About Me
Welcome
Hi, I'm Jeannie. I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (since 2005) with a practice in Newport Beach, CA.
I've always been drawn to therapy and I love what I do. In college, when I was trying to decide between becoming a writer or a therapist, I could not get away from how much I wanted to be part of peoples' healing journey.
I believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and change. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for people to explore their inner selves and overcome personal challenges.
Hurdles
I have experienced trauma in my life. The journey to understand and not feel owned by the experience has been long and arduous. I'm proud of the personal work I've done and have much to share with others who want their minds, emotions, bodies, and choices back.
What kind of help is this?
I practice Depth Psychotherapy, drawing from both Psychoanalytic and Jungian Analytical theories. I aim to provide an environment that fosters greater self-understanding, believing that meaningful and lasting change arises through the pursuit of insight and the process of self-discovery.

Here to help
Sometimes people ask, "How can you listen to this all day? Don't you get annoyed/tired/overwhelmed?" I love what I do and use my personal time to recharge. I take the therapy work you do seriously which means I take my self-care seriously too. My favorite ways to recharge are spending time with loved ones, reading anything by Brandon Sanderson, spoiling my dog, and gaming (especially TTRPGs).
If I can be of any help to you or your family, please do not hesitate to call.
