About Me
I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist based in Westlake Village, California, working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, and major life transitions.
My work is centered on helping clients understand the patterns that shape how they think, feel, and relate. Many of these patterns are rooted in earlier experiences, family dynamics, or environments where they had to adapt in order to cope. Over the past few years, I have worked extensively in addiction treatment, supporting individuals in understanding the role substances and coping behaviors have played and developing more sustainable ways of navigating their lives.
My approach is trauma informed and insight driven. I incorporate inner child work, parts based exploration, and emotional regulation tools to help clients make sense of their internal experiences while building a greater sense of stability and control. Therapy is collaborative and focused on creating meaningful, lasting change, not just short term relief.
I began my clinical work in a community based setting providing therapy to adolescents, individuals, and couples, where I developed a strong foundation in working with anxiety, depression, and complex family dynamics. That experience continues to inform my work today, while my practice has evolved to focus more deeply on trauma, addiction, and identity.
Treatment Interventions
In my work with adults, I focus on helping clients understand and shift the underlying patterns that drive anxiety, depression, addiction, and relational challenges.
Many of these patterns are rooted in earlier experiences, trauma, or environments where clients had to adapt in order to cope. My approach is collaborative, insight driven, and grounded in trauma informed care. I incorporate inner child work, parts based exploration, and emotional regulation tools to help clients make sense of their internal experiences while building a greater sense of stability and control.
Rather than focusing only on symptom relief, we work to understand what is beneath the surface. This includes identifying longstanding patterns, processing past experiences, and creating more adaptive ways of relating to yourself and others.
I also integrate practical strategies to support day to day functioning, while keeping the focus on meaningful, lasting change. The goal is to develop a deeper understanding of yourself and move forward with greater clarity, intention, and confidence.
