“Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day that says, 'I will try again tomorrow'.”

Welcome! Whatever brings you here today, you have taken a courageous step in seeking support and prioritizing your mental health and well-being.
Have you or a loved one been feeling down or anxious, struggling with a loss or major life transition, or coping with the effects of trauma? Do you have concerns about your relationship, parenting, or an obstacle your child or family is facing? When life presents us with challenges that are difficult to overcome on our own, the help of a trusted and qualified mental health professional can make all the difference. Whether you’re seeking therapy for yourself, couples counseling, or help for your child, teen, or family, I'm here to support you and guide you on your journey.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist serving the Conejo Valley. I received my PhD in Clinical Psychology from UCLA where I completed extensive training in psychological assessment and intervention at sites such as Harbor-UCLA Medical Center and UCLA TIES for Families with leading experts in mental health research, assessment, and intervention. In addition to my private practice, I have also had the privilege of serving local youth, adults, and families through work with community mental health centers such as Ventura County Behavioral Health, Casa Pacifica Centers for Children and Families, The Alzheimer's Association, and local K-12 schools.
Over the last fifteen years, I have worked with a diverse range of children, teens, and adults struggling with difficulties such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, parenting challenges, relationship problems, ADHD, Autism, and major life adjustments. I am committed to the health and well-being of my clients and to helping them navigate life’s ups and downs. Contact me for a free phone consultation or to schedule an intake session -- I would be honored to support you on your journey toward healing, self-discovery, and well-being!
THE THERAPEUTIC PROCESS
Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. Regardless of the specific clinical concerns we're working on, developing a safe and nurturing therapeutic relationship with my clients is a top priority. I accomplish this by creating a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and valued throughout our work together. Similarly, through client-therapist collaboration, I honor, respect, and incorporate clients’ unique backgrounds, values, goals, and life experiences into treatment.
These cornerstones of my therapeutic approach allow clients to build on their strengths; gain insight; develop self-understanding and self-compassion; deepen their connections with others and with themselves; and make changes that lead to transformative healing, meaningful growth, and lasting well-being.
