Therapists in Granada Hills, CA

I have adopted a solution-focused approach in my practice and I aim to help each client reach their full potential. I have more than 15 years of experience working with children and families in different settings and 8 years working with clients in recovery. I hold a safe space for everyone to explore and process areas that bring challenges, discomfort, and fluctuating emotions. I believe that a lot can be achieved during therapy, but the real work continues between sessions.

Anxiety, depression and associated disorders can decrease our functionality, reduce our everyday joy and fulfillment, increase isolation and decrease motivation to achieve goals. I strongly believe in providing individuals, couples and families with a comfortable and supportive atmosphere to assist in overcoming obstacles of daily life, in which I take an individualized approach for the needs of each client. I assist clients in identifying needs currently met through unhealthy patterns of coping and find alternative coping mechanisms that can increase life fulfillment.

Are you feeling disconnected, stressed, stuck, scared, or angry? Are you repeating relationships, patterns, or situations and wishing you could break the cycle?

I return all calls the day that I receive them and if I am unable to help you I will try to direct you. wcccla.com

I believe that all people have an innate ability and desire for growth. Some of us just need that someone that they can talk to. Most of us think we are strong enough to be able to work it out on our own. Unfortunately, that is not always true. We tend to be our own worst enemy. Sometimes, a different perspective is all it takes. Many of us live life in accordance to our "belief system". If we carry a negative self view or the world, how can we expect to live life to it's fullest. We are working to heal our inner child through self-compassion, understanding, non-judgement and validation of self and others.

Having done this work for 30 years the issues that have sadly remained consistent are the high levels of child sexual abuse and adult sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. A significant number of people will have an assault in their lifetime, so you are not alone. My doc dissertation was on sexual trauma, resilience (surviving), & posttraumatic growth (thriving). I am dedicated to all types of trauma and see that people can not only get better but they can choose the life they wish to live, often with help of a therapist and a desire to change.

And the people around you don't always know what to say, so they give you advice or offer support in ways that can feel more distancing and isolating.

Do you get hijacked by your thoughts causing you to feel anxious, stressed, or overwhelmed? Freezing and giving up your power so the feelings of stress and overwhelm will just go away, leaving you feeling depleted? Are you in a relationship where the spark is not as bright, and the communication doesn’t feel as easy as it used to? Well let me just say that the relationship that we have with ourselves as well as the relationship that we have with others have changed over the past two years. We have had to navigate through the unfathomable and trying to get back to the way things used to be or finding a new sort of normal can feel

Do you often feel like no one understands you? Are you in a relationship where you are constantly trying to figure out what is going on? Are you confused as to why you feel unmotivated, have trouble sleeping, and aren't happy? I will help you feel less alone as well as guide you through a deeper understanding of what is happening for you. I am passionate about improving relationships, whether that's with friends, family or oneself. Most of us have a hard time identifying our emotions, or rely on feelings of happy, sad, mad to express ourselves. I will teach you how to recognize your emotions more accurately.
