Therapists in Woodland Hills, CA

Freaking Adulthood! No one prepares you for life in adulthood. For most adults, the common difficult areas are relationship issues, dealing with work conflict, self-esteem issues, insecurities, boundaries and so on. You show up every day and do your best however every now and then you may require extra help and support. Part of being an adult is recognizing when to ask for help and to know that you’re not alone. Being adult is not easy but as your therapist I will help you find more meaning in your life while reaching your goals both professionally and personally.

Struggling with our mental health can often leave us feeling alone and misunderstood by others in our lives. You do not need to face these challenges alone. Cultivating an authentic human connection and building a therapeutic relationship is fundamental in creating a safe and comfortable space for my clients to explore their issues, promoting growth and change in their lives. You deserve to feel heard, to learn more about yourself, make changes in your life, and grow.

Many times humans hear what is being said to them, but they seldom listen to the information. I take pride in my ability to both listen and hear what you share with me. I believe attuning with my clients is important and helps foster a healthy relationship in a safe space. It does not stop at words, I find that mindfulness connects your words to what your body is trying to communicate as well. Through my work with clients, I have seen clients grow, overcome challenges, and break through walls of anxiety, anger, resentment, and stagnation. 

Perhaps you are struggling. You feel down, lonely, unsatisfied, and the person you are doesn’t make you happy. Maybe you’re searching for more meaning, honesty, and truth in the way you live. Perhaps you're finding it hard to maintain healthy and satisfying relationships with the people around you. No matter what is going on, therapy with us will help you find ways to work through your problems together: to understand them deeply, to challenge them constructively, and to move forward peacefully.

The decision to seek therapy often happens because of a crisis or desire for change. My goal is to help you create and attain the life and relationships you want. Often times, we know what the problem is, but don’t have a clear picture of the solution. Together we will create that vision and develop strategies to attain your goals. We will work collaboratively to access strengths and create tools to overcome the obstacles in your way. I work from a solution focused perspective in an active and engaging manner.

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.

Asking for help can be difficult. Once a person or a family takes that step, I aim to provide a safe and collaborative space in which to explore their concerns and difficulties to find long-lasting relief. I appreciate how tough life can be. I help individuals of all ages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulty managing their anger, relationship concerns, ADHD, difficulty processing past trauma, as well as problems with sleep, body image, self-esteem, acculturation, and organizational difficulties. I am bilingual in Spanish and English.

I am currently accepting new clients for weekly appointments. I utilize a trauma-informed approach and mindfulness in my practice as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, and several other interventions to cope with a wide range of challenges including trauma, life stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, suicidal ideation, ADHD symptoms, career issues, etc. I approach therapy with compassion, understanding, empathy, and strength-based practices.

Every one of us yearns for something: more money, greater understanding, closer relationships, less arguments, more time to play, a great connection to their purpose. How come it seems like others have what you want? A fulfilling life takes dedication, motivation and inspiration and you don't have to do it alone.So, whether you are feeling lost, lonely, depressed, afraid, anxious, confused or straight out angry at how your life is, call me and lets see if we can begin turning your daily life into the BEST LIFE EVER!!!

When life feels overwhelming or unsettling, we often need someone who can consider our situation with more objectivity than we possess. I have been a psychologist for over 20 years and believe in the power of therapy to (1) help us navigate challenging times and (2) learn new strategies that help us reach our potential. I begin every first session with the same opening: "Tell me why you're here and how I could help." Then I ask the clients to tell me their stories. I love listening to people's stories because our stories remind us of where we have been and give us a context for the current and future chapters of our lives.

I am a clinical psychotherapist with a Jungian orientation. This allows for a depth psychology approach towards mental health. My intention in the therapeutic process is to accompany, bear witness, and assist in the discovery of an inner world so that a person may bring unconscious aspects of the Self to light. What brings you to therapy may look like anxiety or depression, but these symptoms open the door for greater healing. Utilizing traditional psychoanalysis, dream analysis, art therapy, mediating from powerlessness to creativity, from possession to liberation.

When we are feeling down and in need of support, we all deserve someone to talk to about our experiences. Sometimes it's not easy to communicate with those we are closest to about what we are feeling. I'm here to support individuals and families in processing their emotions and life experiences in a supportive and constructive environment. My goal when working with families is often to bridge the communication gap between adults and children. Some areas I specializes in are disruptive behaviors, depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment and communication challenges. Please reach out for a consultation if ever you need support.

The stress, anxiety, and stuckness are overwhelming at times. This isn’t where you thought you’d be at this point in life. Watching others who seem to have it together, and doing the comparison game isn’t helping. It’s scary, and seriously disappointing. How can you get unstuck when it’s so hard to trust yourself to make the right decisions?
