Racial Identity Therapists in Calabasas, CA

As a black therapist in Los Angeles, I understand what it is like to navigate both the beauty and challenges of being a POC. I help those who want to unpack their racial/cultural experiences and are looking for a culturally competent therapist. I guide BIPOC professionals in their careers, helping you find fulfillment and work-life balance. If you want to find solace and understanding, I’m here to help. In addition, I support interracial couples in navigating challenges in communication and bridging the gap between each of your experiences.

Healing looks different for all of us. As we navigate different seasons, relationships, and themes in life, it can be helpful to have a space that is yours. You are the expert of your experience, and I believe in healing practices that emphasize collaboration and connection. I show up with a relational approach, ready to meet you where you are and how you want to support growth and exploration. I value social justice, supporting a good fit between therapist and client, and flexibility. My practice integrates the honoring of your cultural values, intersecting identities and meaningful relationships that inform who we are.

As a therapist, I value and create a safe, nurturing, and empathic environment for individuals, couples, and families to explore underlying issues to relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and addictions. I am trained & certified in EMDR, which helps a person to quickly move through recent and past trauma and successfully overcome symptoms related to PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). We'll work together to help you find a healthy balance between body, mind, and emotions that allow for success in relationships and work, self-empowerment, and to live a life full of hope, meaning, and purpose.

I am passionate about my work and have over 20 years of experience helping my clients build the skills they need to successfully navigate the stressors in their lives. My practice focuses on adults who are dealing with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship problems and difficult life transitions. I bring a warm and collaborative approach to therapy that utilizes a number of evidence based treatments including CBT, Mindfulness and Hypnosis. I believe in weaving a tapestry of wellness that bridges mind and body to help you reach your highest potential.

I am an advocate for the soul’s desire for expansion and connection with others. I work in the service of the psyche to bring unconscious material to the conscious to facilitate sustainable change, transformation, and growth. I welcome you as you are, whether you are suffering from a dependency, such as problematic substance use, or a mental health condition, like trauma-related difficulties. I incorporate both the Twelve Step and harm reduction methods in my practice. Since I honor and see the value in both modalities, I will work collaboratively with you to determine which approach would best serve your path towards wholeness.

I work with individuals dealing with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, identity issues, parenting and more. In psychotherapy, support, guidance and self-reflection can help to alleviate many symptoms that have been problematic for years. Although it can be difficult beginning the process of therapy, the results can be profound and can lead to meaningful discovery and transformation.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training in Clinical Art Therapy. I strive to create a safe space for my patients, a space where both verbal and nonverbal communication can be expressed. The art in therapy serves to reveal unconscious material that may otherwise remain unknown, and it helps deepen the therapeutic process. You do not need any artistic skills to participate in art psychotherapy. My mission is to provide my full attention and expertise so that my patients feel seen and heard, which I believe paves the path toward growth, change, self awareness and healing.

I recognize and maximize the individual’s strengths, also help them to use their environmental support in their healing process. I believe there is no “one size fits all” type of therapy, I fit my style of therapy according to the need of my patients by using integrative approaches when it is suitable for my clients. I passionately follow cutting edge research in the field of neuroscience and take a lot of advantage of their finding in my practice. I have a broad range of experience in working with adolescents, adults and geriatric with the a very diverse background.

Welcome. Whatever you might be going through or wondering about, it is worthy of attention and care. I see therapy as a non-shaming, collaborative process that invites you to come home to yourself. I work relationally, meaning our relationship is a central part of the work. I value candid communication as I believe it allows us to explore the your experiences with genuine trust and depth. I aim to help clients heal from developmental trauma, disrupt unwanted patterns, and live more authentically and joyfully.

I have experience working with individuals of various cultural backgrounds, which has provided me with the experience in helping with a diverse area of mental health difficulties from Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Sleep Disorders, Panic Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder, (veteran, infidelity, domestic violence, physical, emotional and sexual abuse), family and couple therapy . I help my clients decrease their depressive and anxious symptoms, identify their positive thoughts, decrease worries, feel relaxed, happy, sleep well, and develop good relationship with others.

I support busy couples, parents, and adults who feel stuck in the daily grind as they face stressor after stressor. If you face anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or burnout, I'm confident you can feel calm, connected, and content again! We can better understand what keeps you from feeling fulfilled through a holistic, strengths-based approach and by becoming curious about your underlying emotions, behavior patterns, and lingering pain. I'll empower you with proven techniques to become less reactive and more resilient in the face of distress so you can work towards experiencing a new-found connection with yourself and others.

Sometimes life events throw us into a tailspin & other times it may seem like nothing at all has occurred but life isn't what it should be. Regardless of how you got there, therapy can be a safe place to figure things out, get unstuck, & move forward towards a better life. I specialize in working with adults and adolescents on the everyday problems that get in the way of really living life.

I'm a licensed clinical psychologist who places greatest value in establishing an empathic, warm, & respectful environment (while modeling firm, healthy boundaries) for clients & their families. Over the last 7 years I've treated adults, children, teens, couples, families, & groups in a private practice setting. My strength-based, collaborative approach drawing on numerous techniques (CBT, DBT, Fam Systems, etc.) helps clients get the most from therapy & allows tailoring our work to your needs. When beneficial and appropriate, I work to foster a "team approach," encouraging good communication w/other members of a client's daily life (i.e. other practitioners/physicians, family, teachers, etc.).
