Insight is just the beginning. Let's work on what happens next.
ONLINE THERAPY & EMDR FOR ANXIETY, RELATIONSHIPS & TRAUMA
As seen on American Health Front on CBS
You can see the pattern.
Whether you've been in therapy for years or never tried it, you probably have some idea of what's going on. You can see the overthinking, the old habits, the way your past shows up in your present.
And then the moment comes. The text that goes unanswered. The shift in your partner's tone. The conversation that doesn't go your way. And everything you know goes right out the window.
Understanding the pattern isn't the hard part. Knowing what to do in that moment is.
In those moments, you might
feel anxious and…
struggle with overthinking and decision-making
replay social interactions and question what you said or did
have a hard time setting firm boundaries
find your mind jumping to the worst-case scenario
feel triggered lately and…
feel less in control of your reactions to certain situations or people
become overwhelmed by things that "shouldn't" affect you so much
feel emotionally exhausted more often than not
notice in your relationships…
you feel lonely or unheard, even with the people closest to you
small moments turn into big conflicts with your partner, family, friends, or coworkers
you keep falling into patterns you thought you'd outgrown
So, now what?
You don't need more insight. You need a different experience.
Dr. Jenna Holden, therapist in Newport Beach
I’m Jenna.
I help people go from knowing to doing.
Most people who find their way to me already know a lot about themselves. What they want is to feel different, and to know what to actually do when the hard moment hits. That's where we focus.
We'll calm your nervous system so you can think clearly when it counts, get to the root of what keeps repeating, and practice new ways of responding — in session, and out in your real life. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and relationships: seemingly different, but they tend to travel together.
Therapy with me feels conversational and easy to settle into, even when we're talking about hard things. But it's more than just talking: there's always a clear purpose, and you'll walk away with practical changes you can actually use.
How I can help
Anxiety
Stop overanalyzing every interaction and second-guessing every decision. We'll calm the spiral and get to what's driving it, so you can feel more like yourself again.
Relationships
Same fight, different topic? We'll look at how you connect, communicate, and protect yourself, so you can respond differently when it matters most, and feel closer after.
Trauma
Past experiences can shape how you react to stress, conflict, and closeness today. Therapy can help you process them with care, so the past stops running the present.
EMDR
For the experiences you've talked about plenty, and still feel. EMDR helps your brain process what's unresolved, so you can respond with more calm and less charge.
How it works
Let’s connect
Schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. I'll tell you how I work and answer any questions, and you can see if I'm a good fit.
Practice, not just talk
Weekly or biweekly sessions where we work through what's actually happening in your life and practice responding differently, so change isn't just something you understand, it's something you can do.
Feel the difference
The overthinking gets quieter. The reactions get smaller. And when the hard moments come, you'll know what to do.
