy to help partners strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and rebuild trust.
​
Couples often seek therapy when they feel disconnected, stuck in recurring arguments, or impacted by experiences such as infidelity, emotional distance, or ongoing tension.
​
Using the research-based Gottman Method, couples therapy focuses on improving communication, increasing emotional safety, and helping partners better understand one another’s inner worlds.
​
In couples therapy, we work together to:
​
-
Improve communication and reduce harmful conflict patterns
-
Strengthen emotional connection and friendship
-
Repair trust and rebuild after breaches or betrayals
-
Develop practical tools for managing conflict more effectively
-
Create shared meaning and relationship goals
​
My approach integrates the structure of the Gottman Method with humanistic and narrative therapy, allowing therapy to feel both practical and deeply personal. The goal is not to eliminate conflict, but to help couples feel heard, respected, and supported — even during difficult conversations.

I offer adolescent therapy in Newport Beach, CA, supporting teens and their families through the emotional, social, and developmental challenges of adolescence.

Therapy provides a safe, supportive space for adolescents to explore their experiences, build coping skills, and feel understood.
​
My work with adolescents is warm, collaborative, and developmentally appropriate. I strive to create a trusting environment where teens feel respected and heard, while also partnering with families when appropriate to support healthier communication and connection at home.
​

Better understand and manage emotions
