Therapists in Calabasas, CA

As a therapist, I value and create a safe, nurturing, and empathic environment for individuals, couples, and families to explore underlying issues to relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and addictions. I am trained & certified in EMDR, which helps a person to quickly move through recent and past trauma and successfully overcome symptoms related to PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). We'll work together to help you find a healthy balance between body, mind, and emotions that allow for success in relationships and work, self-empowerment, and to live a life full of hope, meaning, and purpose.

Nowadays many people experience high levels of stress due to uncertainty and the demands of life. Whether you are an adult or young person, you may feel overwhelmed, anxious, isolated, stuck, confused. Maybe you're dealing with a major life transition, past trauma, loss/grief, have conflict in your relationships, or are struggling at work or school. Perhaps you're at a crossroads and don't know which way to turn. If my profile connects with you, please reach out. Change is possible and help is here. You are taking an important step in making time for you or your loved one's well-being.

Are you constantly walking on eggshells in your relationship? Have you tried to communicate your concerns but it seems to end in an argument? It can feel exhausting to repeat a negative communication cycle where the problem isn't resolved and you feel emotional connection and intimacy are blocked. There is hope, I work with individuals and couples to explore their relationship patterns and transform their connection to each other. In relationships we often find a mirror for our personal growth and development. Adolescent struggles, family conflict and children who experience learning challenges are other areas of focus in my work.

For me, the connection between client and therapist, as well as creating emotionally safety, are two critical ingredients in a successful therapy experience. We will collaborate to identify the specific areas about which you want assistance; such as, relationship challenges, every -day stressors, trauma and grief therapy, and mood regulation skills — to reduce anxiety and depression. Oftentimes we struggle with an inaccurate narrative, filled with shame and self-critical thoughts. Despite feeling stuck in negative patterns, we can rewrite that script and develop greater resilience.

I help adults and kids facing crises, crossroads, painful life changes, relationship problems, trauma, depression, anxiety, and loss. I am trained in depth psychology and mindfulness meditation and combine these points of view for an open, grounded therapy approach that supports deep and lasting inner change.

What if you could stop all self- destructive habits and feel energized and excited by your life? Many of my clients are just like you; talented, ambitious and unique, but are unsatisfied with an area of life. If you are ready, I can help you get unstuck and make changes based on proven therapeutic techniques. If you're struggling to take care of yourself physically and emotionally, I will work with you to help you find balance, prioritize your health and manage your anxiety and depression. My approach is based on helping you get clarity, increasing awareness of your thoughts, and giving you healthy ways of managing your stress.

As a clinical psychologist working with adolescents, adults and couples, my goal is to help people struggling with life's challenges and difficulties. I will help you gain insight into short and long-term issues and provide you with valuable tools and techniques to provide relief from symptoms and/or situations that are negatively impacting your life. This results in a better sense of self and well-being and more fulfilling relationships. I treat a wide array of psychological problems such as anxiety and depression and specialize in treating those suffering with chronic pain.

A therapist's main role is to earn your trust and develop a good rapport so that you will feel safe and comfortable to share about yourself. Receiving validation for your thoughts and feelings regarding your experience helps you to begin the healing process. You can begin to handle toxic situations/relationships and learn to set boundaries with others. Counseling encourages you to take care of "you" and teaches you how to improve your self-esteem. You learn to regulate and tolerate emotions causing anxiety & depression. You can begin to replace harmful habits with new healthier behaviors. I can see anyone in the state of CA online

Additionally, are you struggling with grief, chronic illness, ADHD, relationship challenges, or life transitions?

Do you feel out of alignment with your authentic self or disconnected from your partner? I help you develop self-awareness and a new relationship with your thoughts and emotions to increase conscious choices, purpose, and relational connections. In marriage and couples counseling, I help you move from negative, hurtful and lonely dynamics to internal safety and a deeper emotional connection through Attachment-based Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I support you in creating new stories that demonstrate your genuine loving connection, opening you up to feel more peace, flow, and sweetness in your relationship.

I work with individuals, couples, and families experiencing emotional and relational issues, including separation and divorce, codependency, addiction, panic, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief & loss, and women's health issues.

Getting pregnant and starting a family isn’t as easy as you had hoped. You and your partner may be faced with infertility, pregnancy loss and the difficult choices involved in assisted reproductive therapies. You don’t know if anyone really understands what you’re experiencing—grief, financial strain, anxiety and hopelessness—which can make you feel so isolated. The uncertainty and stress may be taking a toll on your relationships, with your partner or others. Or you had a traumatic birth experience or have postpartum mood issues that aren't what you pictured. The emotional rollercoaster is exhausting, and you need more support.

I am passionate about helping people discover their unlimited potential and become the best version of themselves.

As the Clinical Director of a group practice and sex therapist, I want my patients to feel safe; trust opens the door to healing. I have successfully treated: infidelity, sexual abuse, pelvic pain, sexual compulsions, and erectile struggles. As Rumi said, "The wound is the place the Light enters you." Stress and unfinished emotional work can make us feel stuck or lead to destructive relationship patterns, and sexual acting out. My office is a shame free zone where we can unpack together a course best suited for your individual healing. Sex is a complex as each of us are as individuals. Shame can be in your past; a new life awaits!

Whether you feel stuck in your relationship/s, experiencing stress and anxiety, feeling sad, struggling with your partner and/or parenting raising a child with ADHD, we can work together and identify the source of what brought you in to therapy, identify your goals, and explore best possible solutions that will help you feel successful. I creatively integrate a relational model and scientifically proven cognitive behavior techniques which will allow clients gain insight and acquire tools for a positive change in their lives. Together we can find your true growth potential so you can lead a fulfilling life that is worth celebrating.

The goal to good therapy work is in creating a safe therapeutic relationship of deep listening and empathy. Empathy is a strange and powerful thing. There is no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It's simply deep listening, holding space, withholding judgement, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of, "You are not not alone." Take some time to heal. Give me a call and let's begin to re-write your story.
