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.
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.

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.
