Family therapy and counseling in California

I am a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in psychiatry, providing both therapy and medication management. My background includes working with trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, and serious mental illness, including psychosis, schizophrenia, schizoaffective, and bipolar disorders. In therapy, I focus on healthcare professionals, law enforcement, and first responders. My work centers on helping people move toward post-traumatic growth—not just surviving.

My clients should know that I truly care about their well-being and take the time to listen. I want them to feel comfortable, respected, and never rushed. I believe in providing care that is compassionate, thorough, and personalized to their needs. I also value honesty, trust, and clear communication, so clients feel informed and supported every step of the way.

I am a LCSW and AMFT working toward dual licensure in California. I hold two Master’s degrees in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and Social Work from the University of Southern California, and I am a proud member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology.

I belive in full rspect - am non-judgemental, expierenced and wish to support you in becoming the best person you were meant to be. My approach is to help ou learn from looking at what works for you as you walk your path toward YOUR goal. I am warm, grounded, and honest.

I'm a therapist offering in-person sessions in the Thousand Oaks area of Southern California, and telehealth to folks throughout California. I decided to become a therapist after many years of working in corporate America, and I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology and LMFT license.

I am a passionate clinical therapist who loves working with children, women, couples and families going through challenging times. Are you and your your child having trouble communicating? Are you and your spouse having trouble communicating? Do you see them going through a hard time, long to help but don't know how? Do you suffer from Bipolar Disorder? I am here for you. Do you feel undone by anxiety or depression and don't know how to "shake it off"?

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience in trauma-informed care, crisis intervention, and long-term psychotherapy. I work primarily with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, identity concerns, and the lasting impact of trauma.

My professional background includes service in military and veteran-support settings, as well as work in community mental health, medical and hospital-based environments, and outpatient therapy. This breadth of experience allows me to support clients across a wide range of life circumstances—from acute stress and major transitions to deeper, long-term personal growth.

My practice is grounded in a collaborative, nonjudgmental approach that integrates evidence-based and relational therapies. I believe therapy works best when clients feel supported, understood, and appropriately challenged, with the goal of not just symptom relief, but meaningful, lasting change in how clients relate to themselves and others.

Every person deserves high-quality healthcare tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. As a clinical therapist, I am dedicated to delivering comprehensive and compassionate counseling that promotes the emotional, developmental, and physical well-being of all people. In my practice, I prioritize building safe relationships and fostering open communication, trust, and collaboration. I provide a full range of clinical counseling services for depression, anxiety, trauma, domestic violence, relational distress, grief/loss, and low self-esteem. Whether you’re experiencing distress, trauma, behavioral issues, or complex emotions, I am here to provide expert guidance and support.
