Family Therapy in Encino, CA

Welcome! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist (LMFT# 125267). The focus of my practice is working with individuals, couples and families who are seeking growth, a deeper sense of purpose, who want to improve their overall quality of life and enhance and transform their relationships. I believe that therapy can be a wonderful tool to promote this self-exploration, healing and growth and I hope to help you in this process. My style is open, direct and at times, eclectic. I provide a warm, safe environment to discuss concerns and challenges. I work with clients to together build customizable goals and an actionable plan.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or stressed out? Are you often trying to please or take care of others but have little energy left for yourself? I can help you identify and become more aware of your emotions and needs, set boundaries with family and friends, and feel more confident in yourself. When you work with me, you’re getting someone who unconditionally supports you, guides you, and believes in you. I believe that everyone is capable of healing and growing, and sometimes we just need support to get to where we want to go. If you are ready to make positive changes in your life, I am here to help.

I am passionate about providing a safe and warm environment where my clients are free to explore and grow. I strongly believe that the collaborative nature of therapy can help one to see things anew and bring about the change you desire. With an integrative approach and my background in family systems and cognitive behavioral therapy, we will work together to uncover what stands in the way of your growth and develop the tools and insights that will move you towards a life filled with more self-acceptance, joy, and fulfillment. 


Healing is a transformative process; a journey we embark on to reclaim peace and power within ourselves. It requires a safe, non-judgmental space to authentically explore our darkest truths and discover all that is truly possible for us. Over the last ten years I've had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life, helping them navigate the pitfalls of the past while finding renewed hope for the future. With warmth, compassion, and a relatable sense of humor, my hope is to connect with those who are ready to initiate change and begin anew.

I treat a wide range of mental health concerns, including trauma/PTSD, anxiety, stress, mood disorders, depression, life transition, adolescent and childhood acting out behaviors, LGBTQ+ally. I also have extensive training as a family consultant working with children diagnosed with autism spectrum.

Hi, I’m an Associate Marital & Family Counselor located in Los Angeles, California.

I'm here for you. I am well aware it is not easy to reach out for professional support. Much of successful therapy is about the connection between you and the therapist you choose. Empathy and curiosity will be key components in our work. In our work you will gain more insight about yourself, find reasons to challenges you go through, and ways to overcoming them and achieving your goals. I work with adults and children, in individual, couple and family settings. You can view my specialties on this profile an my website. In addition, I supervise doctoral level interns who can support if there is a need for a sliding scale.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker having earned my Master of Social Work Degree from University of Southern California and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology from California State University Northridge. Psychotherapy is both a helping relationship and a process of change, which overcomes problems and increases happiness. I provide psychotherapy to adolescents and adults with concerns related to depression, anxiety, adjustments/life transitions, relational problems, school/work difficulties, women’s issues, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, parenting difficulties, and family conflict.

Clients that typically find it rewarding to work with me are people who find themselves tired of trying to "fit" themselves into small spaces that do not truly honor the complexity of who they are spiritually, culturally, or with their sexuality. They want to start living more fully and authentically, and want to free themselves of old relationships and limiting beliefs that keep them stuck in old cycles of habit, obligation, and resentment. They make small changes and build insight over time so they can live more fully, authentically, and intentionally as their embodied selves.

Hi! My name is Rose and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. I have been working with children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced or are currently experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders and behavioral issues. I believe we all deserve a chance to be the best version of ourselves. Therapy can help you do just that.

An act of transformation begins with the acknowledgement that you have begun to "outgrow" your current self and present circumstances. Change and transition can be daunting. But the transformation to your best self is profound, and typically life altering. Whether the transition you are facing is a shift in relationship (divorce, loss of a friend/ family member, new parenting, or "empty nest" parenting), a job/career change, college entry, or simply growing up from an adolescent to an adult, I am here to encourage and support, as you navigate your challenges.

I am passionate about people. It's what drew me to the field of sexuality & relationships. My goal is to help find your authentic voice in your relationships with yourself and others. As a compassionate and attuned therapist and sex educator, I enjoy working with couples and individuals who are exploring the challenges of desire differences, sexual and gender identity issues, relationship struggles, parenting, panic, anxiety and early attachment experiences, as well as those seeking existential meaning in life and love. I am extremely comfortable working with LGBTQI clients, sex workers, & those in kink & non-monogamous communities.

Are you longing for a deeper connection with your partner? Are repetitive arguments and built-up resentments keeping you from the intimacy, peace, and enjoyment you once shared? You are not alone. Despite popular misconceptions, conflict is an inevitable and necessary part of a committed relationship. Without it, the love between two separate individuals could not evolve beyond fantasy and fixation. How couples work with conflict determines the success and longevity of their relationship.

Whether you feel stuck in your relationship/s, experiencing stress and anxiety, feeling sad, struggling with parenting/ a spouse, or raising a child with ADHD, we can work together and identify the source of what brought you in to therapy, identify your goals, and explore best possible solutions that will help you feel successful. I creatively integrate a relational model and scientifically proven cognitive behavior techniques which will allow clients gain insight and acquire tools for a positive change in their lives. Together we can find your true growth potential so you can lead a fulfilling life that is worth celebrating.

In therapy you can start to understand your struggles, find your strengths and experience a world that is unique to you. Therapy could be the most significant step you have ever taken. Together we might explore how your past relationships and your relationships with others came to be, how to integrate the conflict and tension that have become a challenge in your life, how to develop new skills to manage the issues you are presently facing.
