THERAPY FOR ANXIETY IN NEWPORT BEACH CALIFORNIA
Learn to take control of your thoughts and feelings, instead of letting them control you
Explore the transformative power of Dialectical Behavior Therapy for anxiety, relationships and stress.
Wether you are an anxious college student, overwhelmed mom, chronically stressed business exec, or struggling to navigate a difficult relationship, DBT skills give you the exact blueprint for how to cope with emotions (even the super intense ones), how to handle emotional crisis (without making it worse), how to take control of your thoughts (breaking free of old patterns) and how to have connected, fulfilling relationships.
If emotions or relationships feel hard for you it’s not your fault! These are skills we all need daily and yet they are almost never taught, and some people are just wired to feel emotions more intensely than others (myself included)! I want you to know you are not alone and there is an easier way.
Investing in your mental health is one of the most important decisions you can make, and I am committed to providing you with the highest level of care and expertise that you deserve. Whether you’re dealing with specific anxiety symptoms, seeking to enhance your overall emotional resilience, or wanting to work on your relationships, I’m here to help you thrive.
Your coping skills are worth investing in.
