Therapists in Westlake Village, CA
At A Place to Turn, I work with adults across all life stages who are navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, or major life transitions. Many find themselves prioritizing others while neglecting their own needs. From the outside, they may appear high-functioning and put together, but internally feel overwhelmed or not where they want to be in their lives or relationships.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling with unhealthy patterns in their life which are blocking them from living a life of joy and contentment. These patterns may be from past events which continue to cycle throughout your life or they may be from current stressors which have created emotional issues such as sadness, anxiety, depression or anger. I work to create a safe space for you to explore your emotional experienes and thought patterns and release these dysfunctional patterns which are not working for you. Then we together can work on ways to create new patterns for successful living.

You and your partner sit silently on the sofa. The TV is on, & you're both looking at your phones. Though in the same room, you might as well be a world apart. You're feeling neglected, unappreciated, & lonely. There's little affection between you these days. You try to focus on all the positives in your life, but your unhappiness is becoming the elephant in the room - harder and harder to ignore. You long to feel desired, appreciated, & a priority in your partner's life. You're afraid to talk to your partner about your true feelings as conversations are often misunderstood or full of conflict. You don't know where to turn.

You are accomplished, maybe a perfectionist; the tightness in your chest and pain in your throat visits you often and you are good at pushing it down most of the time. Out of nowhere you get triggered and fear hits, your heart pounds. You freeze, lash out, runaway emotionally or physically. You experienced a trauma when you were assaulted, received a diagnosis, got fired from your job, betrayed by your partner or had your house destroyed by fire, or you have developmental trauma because you grew up in a chaotic, abusive or critical family and you never learned to express emotions or understand that you have rights and needs.
