Therapists in West Hills, CA

I believe empathy, active listening, unconditional positive regard, and creating a nurturing and nonjudgmental space where my clients can feel heard and understood are instrumental in creating a therapeutic alliance. Once rapport is established, I aim for my clients to freely share their deepest thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities, fostering meaningful and positive progress toward their needs and goals without fear of judgment or rejection.

Chaos and heartbreak in relationships bring people to me. They are angry and confused as they face both a hidden crisis and the loss of support or connection. Some do not have a choice – there are lawyers or social workers, and orders and mandates to address. Many are filled with shame and self-doubt, so we begin with what I know even before we meet – “your feelings are real” and “you are not losing it – you have been overwhelmed.” You are struggling to accept what you cannot change, but we may help you find the power to seize control of what you can. Whether “you” is an individual or a relationship that seems hopelessly broken.

My approach is to empathize, affirm, and understand you as deeply as possible. This allows me to choose and customize specific treatment plans that will meet your unique needs. I approach therapy as collaboration with individual clients, couples, and families with the goal of empowerment to confront pain, anxiety, and depression, process trauma and grief, to repair and improve relationships, to develop self-awareness and facilitate personal discovery for achieving growth and desired change.
