Therapists in Chatsworth, CA

Sometimes life's challenges can be overwhelming to the point where we feel like we just can't cope anymore. Tensions mount until the smallest catalyst acts as a tipping point and we break down, shut down or lash out. Art therapy can provide a safe outlet to manage thoughts and emotions that threaten to overwhelm you. Creative self expression in a therapeutic environment with a trained and credentialed Art Therapist can help you explore your triggers and subsequent thoughts and emotions in a safe and healing space.

We seek help when our challenges outstrip our ability to cope. My role as a therapist is to guide, support, and facilitate exploring new tools that will improve the clients' functioning skills in society. My professional facilitation supports clients who feel that they are at a crossroad in their lives and recognize that they need to gain new tools and the empowerment necessary to make changes.

You are unique. Your history, journey, lifestyle and goals are yours alone. In order for change and transformation to occur, a method and program dedicated to your individual situation - designed to get results - is needed. As such, I've devised a therapy model that integrates many different approaches central to the mind, soul, consciousness and YOUR needs, the client. With my knowledge of how early emotional pain and trauma are linked to the formation of personality, mood and anxiety disorders, I create a therapy approach that is best suited to your needs, lifestyle, proclivities and ultimate goals.

My greatest reward as a therapist is helping clients explore ways to make changes in their lives that will allow them to look forward to the future with hope. I believe that we all need someone to talk with who will listen and accept us as we are, without judgment. I provide clients with a safe place to explore how to create the life they want. I hold a Master's in Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. I use a variety of approaches, depending on individual needs. I specialize in addictions, mood disorders, and career development issues.

Seeking relief from the challenges you face? Therapy offers a supportive place to explore life's difficulties and gain a fresh perspective. I will be honored to assist you in identifying relationship issues and creating a plan to change what you can.
