Therapists in Newbury Park, CA

Childhood trauma can cripple us, it creates overpowering ‘intense’ emotions such as anxiety, depression, and anger when left unattended which begins to create physical symptoms to defend our bodies from the internal wounds. Has there ever been a time in your life where you have experienced this reaction? Are you experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, early teens, adolescence, adulthood, or as a senior? I aim to utilize a variety of actionable techniques to help reduce trauma related symptoms and make lasting changes in life.

Individuals come to my practice when their usual coping skills/communication are no longer effective, often leading to anxiety, frustration and at times feelings of hopelessness. These problems often interfere with normal daily routines. The Good News is that Things Can and Do Get Better. My approach to working with adolescents and adults is active, collaborative, and practical, in a safe and supportive setting. My goal is to bring clarity, new perspectives, and understanding to these situations.

I believe an individual can gain awareness of their strengths and use those strengths to move toward growth and personal satisfaction. Through the therapy relationship, clients create their own goals toward growth, and are supported as they move toward experiencing the world around them in a more beneficial way.

I’ve been through my own therapy as a young adult when I was stuck in a bout of anxiety and panic attacks due to childhood trauma. Throughout my years of working with traumatized individuals, I learned first-hand about how childhood trauma can have a strong impact on adulthood.
