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 was a Professor and Director of Clinical Training in a graduate clinical psychology program for over a decade, maintaining my therapy practice while teaching, until I decided to devote myself to my therapy practice in 2021.
I understand the need to define the self and relationships beyond the inherited stories of how life should look. 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.
My practice is a place of inclusion and respect for all races, genders, sexualities, kinks, relationship configurations, spiritual traditions, body sizes, neurotypes, and physical abilities. A space where every part of you is invited to belong.
My favorite ways to recharge are writing fairy tales, reading fantasy novels, being outside, and spoiling my dog.

What kind of therapy is this?
I practice Depth psychotherapy which is informed by Psychodynamic and Jungian Analytical theories. We make sense of what's stirring inside of you, so life can feel more grounded, connected, and alive.
