Our therapists offer cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Thousand Oaks, CA

I spent many years working in the entertainment industry before returning to school to pursue my passion for helping others and creating a safe, supportive space where people can feel heard, understood, and accepted. I am currently an ACSW working toward licensure, with training in trauma-informed care, substance abuse, and Motivational Interviewing. I work with a wide range of clients, particularly individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges, and many are seeking support in understanding themselves more deeply, improving coping skills, building healthier relationships, and feeling more grounded in their daily lives. 

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. I utilize Motivational Interviewing and person-centered techniques to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and feel more empowered in their lives. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and emotional challenges while creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. 

Healing and growth can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and accepted for who they are. If you are ready to begin your journey toward healing, self-understanding, and personal growth, I would be honored to support you along the way.

I am an associate clinical social worker (ACSW) with 21 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADD/ADHD, and life transitions. I also support individuals seeking healthier coping strategies and greater emotional balance as they move through challenging seasons of life.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of California at Los Angeles, with concentrations in gerontology and health. My clinical approach integrates dialectical behavior therapy and psychodynamic therapy, with a focus on setting realistic, attainable goals that support long-term growth and resilience.

When life feels overwhelming or difficult to manage, therapy can offer clarity, support, and direction. I provide a thoughtful, collaborative space where you can explore challenges, strengthen coping skills, and work toward meaningful change. I invite you to schedule a session when you feel ready to take the next step.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 12 years of experience. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, grief, behavioral challenges, family conflict, and life transitions. I focus on understanding how social and emotional needs are shaped by environmental influences, genetics, and social interactions. My experience includes ABA therapy for children on the autism spectrum, community mental health with families, and adult private practice. I support clients in functioning at home, school, and work while navigating life’s challenges with confidence.

I earned my master’s degree in social work from California State University, Northridge. I am also certified in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and managing and adapting practice, structured evidence-based models used to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, and disruptive behaviors.

Since no one method works for everyone, we will explore your goals, understand the barriers you may have faced in the past, and develop a personalized plan that supports meaningful progress. Therapy can be a place where things begin to make sense, and where you can gain the insight and practical tools needed to move forward with clarity and confidence.
