Online and in-person Depth Psychotherapy in Newport Beach
People are often drawn to Depth Therapy when something in their life no longer feels right. Relationships or roles or ways of interacting that once fit who you were, now feels cramped and uncomfortable. Like a jacket that used to fit so well and now feels tight.
Despite their best efforts, they sense an impasse, a heaviness, anxiety, or emptiness in their relationships or daily experience. Beneath the struggle is a quiet call toward something deeper: the desire to feel more alive, connected, and authentic.
Depth psychotherapy offers a way to explore these inner experiences and the patterns that shape your life. Helping you to connect with the meaning that may have been lost along the way.
Depth Therapy is adapted to meet people where they are, shaped by the concerns and goals that are brining them to therapy. Adolescents or people dealing with trauma or dysregulating symptoms may benefit from a more practical focus, with an emphasis on building coping skills and developing a sense of emotional steadiness. The focus here is on building resiliency by finding your voice and your strength so you can deal with whatever is happening in your life right now.
Others find that meaningful change happens naturally through the pursuit of self-awareness and insight. Together, we determine what best supports your healing and growth.
Sometimes the work centers on a specific problem. Other times, that concern becomes a doorway to deeper exploration and meaningful growth. Through this process, you can cultivate a life guided not by habit or fear, but by a deeper knowing within.


Hi, I'm Jeannie. For 20 years I have helped people explore their inner selves so they can better deal with their outer world. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (since 2005) with a practice in Newport Beach, CA.
I was a Professor and Director of Clinical Training in a graduate clinical psychology program for over a decade, maintaining my therapy practice while teaching. There was much I loved about being a professor, but after soul-searching during the COVID quarantine, I decided to devote myself to my therapy practice.
In times of great loss, turmoil, and feeling like the rug of life had been pulled out from under me, I have found healing, guidance, and inspiration in Depth Psychology, and am passionate about how helpful it can be.
Depth Psychotherapy is counseling that is informed by Psychodynamic and Jungian Analytical Psychology. We notice patterns, explore your inner world, work with dreams, honor personal creativity and spirituality, consider the impact of trauma, and give attention to the parts of you that may have been overlooked.
Many people find Jungian ideas especially meaningful in midlife and beyond, or in an existential crisis such as during a divorce, when questions of purpose and authenticity naturally become more vivid.

I discuss this with a few of the common topics bringing people to therapy here.
My fee is $200 - $250 for 45 minutes. I reserve a limited number of spots in my practice to work at a reduced rate (sometimes called a sliding scale).
I don’t take insurance, but I can provide you with a receipt, called a superbill, if you’d like to pursue reimbursement. Let me know if you have any questions about that process.
If you are a therapist, please see my fee policy.
Therapy meets weekly at a regular day and time. For those who are interested in a deeper work, we can discuss meeting more than once a week.
You will be learning new ways of thinking and the regular rhythm of meeting best helps to contain what is happening for you while supporting what is emerging.
That depends on your goals. Research suggests that most people find relief for the symptoms that bring them to counseling within the first 3-6 months. Others find that as they start to work in this way, they become curious and inspired to understand themselves more, and therapy can extend for several years. You are welcome to remain as long or as short as feels helpful to you.
If this feels like the kind of support you’ve been seeking, I invite you to contact me.
