Therapists in Encino, CA

Sup? Our first understanding of ourselves comes from the first people we know. From there, the other relationships we participate in tend to reflect those aspects of ourselves previously learned. I specialize in successfully treating the presenting symptoms of childhood trauma. Including and often self-limiting: substance abuse, social and intrapersonal anxieties, clinical, situational and abandonment depression, and the often self-sabotaging and socially unacceptable yet still ubiquitous unresolved rage.

I believe every human has unique struggles and deserves therapy that is tailored to best help them. I work with individuals, couples, and families to treat a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, and addiction. Since I have a license in Marriage and Family Therapy, I have a perspective that allows me to help patients see their struggles in a way they may not have considered.

You are an individual needing help with addiction, addressing trauma, sexual orientation and gender identity, managing and regulating emotions, building life skills, creating meaningful interpersonal relationships, family conflict, career building, and finding meaning and purpose in your life.

Chaos and heartbreak in relationships bring people to me. They are angry and confused as they face both a hidden crisis and the loss of support or connection. Some do not have a choice – there are lawyers or social workers, and orders and mandates to address. Many are filled with shame and self-doubt, so we begin with what I know even before we meet – “your feelings are real” and “you are not losing it – you have been overwhelmed.” You are struggling to accept what you cannot change, but we may help you find the power to seize control of what you can. Whether “you” is an individual or a relationship that seems hopelessly broken.

Clients that typically find it rewarding to work with me are people who find themselves tired of trying to "fit" themselves into small spaces that do not truly honor the complexity of who they are spiritually, culturally, or with their sexuality. They want to start living more fully and authentically, and want to free themselves of old relationships and limiting beliefs that keep them stuck in old cycles of habit, obligation, and resentment. They make small changes and build insight over time so they can live more fully, authentically, and intentionally as their embodied selves.

Hi and welcome to my profile, I am glad I popped up in your search. Traumatic experiences change your brain which affects how you feel, think and act. People report having brain fog, hypervigilance, numbness, nightmares and flashbacks; and are left with paralyzing depression and anxiety. EMDR might be right for you if you are experiencing social or generalized anxiety, depression, unhappiness at work, in your relationship or family of origin. The most important thing to know about trauma is that you can heal from it.

Things aren't right. You feel like something is off, but you can't put your finger on it. Maybe your friends and family don't understand, maybe you're so isolated that you feel like you don't have friends or family anymore. You can't concentrate because something- sadness, anxiety, a relationship, loss, a substance - keeps intruding into your thinking. And you may have tried everything you can think of, but this...mood, this feeling, this thing you do that no one can know about, you just can't get over it. You want to feel better, but nothing works. You're not alone. There is help for you.
