Therapists in Newbury Park, CA

Your child feels overwhelmed, worried, or is having a difficult time adjusting to change. Teachers may have noticed and approached you about it. Perhaps your child is falling behind either academically or having difficulty connecting with peers as a result. You may have also noticed behavioral changes and are concerned about how best to support your child. Or, maybe you yourself feel overwhelmed, worried, burned out, or are tired of going through the motions in life. Perhaps others have commented about your symptoms and you feel that your relationships are suffering because of the way you are feeling.

I provide a safe environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings so that together we can come up with the best treatment plan for you. With the right therapist I believe amazing growth can happen. My goal is to have you leave with enough tools and resources to use throughout all the difficult times in your life not just this one.

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with 15 yrs working with women, children and families. I work with new mothers or pregnant women who are struggling with changes in mood and functioning due to their changing bodies and hormones. I also work with school age children, young adults and women. I have a background in child development and enjoy working with little ones and their families to increase attachment, decrease behavioral issues and promote healthy development. I welcome parents to work with me around parenting concerns, life transitions, relationship difficulties and identity. Individual or family sessions available.

New parent? Struggling with the transition into motherhood and all the stresses that come with it that no one was able to fully warn you about? Motherhood can be the most incredible journey you go through, and also the one we are least prepared for. The exhaustion, unending "baby brain", loss of identity, overwhelming options on ways to parent, balancing the workload with a partner, and being pulled every which way with never enough support.

We live our lives in search of happiness, fulfillment, enrichment, and balance through our relationships, families, jobs and career. These areas can become demanding, stressful and even overwhelming.

This is a good time to consider seeking professional help. The journey of psychotherapy can be challenging, yet it is often healing and rewarding.

The path to living the life you want begins where courage and fear meet. When we are low in courage and high in fear we feel unsettled, busied, strained and eventually-void of hope. The thought that life will get better or that we will feel better becomes hijacked by the void. Our day to day begins to feel meaningless. This absence of meaning can be experienced as emptiness, sadness, loneliness, despair and misery. It can also be experienced as restlessness, irritability, avoidance, stomachaches, headaches and illness. These experiences drive our thoughts, beliefs, decisions and behaviors and can lead to mental and physical decline.
