I am dedicated to helping adult individuals navigate their mental health journeys with compassion, expertise, and evidence-based tools.
I’m an EMDR Certified Therapist based in Westlake Village, CA. I work with individuals dealing with a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, co-occurring disorders, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties, family problems, and other complex emotional challenges.
With over a decade of experience across both private and public mental health sectors, my work is informed by a broad and holistic understanding of mental health care. My background includes crisis intervention, treatment planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration, which allows me to take a well-rounded approach to each session. I am deeply involved in the Southern California recovery community and have provided therapy sessions with individuals facing challenges such as depression, trauma, anxiety, and addiction.
Let’s work together to achieve greater peace, resilience, and fulfillment in your life.
I believe in empowering my clients to break free from the patterns and self-destructive behaviors that hold them back. My approach is focused on helping you reconnect with your highest, most authentic self by quieting the inner critic and finding lasting peace.
THERAPEUTIC APPROACH
Trust
Building a strong, trustworthy relationship with a professional therapist is essential. I work with integrity, fostering a safe, collaborative environment where clients can feel heard and valued. Through mutual respect and shared commitment, I empower clients to make meaningful progress in their journey.
Impact
Mental health is just as important as physical health, and I am passionate about breaking stigma that surrounds it. I create an open, supportive environment for those seeking help with depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD, and work to normalize evidence-based therapy approaches such as EMDR that have potential for real, impactful change.
Resolve
Healing is a journey that requires perseverance. I am committed to helping my clients overcome both external challenges and internal barriers with strength and resilience. I approach every treatment plan with care, precision, and a focus on long-term healing. Through ongoing collaboration, resource-sharing, and unwavering support, I help clients find the resolve they need to continue their path toward recovery.
