Multiracial Therapists in Encino, CA
I understand that it may feel overwhelming or challenging to reach out for support, or even trust that support can help. As a result, I strive to support individuals with compassion in the way that they need & at their pace. I've been in practice for 20+ years. As a trauma informed practitioner, my approach is collaborative, as well as evidence and resilience based. I aim to support the whole-person through education, insight, self awareness and empowerment. With the effort to meet the individual in the way they need, I utilize various approaches in therapy that often include somatic, neurobiological and psychodynamic frameworks.

As a therapist, I understand that working through emotions as an individual or in a relationship can be difficult. Whether I am working with an individual, couple, or family my job is to guide and support my clients and allow them to discover, excavate & process their feelings while dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, or adjusting to life's various issues. Self awareness is an incredible skill that I enjoy helping clients develop as they engage in the most important relationship - the one they have with themselves.

Many of the people I work with feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or disconnected from themselves after long periods of stress, trauma, loss, or significant life changes. They may be navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or family transitions, and often carry old beliefs shaped by early experiences or identity-based stress. These individuals are often reflective and sensitive, seeking clarity, steadiness, and a deeper sense of connection; not quick fixes, but support that feels thoughtful, respectful, and sustainable.

Has life begun to feel heavier than it once did? Maybe you've been holding yourself together for everyone else while quietly feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally drained. Perhaps you're grieving someone you love, navigating a relationship that's changed, adjusting to a new season of life, or carrying experiences that still affect you more than you'd like. I believe therapy is about more than talking through problems. It's about having the time and space to pause, untangle what's been weighing on you, and gently make sense of experiences that may have felt confusing, painful, or isolating.

Many of the people I work with carry the effects of childhood trauma into adulthood without fully realizing it. They know something feels difficult, but they can't always understand why. They may blame themselves for being "too sensitive," "too emotional," or "too much." The truth is that many of the ways we struggle today once helped us survive.
Early childhood trauma can shape how we relate to ourselves, our emotions, our bodies, and the people we love. What feels like anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, or emotional overwhelm may be connected to traumatic experiences.
