Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Camarillo, CA

You can function well and be successful and sometimes you can even do it all with a smile on your face. Yet underneath it all, you may feel stuck under the crushing weight of trauma and stress. It can be difficult for others to understand because of how well you present yourself despite your suffering. Know that you are not alone. Just because you are doing great, doesn’t mean you will always feel great. Sometimes that light at the end of the tunnel can seem far off. But I am here to tell you that it’s much closer than you think. I would be honored to walk alongside you and help you reach that light while honing your inner strength.

Each person has unique strengths, powerful potential, and an innate ability to heal and thrive. Yet at times worry, sadness, or traumatic past experiences can move us off track. No matter the challenges you face, I believe in you and provide tools to help you increase resilience, discover your strengths, get back on track, and connect to your success.

I believe that living your life authentically is a core of life satisfaction. Sometimes our suffering, loss, or worry makes us avoid living in a truly authentic way. These experiences can lead to post traumatic stress, depression, and/or anxiety. I care about who you are intrinsically, and will work with you to process those painful experiences, cope with anxiety, and reach a point where life feels manageable again. I won't push people to relive bad experiences, but I will work to establish a safe space to share and explore your needs at your own pace.

Welcome! I am dedicated to empowering you by first and foremost showing you unconditional support. Once this relationship of trust is formed, we can work toward healing old wounds and discovering your inherent self-worth. I enjoy working with adults throughout the life cycle and I have a passion for working with couples. My goal is to help you identify and remove obstacles so you can successfully move through life’s many transitions. Therapy can be difficult at times as we will explore the issues that are preventing you from living life to its full potential.

"Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness." ~Desmond Tutu. We all have the capacity within us to effect positive change in our lives, but sometimes we may need additional guidance and support in order to get through some of life's greater challenges. I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 18 years of experience in helping people find their own inner light amidst the darkness of depression, trauma , anxiety, and loss. I utilize a holistic approach, which draws upon the unique strengths of each individual as key to the healing process.

It is so exhausting living inside a traumatized body and mind. Anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere; thoughts, feelings, and the overwhelm of re-experiencing events. Feelings of unsafety or a constant need to be hyperaware. Insomnia, changes in appetite make matters worse because the body and mind don't get the needed fuel and rest leading to cycles of collapse. The anxiety and collapse cycle can cause us to feel disconnected from ourselves, loved ones and the world. We can lose trust in our own judgment and ability to heal. My approach is informed by a holistic integration of practices to help reconnect mind, body and soul.

As a Marriage and Family Therapist I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome obstacles and heal themselves. I aim to create a nonjudgemental, nurturing environment for every individual I help. I have a special interest in helping individuals who are experiencing general anxiety, social anxiety, and panic attacks. I have a strong desire in helping individuals who have experienced trauma with trauma based therapy techniques.I have a strong passion to help individuals recognize and develop their gifts as well as develop strategies to improve their relationships.

Over the years working in a variety of settings with many types of people I have found my niche is working with people who have lasting effects from childhood trauma , addictions and compulsive behaviors, and difficulties in relationships. Clients tell me that my ability to stay consistent, calm, and grounded helps them slow down so they can connect to their body - feel their emotions - and experience themselves more whole and alive. Since 2004 I have worked with people with problematic sexual behavior and their loved ones as a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT) using trauma therapies and Pat Carnes Task Centered Approach.

Everyone is different, and therefore, requires a therapist who is tailored to their individual needs. I am dedicated in helping you through challenges you may be experiencing, whether this is something new for you, or has been attached to you for some time. My down to earth personality will help you feel comfortable and generate a dialogue that will bring you through life's difficulties. As a licensed therapist, I will aid in identifying challenges, and provide feedback to work towards positive change, thus enabling you to find inner strength and peace in your life.

Welcome, and here’s a bit about my practice! I am client-centered in training so therapy is about you and your goals, not mine. I strive to be honest, to “hold up a mirror" to help people get more clear on who they are and what they truly value. I have found that most benefit specifically from this pairing of therapeutic challenge and caring support. My passion is working with people who process differently, might identify as neurodivergent. This includes medical terms like ADHD, ASD, personality disorders, substance abuse, eating disorders, trauma , self-injury, bipolar disorders, etc. The goal is self-acceptance and empowerment!
