Female Therapists in Granada Hills, CA

"We all have our stuff." I heard a wise woman say this years ago. We might feel overwhelmed by all the expectations of life - of adulthood. We might be carrying the weight of something terrible that has happened in our lives. We might feel deeply alone - even when we are around other people. Maybe we feel out of control or lacking discipline, struggling to break habits that we know are bad for us. Whatever the case may be, you are not alone. Lots of people come to therapy. Lots of people feel much better after trying it.

Looking for someone to help you get relief from life's stressors? When you are feeling overwhelmed by day-to-day conflicts or long-term struggles that disrupt your sense of self-confidence or direction, you do not have to face these alone. Make the call and have a conversation about what you need and what is possible in your life. Finding a compassionate clinician who will help you process and cope with core issues that seep into your relationships and existence is the next step toward regaining your life balance.

As a Latina provider, I am mindful of how our culture and upbringing can impact our sense of self and how we handle challenges. I believe in being culturally mindful and also consider how physical, social and other factors impact our mental health. I am also open to discussing your spiritual journey if you would like. My clients usually appreciate a tailored approach that incorporates the most appropriate treatment for their specific situation. As professionals, we can also get very busy but with the availability of services via Telehealth, you can easily schedule this time for yourself and your growth. Hablo Espanol!!

You’ve done everything you know to do to help yourself and nothing is working anymore. You’re stuck in repeating patterns and feel like you’re not moving forward.

Are you feeling overwhelmed parenting your teen? Dreaming of that break-through conversation? The teen years are stormy and we often need support navigating the waters. I help teens and parents build healthy relationships, heal trauma, address negative family patterns, improve communication, and establish clear boundaries. The relationships and dynamics we create now with our kids, will inform the health of our relationships with them as they grow up and impact their relationships with future partners and friends. Your teen and your family deserve to have healthy relationships & mental wellness.

"You can't change what's going on around you, until you start changing what's going on within you." My theoretical approach is eclectic and blends various therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused and motivational interviewing. By focusing on the importance of the therapeutic relationship, I strive to provide a supportive, interactive environment in which growth and change can occur

We all know humans are not born with manuals, instead, we have to learn as we grow! Living should be easy, but it is inevitable that we will encounter instances in our lives when we feel stuck, confused, angry and sad. It is during this time we often seek professional help to find change, direction, awareness and support. Together, we can navigate through the current struggles, as well as, the good days to find coping skills and solutions that are useful to daily living.

I typically work with adults dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, stress management and life transitions. I am experienced in working with clients from diverse backgrounds and have a special interest in providing culturally competent therapy.

Skilled counseling for first responders & therapists. I help the helpers, like you. Whether you sit with clients all day or are helping people in medical emergencies, your work is hard to leave at work. First responders: your jobs are so high-pressure that most people can’t imagine what you see and do in a day. The shifts are long & hard, your sleep is out of whack, and your spouse complains that you’re more distant and moody all the time. You haven’t felt like yourself in a while, and “sucking it up” is sucking the life out of you. You miss that easygoing person you used to be...and you want to feel in control of your life again.

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed or frustrated and don't know why? Is worry keeping you up at night? Feeling so down it's difficult to follow through with plans?

Whether you are going through a transition in your life, struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma or substance abuse, or looking to improve relationships, I can help you. Together we will determine goals, enhance your strengths and explore areas you wish to improve.

If you’re feeling stuck in the same patterns of anxiety, hopelessness and frustration; you’re not alone! Or perhaps your relationship with your partner or children feels strained and joyless.
