THERAPY FOR INDIVIDUALS, COUPLES, & FAMILIES
ONLINE AND IN THOUSAND OAKS/WESTLAKE VILLAGE
With over 18 years of experience, I am a seasoned therapist dedicated to providing skilled and compassionate care to individuals, couples, and families. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, marital difficulties, or relationship issues, my sincere empathy and sharp intellect empower you to acquire skills that enhance your emotional well-being and fortify your relationships.
I specialize in tailoring each session to your unique needs, drawing from my extensive training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and the Gottman Method. As a Gottman Level 3 trained therapist, I bring advanced expertise in the renowned Gottman Method, a research-based approach developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. This method focuses on scientifically proven interventions and assessments to strengthen relationships and resolve conflicts.
Through the integration of these therapeutic modalities, I facilitate lasting changes that endure over time. Additionally, I lead a team of dedicated associates, ensuring that you have convenient access to high-quality support. My associates, under my guidance, are adept at providing assistance to further enhance your emotional health and foster growth in your relationships.
Your journey towards emotional well-being and relationship growth is of utmost importance to me, and I am committed to making resources accessible and effective.
