A little about me. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist committed to help you achieve your personal best, whether it is to overcome a particular challenge, improve your relationships, or behavior or to make broad changes for a better life. I am an Adjunct Professor at the Graduate Psychology program at CSUN, passionately teaching future therapists Psychopharmacology, Clinical Fieldwork, and Diagnosis. I am also an AAMFT designated supervisor which provides guidance in my training of future MFTs. My practice is located in Woodland Hills, close to all locations in the valley and freeway close to the greater Los Angeles and Ventura areas.
People often wonder how therapy works and if therapy can help their current situation. The process of therapy is similar to learning to swim. You have to let go of one side of the swimming pool to get to the other, yet letting go is scary and unfamiliar. As a psychotherapist, I use my education, training experience and empathy to help you "stay afloat" through the scary and unfamiliar while you are trying to get to the other side.
My counseling experience background includes various settings such as crisis hotlines, trauma centers, not - for -profit agencies, and private practice. I am trained and certified in emotionally focused therapy for couples and families, attachment focused EMDR, family based treatment for eating disorders, anger management, and coaching for collaborative divorce. I have an attachment focused and relational approach with my clients which helps them build trust and safely reach their goals.
If you would like more information on how therapy can help your current situation or enhance the life you have, I invite you to email me at [email protected] to set up a complimentary phone consultation.
