Therapists in Thousand Oaks, CA

You might feel like you are stuck in an old pattern or at the end of your rope. You might be wondering, "How did I end up here?" You might be a parent distanced from your teen or a teen who feels misunderstood. You could be a young adult asking “Who am I?” Perhaps you are a couple who aren't sure you still like each other. I offer compassionate support and hope for teens, adults, and couples who want something different with their lives but don't know where to start. Through gentle exploration and the opportunity to try new behaviors, you can experience growth and healing and have better, more fulfilling relationships.

You may be feeling as though what you are experiencing has no meaning and you're drowning, and you're not sure where to go to find relief or support, or even just a listening ear. I work with all ages 16+, although primarily with adolescents and young adults to find that purpose for the pain, as well as identify the skills to cope. We usually look to therapy once we realize we can’t do it on our own. I work to support you through those difficult experiences. A safe space and someone to trust can make a huge difference in how comfortable we feel in challenging ourselves and feeling those emotions we would do anything to simply avoid.

I imagine that on most days we all work hard to do the best for our children. No matter how hard some of their challenging behaviors may be; you have love, patience, understanding, and most of all you continue to try to be creative and consistent. But in the end, something just is not working. You continue to ask your friends and family for support and advice, yet you are growing more stressed and tired by the minute. I can help your adolescent come to understand, and work through their struggles and challenges.Adolescence can be a time in life that can be complicated, demanding, and sometimes confusing for both you and your teen.

Is your teenager feeling anxious or sad, grieving a loss, having problems in school or using drugs? Are you having trouble talking to your child about the changes they are going through? Your teenager experiences many stressors which can lead to various issues that impact your entire family and these stressors can be explored in therapy to give your family the relief you are searching for. Your teenager needs a safe place to express his/her feelings and learn healthier ways to cope with struggles to help him/her go on to lead a healthy life.

Also, in an effort to strengthen marriage and families, I have created a comprehensive pre-marital program and effective parenting course.
