Couples Counseling Therapists in Simi Valley, CA

Maybe you’ve been asking yourself, “Am I broken?” “What’s wrong with me?” You’re stuck between unbearable emotions and trying to maintain control…But it’s not working. You're likely having overpowering emotions of intense anxiety, depression, or rage. Holding on to trauma is crippling. When left unattended it can start tearing away at your physical, emotional, relational, and spiritual life. Are you or your spouse experiencing these feelings based on current or past trauma from childhood, adolescence, or adulthood? I invite you to a safe space where you can feel at ease to begin looking at where these difficulties began.

I have been working in the Mental Health field for about 15 years where I gained valuable experience working in various settings, including clinics, schools, and private practices. My approach to therapy is client-centered, meaning that I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their unique goals and needs. I believe that each person has their own journey, and my role as a therapist is to help them navigate it. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to express themselves freely and work towards healing and growth.

Anxiety from the day-to-day life stressors of balancing work, school, family, and social responsibilities can be overwhelming.
