Therapists in Calabasas, CA

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with specialized training in Clinical Art Therapy. I strive to create a safe space for my patients, a space where both verbal and nonverbal communication can be expressed. The art in therapy serves to reveal unconscious material that may otherwise remain unknown, and it helps deepen the therapeutic process. You do not need any artistic skills to participate in art psychotherapy. My mission is to provide my full attention and expertise so that my patients feel seen and heard, which I believe paves the path toward growth, change, self awareness and healing.

I am a depth-trained and results-oriented psychotherapist. My goal is to help you gain self-awareness and teach psychological tools for personal growth and healing in and beyond therapy. If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, a difficult life transition, creative blocks, unhealthy behaviors that you can’t seem to change, or challenges regarding your neurodiversity or sexuality, I will help you use them as opportunities for positive and sustainable transformation. I provide online therapy to individuals, couples, and families using psychoanalytic, somatic, coaching, evidence-based, and psycho-spiritual approaches.

As a Jungian Analyst, I create a safe place for my clients to transform problems and discover their wholeness. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is founded upon deep listening and dialog. Whether the concerns are related to relationships, depression, anxiety, procrastination or chronic illness, we begin with understanding your current feelings and desired goal. Throughout these many years of practice, I have been honored to participate in my client's endeavor to achieve an authentic life.

Life has sure been tough the past few years. Are you working through a past or current trauma? How are you managing your stress? Sadness? Grief? Anxiety? Depression? DO you or a family member suffer from addiction? Perhaps you just need a jump start to get yourself moving again? You have already made the first step finding me right here on this site. Take the next brave one and reach out to me. Let’s have a conversation and discover ways that together we can create a happier and more joyful life for you.

As a child I was always very sensitive and curious about the world that surrounded me. It came natural to help people and I knew that I wanted to give back to the world at large. Just like you I suffered from some childhood wounds. My parents did the best they could with the tools they had. But due to their struggles I became a very codependent child wanting to save and fix my parents to simply gain the love I desired. Later on I would be able to understand this cycle and name some of the patterns I lived out. People pleasing, losing myself in toxic relationships and not fully loving that little girl inside of me.

I believe we all possess the strength to overcome life's challenges. Partnering with a caring professional can help light your path as you embrace hope, healing and happiness. As a partner in your journey we will create change that reignites your light from within. My focus is to help you grow and become aware of your inner strength.

Gaining the knowledge and skills that foster loving relationships is vital to your happiness. My goal is to help you create, build and nurture all of your relationships including and especially the one with yourself. Through one-on-one counseling, education, coaching and even art therapy, we can create a clear path to your greater well-being. Whether you want relationship relief, relationship repair or even relationship release, I provide a safe and supportive environment, and over 30 years of professional experience to help you resolve the things that matter most in your life.

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!

Creating a safe, caring, non-judgmental environment in which to engage in a deep, authentic healing process is my intention. Anxiety, depression, and other painful issues, often have their roots in developmental wounding and/or trauma. I help you get to the causes of your pain and patterns that no longer serve you. Mindfulness and somatic resourcing allow you to experience relief (and rewire your brain) while safely navigating and processing the past. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, PTSD, relationships, career, self-esteem, and auto-immune, pain and other somatic challenges. I offer individual, couples therapy, groups, workshops, and retreats.

I offer both In Person and Telehealth options. Pretty much everyone you have met in your life have experienced trauma or something scary/ traumatic. Trauma impacts our brain, body, and relationship. It impacts our daily routine. Do you ever feel sadness and wanting to isolate? Do you ever feel overwhelmed or anxious? Do you find yourself feeling agitated or easily annoyed with others? If you answer yes to any of these questions, I can help.

Are you looking for someone to assist you with your mental health journey? Are you a high-profile individual, or looking for an experienced safe and secure place to address your mental health issues? Are you in need of a sounding board? Do you long for a safe space to be able to unload some of your darkest moments, challenging experiences, and unmanageable behavior? Are you tired of doing things on your own? Can you use a listening ear or a shoulder outside of your family and friends? Sometimes we just need to get out of our own way and allow someone else to navigate life stressors. We are here to help, for all this and more!

Do you find yourself alone or struggling to feel comfortable in a current relationship? Is it difficult for you to balance being true to yourself with staying connected to others. Do unresolved experiences from the past and ways you’ve learned to behave/self-protect in relationships disrupt your present life. Are contextual factors influencing the choices you make, undermining your personal power. Are you stagnating in the safe and familiar, as opposed to moving onward toward change, growth, intimacy, and health. These are all great reasons to come explore with me in order to strengthen your relationship to yourself and others.
