Therapists in Woodland Hills, CA

I'm interested in working with people who are seeking to make a change in their lives, as well as those who wish to understand more about themselves and explore new habits for longevity and happiness. Wherever you're at and whatever you need to talk about, my goal is to create a safe, empathic and understanding environment to have those conversations. There may be a specific area of your life that you are concerned with; be it work, romance/friendship, parenting, creative endeavors, or all the above. Perhaps there is something in your life that you feel is holding you back, such as an addiction, or a toxic relationship.

Do you desire more empowerment and mastery over your life? Do you intuitively sense you are destined for more, but are plagued by fears and doubts? Are you committed to your growth, but feel stuck in low-moods or trauma spirals? In our work together, we will take an honest inventory of everything that is no longer serving you, such as, old, destructive patterns, false limiting beliefs, and intrusive negative self-talk that unconsciously runs on a loop. My intention is to empower you to make lasting changes and to ultimately help you see yourself through a more honest and loving lens.

Sullivan House is the solution to your housing needs. We offer group-home living, as well as partially supervised, independent apartment living services.

My approach is holistic, intuitive yet gently direct. I provide a safe, non- judgmental environment where my clients feel comfortable expressing themselves.

By incorporating holistic methods and mindfulness techniques in working with my clients I consider clients mental, spiritual and emotional health in the work we do together as I always work with my client as a “whole” being.

Therapy is about unraveling root causes of stressors, in order to process and redirect the mannerisms of rediscovering oneself. By gaining healthy therapeutic tools, coping skills and going through the steps of healthy processing individuals learn to live healthier and happier lives. As a psychotherapist I greatly enjoy working with all age ranges where I can incorporate my knowledge of CBT, DBT, PST and mindfulness. I recognize that no single therapeutic approach is inclusive of all clients. Thus, I put emphasis on the individual needs of each client and focus on uncovering the most appropriate therapeutic approaches for all.

Are you in crisis? Do you feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or sad? Is your teen or younger child having difficulties? Perhaps you have struggled with anxiety, fear, sadness, loneliness, and difficulties in relationship. My intent is to help you discover what you want to be different in your life and then find ways to make those changes. Often this means improving relationships -- learning about communication, finding better ways to deal with conflict, and becoming closer. Finding a safe and collaborative place to explore and address what is troubling you is the first step in healing.

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.

The current unprecedented state of our world has presented many challenges and taken a toll on mental health and wellness, triggering the body's stress response, de-activating the immune system, and putting our mind/body in survival mode. This has the propensity to escalate anxiety, depression, addiction, and disease and reactivates outdated coping skills and keeps our body in fight or flight. Let's work together to create a strong support system to manage and navigate the stress and uncertainty and minimize the toll on our mental health, physical health, and relationships, and empower ourselves for the future.

Hello and Welcome... Whether you are brand new to therapy or have had many years of experience in doing therapy, I can help. As a Solution Focused Therapist, my goal is to help you to uncover your true potential so that you can lead a life that is truly worth celebrating. Although we cannot change difficult situations in the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

At certain times in our lives, we are all presented with insurmountable challenges that can be extremely difficult to navigate. With the tools that we have been given, we all do our very best to find our way through the storm. When our tools are no longer useful in working to create the life we want, we can seek out help. With support, you can learn to accept your emotions and thrive amidst the challenges to create a life of meaning and value.

Are you concerned about your child's wellbeing? I specialize in working with children and I am passionate about my work with adolescents and young adults. Growing up is difficult enough; dealing with the intense pressure of school, family, friends and intimate relationships is often overwhelming. It is equally difficult establishing one's self and who you will be the remainder of your life. Homework, test anxiety, divorce, bullying and or peer pressure frequently overwhelm children and teens while major transitions --college, relationships and career-- leave us feeling inadequate.

It seems brave to me to make a decision to start therapy, to come and open up to a complete stranger. Whether coming to gain life skills as an individual or a couple; Or coming to therapy to process life events as a family or an individual, the one thing on my part most necessary is to listen without judgment or a personal agenda. Working collaboratively, creating a relationship based on trust and empathy is vital. I feel like it is my part to be professional, ethical, and supportive. I specialize in "interpersonal neurobiology" which is an interdisciplinary view of the mind and how it affects how we feel and behave.

We all reach emotional crossroads in our lives and often need guidance from a professional. I am warm and caring and provide a non-judgmental atmosphere while assertively providing feedback. I help families and couples resolve conflicts and teach the art of appreciation and gratitude. I utilize a variety of treatment approaches. Do you "feel lost in the world." Do you have a tendency to take out your frustrations with the ones you love the most?

I believe every human being has the right and the potential to enjoy the life they have been given; however, some encounter hardships that can shift one's perspectives and mood, making it difficult to access one's full potential. I enjoy working with individuals who are striving to identify with and reconnect to their purpose in life. With collaboration, I can help you move through depression, anxiety, trauma, and addictions.
