Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Laguna Beach, CA

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who believes meaningful change begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported. I strive to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore challenges, better understand themselves, and work toward lasting change.

I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have completed Levels 1 and 2 of Gottman Method Couples Therapy, along with specialized training in Treating Affairs and Trauma. My clinical approach also draws from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

I work with adults, couples, and first responders experiencing relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, emotional regulation challenges, self-esteem concerns, and interpersonal difficulties. I have a particular interest in supporting law enforcement, firefighters, EMS personnel, and other public safety professionals navigating the unique demands of high-stress careers, cumulative stress, relationships, and work-life balance.

I also enjoy helping couples improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, navigate conflict, and work through concerns involving trust and infidelity.

My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I help clients recognize patterns, build useful skills, and make meaningful changes while tailoring therapy to each person’s individual needs, experiences, and strengths.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. Starting or coming back to therapy can feel like the right step and still feel difficult. Life is full of both/ands: "I am struggling and I will be okay," "I have a great job and I'm still feeling depressed." I am here to support you through the dualities of life and help you carry and navigate both. My approach is warm, friendly, gentle, and at times directive. I won't ever tell you what decision to make, but I will support you in figuring out what makes sense for you.

Welcome! I'm Geneva, and I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely supported, understood, and accepted. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and attachment theory to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and develop practical skills for everyday life.

I enjoy working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for change, my goal is to help you build confidence, discover your strengths, and create meaningful progress at a pace that feels right for you.
