Are you in crisis? Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or sad? Is your teen or younger child having difficulties? Perhaps you have struggled with anxiety, fear, sadness, loneliness, and difficulties in relationship. My intent is to help you discover what you want to be different in your life and then find ways to make those changes. Often this means improving relationships -- learning about communication, finding better ways to deal with conflict, and becoming closer. Finding a safe and collaborative place to explore and address what is troubling you is the first step in healing.

Our lives are made of a multitude of experiences that form our unique story. Whether you are coming to therapy to heal, grieve, recover or rediscover- my goal is to provide you with gentle and compassionate support as we explore your story together. I have over 13 years of experience working with adults and it would be a privilege to get to journey with you this season.

Therapy is a bad idea... said no one ever. You're at a point where you know you deserve to feel better, you're just not sure where to start. You want to feel empowered and "free" again. Maybe it's a difficult relationship, behaviors/thoughts that no longer seem to be working or decisions you've made in the past you're having a hard time making peace with. If you're looking to let go, to forgive yourself and others, to live in the present, ask for what you need and want, and not take things personally, I can help.

Life is a journey, and in seeking therapy you are taking a step to shape that journey. Choosing a therapist can be difficult, complicated by therapy jargon. To put it simply, we will examine your past, evaluate your present and collaborate on your future. Therapy is not without risk. However, I will provide a safe environment and a non-judgemental ear for you to explore your life and its infinite possibilities. You will determine where you want to go and I will work with you to help you get there. I look forward to hearing from you.

I am an experienced Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Woodland Hills and Calabasas. I treat individuals with Anxiety, Panic Disorder, Depression, Relationship conflicts, Adjustment to life stressors, Depression, Prenatal, Post Partum, and Parenting issues.

I provide therapy to children, adolescents, and adults for broad spectrum of issues ranging from mild to severe. I counsel individuals and families for relationship difficulties, separation/divorce, parenting challenges, individual/family crises, survivors of abuse, depression, anxiety, eating disorders, grief/loss, trauma, and suicidal/self-injurious behavior.During difficult times when a person feels very vulnerable, it takes a tremendous amount of courage and energy to seek help. My approach is warm and genuine; my sessions are collaborative so clients to develop effective coping skills to overcome obstacles in their life after therapy has terminated and not foster dependency.

When we are feeling down and in need of support, we all deserve someone to talk to about our experiences. Sometimes it's not easy to communicate with those we are closest to about what we are feeling. I'm here to support individuals and families in processing their emotions and life experiences in a supportive and constructive environment. My goal when working with families is often to bridge the communication gap between adults and children. Some areas I specializes in are disruptive behaviors, depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment and communication challenges. Please reach out for a consultation if ever you need support.

Every one of us yearns for something: more money, greater understanding, closer relationships, less arguments, more time to play, a great connection to their purpose. How come it seems like others have what you want? A fulfilling life takes dedication, motivation and inspiration and you don't have to do it alone.So, whether you are feeling lost, lonely, depressed, afraid, anxious, confused or straight out angry at how your life is, call me and lets see if we can begin turning your daily life into the BEST LIFE EVER!!!

The current unprecedented state of our world has presented many challenges and taken a toll on mental health and wellness, triggering the body's stress response, de-activating the immune system, and putting our mind/body in survival mode. This has the propensity to escalate anxiety, depression, addiction, and disease and reactivates outdated coping skills and keeps our body in fight or flight. Let's work together to create a strong support system to manage and navigate the stress and uncertainty and minimize the toll on our mental health, physical health, and relationships, and empower ourselves for the future.

Fundamentally, people need to feel "of use" and this usefulness must be meaningful. I work with my clients to find ways to connect with the world around them and to express their creative productive selves in concert with this foundational premise. The work promotes healthy outlooks on the environment and healthy perspective of oneself. All relationships are addressed, including those with significant others, social environment, work/career/productivity, and oneself. All changes occur through experiencing oneself and the environment in healthy ways.

My experience started in 2010 working as an intern in an inpatient facility for an eating disorder residential program for a about two years, from there I moved on to working as a therapist at a residential program treating adolescents with dual diagnosis. In the mean time I completed PsyD program and got my doctorate in clinical psychology.

Quite often life can be full of challenges and it can be difficult to work through them. Part of my goal as your therapist is to help you see that despite these challenges, they can be worked through and you can have a meaningful and fulfilling life. I personally enjoy being on this journey with my clients and will utilize a variety of approaches and techniques to help you overcome them. I do believe that everybody is different and deserves to have a customized approach which works for them, and that is why I work from an eclectic perspective and will personalize a treatment plan for each client.

Getting to the heart of a problem with compassion and skill, whether it be depression, anxiety, unresolved relationship difficulties, or just being stuck at some place in life, is the key to bringing about a true internal shift that leads to change and relief. People often come to me who have tried other approaches to their suffering, and I am frequently told that, within a few sessions, they begin to experience a new way of relating to themselves and others. I'm happy to discuss further.

Being a psychologist allows me the privilege to participate in and witness the inspiring process of my clients as they journey towards a happier and more fulfilling life. Therapy is not just for those individuals in deep despair or experiencing serious mental illness. If you are human, have a family of origin, and life experience up until this point, you qualify! Our unique pasts come with opportunities for growth through hard work, self confrontation, and the courage to face whatever pain follows you into the office. Rather than avoiding pain, facing it can be a path to reaching full potential.

I am passionate about working with women of all ages and walks of life that are on a journey to grow self love, a positive self image, and are looking to change self talk from negative to positive. It is my pleasure to assist women struggling with anxiety and/or depression to increase their mood by changing self talk, examine negative core beliefs, unravel dysfunctional behavior patterns, and provide tools to meet their life goals.

Are you always a little bit afraid that an anxiety attack is waiting around the corner? Have you been hit with surprise anxiety more times than you can count?

Attacks can be terrifying, and I don't want you to have to suffer them anymore. Holistic practices can reduce anxiety tremendously, and I look forward to teaching you tools to take your life back, and reach your goals.
