Calabasas, CA 91372 (Online Only)
I am trained in neurofeedback, EMDR, Mindfulness, and work with stress reduction and other brain-related issues.
A therapist's main role is to earn your trust and develop a good rapport so that you will feel safe and comfortable to share about yourself. Receiving validation for your thoughts and feelings regarding your experience helps you to begin the healing process. You can begin to handle toxic situations/relationships and learn to set boundaries with others. Counseling encourages you to take care of "you" and teaches you how to improve your self-esteem. You learn to regulate and tolerate emotions causing anxiety & depression. You can begin to replace harmful habits with new healthier behaviors. I can see anyone in the state of CA online

I’m passionate about helping people find freedom from debilitating pain and anxiety. As a recovering attorney and mom of two boys, I know what it’s like to feel stuck in a career you don’t love and to feel guilty that you can’t show up as your best self for your family and kids. My ‘stuckness’ left me feeling physically and emotionally drained. I developed chronic pain, insomnia and was riddled with anxiety.

Couples therapy is the heart and soul of my practice. It has also become a gateway for specialized individual work with men, ages 30 to 60, particularly in life transitions and crises. Respecting the real differences between men and women, I provide men with effective and relevant tools for understanding themselves and solving their problems. It is a perspective that values their strength and integrity and focuses on using their best self to get the results they are seeking from therapy. I also continue to work with women, individually and in couples, showing them how to empower themselves, while relating more effectively to their partners.

Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists
How does mindfulness-based cognitive therapy work?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy originated in the work of John Kabat-Zinn of the University of Massachusetts Medical School. He developed mindfulness-based stress reduction, which is a technique found in yoga and meditation. MBCT is a combination of this type of stress reduction and cognitive behavioral therapy; it essentially quiets emotional distress through mindfulness, utilizing proper breathing and meditation. These techniques aim to bring the individual into the present moment when in a state of distress.
When do I know if I need treatment with mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
If an individual’s mind is filled with emotional distress and general negativity, the person may feel trapped. A mindfulness-based cognitive therapist can help a person change their thinking patterns as well as their behavior through calm acceptance and compassion. This therapy can provide an individual with the coping skills needed for a healthier and more constructive life.
What should I expect from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy?
This therapy often takes place in group sessions. A therapist will work with the group as well as with each individual. Meditation and breathing exercises are core practices that aim to invite inquiry and discovery into a person’s troubled mental state. The objective is to identify and lessen negative thoughts and behaviors and move toward optimal health and productivity. The individual will see life in a more realistic way. This therapy is supportive, accepting, and warm.
Is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy effective?
Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy is evidence-based and effective. One study found that people with major depressive disorder have benefitted from this type of therapy; the person accepts their distressed thoughts and also moves into healthier patterns of thinking. This therapy also aims to move an individual away from automatic negative responses. This type of therapy can bring a person lifelong change, with higher levels of satisfaction, less stress, as well as positive emotional and behavioral habits.
