Spirituality Therapists in Westlake Village, CA

Therapy is learning to use yourself as source for truth. I believe it is our birthright to live an authentic and fulfilling life. I hold the perception that we are all creative beings who are artists of our own lives. I believe that every individual has a unique blueprint and a unique way of living. We can create the life we desire when we paint with the colors of our unlimited potential and authentic expression. When we paint with the colors that ignite our truest essence, we become radiant and we attract what is in highest alignment with us. It is in this impactful space where we can find tremendous healing, growth and elevation.

There are lots of young adults tired of struggling with feelings associated around anxiety, so I offer talk therapy to help you find positive ways to reduce those negative emotions. I have helped hundreds of young adults through the therapeutic process to identify the root of their dis-ease by processing those experiences and challenges that you face, so you can live a life filled with peace, calm, wholeness and hope. I also offer Christian Counseling for couples who are struggling in their marriages due to the state of our nation.

I believe that whatever the reason you are seeking therapy, successful transformation requires a strong foundation of trust and openness between you and your therapist. With the genuine love and respect I have for all people, I establish this type of foundation, providing the warm & accepting environment needed to create a meaningful therapeutic experience... Together, we can uncover habitual self-defeating behaviors and attitudes that are keeping you stuck in a world where happiness & hopefulness have disappeared. With commitment to treatment and a desire to change, the happiness you thought was gone forever can resurface, & you will be able to find peace & contentment once again.

As a parent/caregiver, a certain level of stress is normal, however when your stress level becomes unmanageable, it is time to seek professional support. I help infants and their parents; individuals and their families repair the effects of trauma and stress in their lives. I believe the earlier we address emotional, developmental, relational, social and individual (behavior) functioning, the better we can assist the family or individual to make life-long changes.

Many of us don’t realize how events from our childhood affect the quality of our lives. You wake up most days feeling worthless, angry, fearful, anxious, insecure, and sad. These feelings negatively affect your behavior … you are unmotivated, impulsive, reactive, and take too many risks. These behaviors are negatively affecting every aspect of your life. Bills are piling up, you go from one job to the next, one relationship to the next, and may even be abusing drugs and alcohol.

I am passionate about helping my clients achieve their goals, whether it is to save their marriage; free them from destructive relationships; grow insight into their life's meaning, purpose and life's work; or find joy and happiness in a well developed relationship with God and others.

Let's face it...life happens! We try our best to make the environment around us as comfortable as possible for ourselves, and many times we succeed. Then, there are those times when we just feel stuck and frustrated, perhaps even discouraged. Often, if we stay in those 'stuck' places for too long, we end up feeling depressed, anxious, stressed, angry, insecure, vulnerable, unmotivated, or just plain moody. It almost feels like there's some hidden knowledge that could unlock that 'stuck' feeling and let us get back to, or begin, feeling motivated and confident about the direction of our lives.

I would like to briefly highlight a few experiences and specialties. 1st:MARRIAGE & FAMILY: I have worked successfully with hundreds of couples and families to bring love and harmony back into their relationships. 2nd: ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, & TRAUMAS of all types: molestation, fear of flying, public speaking, driving, performance, and more. For well over a decade I've specialized in the therapies of EMDR & TFT; studied personally with Roger Callahan, PhD., and Francis Shapiro, Ph.D.,the creators of TFT and EMDR. This work is highly effective and rapid - often ending years/decades of suffering.

Have you been feeling a bit disconnected lately? Is the stress of life or your relationship been draining you? Do you feel like you have to sacrifice parts of yourself to stay in something that is not good for you? If this sounds like you, I would love to connect for a free complimentary 20-minute consultation to discuss how I can help. My therapeutic approach focuses on the importance of relationships, including the one with yourself. During our time together you will begin to naturally translate skills learned in therapy into your everyday life so that you can have more satisfying connections with people who matters most to you.

Through hypnotherapy or Reiki you can find self improvement. Stress relief, weight loss, fears/phobias and letting go of grief are some of the issues I help clients with. I also work in conjunction with doctors to help with medical issues such as pain relief, dentist care, etc. Hypnosis helps you access the larger part of your mind (the subconscious) responsible for automatic behavior. Through suggestions you can achieve transformation by letting go of limiting beliefs. Some clients prefer Japanese Reiki energy sessions which help balance the body mentally, physically and emotionally.

I specialize in working with clients who want to resolve emotional, relational, or other phase of life changes. The way I do this is sharing therapeutic practices that serve to overcome emotional distress which, in turn, leads to unhealthy behaviors that interfere with current life goals and values. As we work together in a safe, non judgmental therapeutic relationship, negative thoughts and behaviors can be changed and replaced allowing clients to free themselves from discouragement, harmful attachments, fearful thoughts, excessive worry or feeling like they are losing control of their emotions and their lives.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed often? Do you constantly feel on edge, like you have little or no control over your emotions? Maybe you aren't sure what you feel or how to move forward. Whatever it is that you are going through, therapy can provide a safe, contained, space for you to process your inner world, gain clarity and learn new ways of approaching challenges in your life.

Life can be unpredictable and feel out of our control. The day-to-day stress, exhaustion, and relationship difficulties can be overwhelming and hold us back without us even realizing it. Our therapeutic collaboration will help you learn how to react, cope, and move forward, no matter what the circumstance! Every person is different and deserves to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their potential, and their personal desires. My eclectic approach combines psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT skill techniques with an individualized approach for each client.

Are you like me and have found when I seek to change anything in my life it is the most exciting, terrifying, rewarding, difficult and life altering experience? Deepak Chopra once said, “All great changes are preceded by chaos.” I have found this sentiment to be true in my personal life. Making the decision to change is a difficult choice, but I believe, the true path to healing and joy. In my career I have the pleasure of getting to know many different people from different walks of life and individuals in different phases. I have found the desire to better oneself to be the most amazing and rewarding work I could ever ask for.

My role as a therapist is not about helping others. It is about giving guidance and focusing on self-empowerment to my clients so they can have the tools to assist themselves. Prior to private practice, I worked at treatment facilities for both substance abuse and eating disorders, worked with victims of crimes (domestic violence and sexual abuse), and a suicide hotline.

Living with anxiety, depression and or chronic disease can feel overwhelming, lonely and unpredictable. This can be an extremely challenging and stressful time. I’ll compassionately support you as you develop positive coping skills, gain perspective, engage in healthier connections and promote balance. Thus, taking you down a path to create the best version of yourself.
