Therapists in Westlake Village, CA

Therapy is a transformative process that creates a unique space for emotional support, safety, and growth. This work helps people relieve suffering by bringing awareness to how our external contexts and internal perspectives create our experience. Establishing a fulfilling and joyful life is possible by addressing emotional difficulties with empathic curiosity and environmental challenges with creative solutions.

Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

Hi there, I'm Kane. I'm a queer and gender-fluid therapist. I work with a range of clients including individuals, couples, hinge relationships, and polycules. I typically work with folks seeking a better understanding of themselves and their surroundings. We may be a good fit if you are looking for a blend of self discovery and more directive skills based approaches. I believe we are constantly balancing and negotiating between acceptance, validation, and change. My hope is for clients to gain insight into their current circumstances as well as to feel empowered with tools to manage stress, difficult emotions, and conflict.

We all need to be seen & witnessed. Whatever it is that feels too hard—be it exploring identity, navigating attachment wounds, combating intrusive thoughts, or processing the collective grief in the world—one of the greatest gifts you can give to yourself is dedicated time just for you & your needs. I would be honored to walk with you on your path. For me, therapy is relational. The human on the other side of the room (or screen) should feel like precisely that: a human! Together, we will create a container in which you can authentically examine your relationships with others as well as the pivotal relationship to self.

It is a gift to seek out a space of your own to be witnessed and understood– I’m so glad you are here. My work is rooted in considering the ecosystem of mind, body, spirit, and culture in relationship to community and self. My approach involves being curious about you as a whole person and tapping into the complex interplay of your embodied and emotional world. I draw influence from a relational, mindfulness, and depth lens. As a client-centered therapist, I seek to empower you to define your unique needs and goals for our work together.
