Therapists in Calabasas, CA

We are drawn to what is familiar. Most of us learned as children that we had to behave and think in certain ways to survive in our given environments. This knowledge became our childhood coping skills. We utilize these coping skills, which may no longer be effective in our adult relationships and may need to be reevaluated. In addition, we may find that we are depressed, anxious or repeatedly choosing the "wrong" partner, because the familiarity feels safe. I have an empathic understanding of these issues and will help you to explore and move forward so that you can enjoy more happiness in life, with loving, healthy relationships.

Psychotherapy is the science and art of helping people for whom the daily life challenges become particularly hard. Every individual has his own unique story and the meanings behind it and why they are seeking consultation. I challenge my clients about the the ability to examine the validity of their thoughts and what are they avoiding by continuing the current pattern of behavior while being respectful and non-blaming.

Welcome to my "family practice." Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable talking with is crucial to the success of your work with that therapist.

Together in this environment, we can work towards those goals we have set out, or simply take the opportunity to express feelings and thoughts in a safe, confidential environment.
