You're sitting in your car in the parking lot at work, trying to hold it together. A moment ago, you were in the office, going about your business, doing fine. Then the panic hit. A momentary flash of traumatic memory, and you're right back where you were. Your heart pounds furiously, perspiration pours from you, your throat constricts and chest tightens as you struggle to breathe. At least you were able to excuse yourself before anyone noticed your distress. So now you're sitting here, hiding in a parked car, wondering if this is just how your life will be from now on. Will I ever be free of my painful past? It feels hopeless.

I do not believe in a one size fits all approach. Each person is unique and may seek therapy for his or her own individual needs and goals. My approach is collaborative, compassionate and interactive. I have a broad range of training and experience and treat struggles with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, traumatic experiences, substance abuse, stress management and marriage and family concerns. I feel privileged to journey with clients as they learn more about themselves and forge a path that brings about a healthier and more fulfilling way of life.

My goal as a psychotherapist is to provide you with a genuine, warm, caring experience where your thoughts and feelings can be held and mended over time. Sharing the negatives of one's life and self can be such a debilitating experience. Whether you just need a listening ear or a more directive approach, I am honored to be a witness and participant in whatever modality you feel works for you. Working with adults and children over the years has changed my belief of pain and trauma. If you are ready to take that leap and trust in me, I would be honored to accompany your healing journey.

I approach each client as a unique individual. Diagnoses suggest empirically validated treatments, but each individual is unique. There is always room for personal growth and creating balance in our lives. I am kind, gentle and honest. I have been practicing in Thousand Oaks, CA for over 15 years. I run a free weekly support group for pregnancy and infant loss sponsored by Hospice of the Conejo. Other support groups I have run are Bereavement Groups for Children and the support group for those who lost their loved ones on the Metrolink train crash.

My therapeutic methodologies are primarily evidence-based practices such as EMDR, Mindfulness, CBT, and DBR. Deep Brain Orienting (DBR) is not yet celebrated as evidence-based, but present research and results are directing it. I help adult individuals who have experienced PTSD, childhood and adult traumas, rape, depression, anxiety, dissociative episodes, sexual addictions, eating disorders, pain management, depersonalization, and derealization. The treatment is structured to help you heal and integrate your past experiences, returning you to wholeness and healing. Please note: I am out of network for TriCare.
