About
As someone who has walked alongside individuals, couples, and families through trauma, loss, and life transitions, I bring an empathetic and strengths-based approach that honors each person's unique story.
I am an Associate Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience supporting children, teens, adults, older adults, couples, and families through trauma, loss, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients strengthen resilience, restore connection, and achieve emotional well-being in a safe, compassionate space. Together, we'll identify strengths, build coping tools, and create positive change through collaboration and self-awareness.
I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Walden University. My approach is trauma-informed, empathic, and strengths-based. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and family systems techniques to support healing.
In our work together, you can expect warmth, authenticity, and respect. Whether you're navigating relationships, grief, or personal challenges, I'll walk alongside you to foster healing, clarity, and confidence. You deserve a space to feel heard, supported, and empowered toward lasting growth.

I use an integrative, evidence‑based, and holistic approach that combines psychotherapy with thoughtful medication management to support healing. Clients can expect compassionate, patient‑centered care tailored to concerns like depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, and substance use, helping them build resilience and achieve lasting growth.
I would be honored to support you on your path toward healing. You deserve care that feels safe, collaborative, and empowering, and I’m here to walk with you as you take the next steps. When you're ready, I welcome you to schedule an appointment and begin this journey toward well‑being together.

As an experienced mental health professional, I know every individual deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and respect. Healing begins when people feel seen and heard, and my mission is to create spaces where hope and resilience can flourish.
I am an associate clinical social worker with over 10 years of experience and a deep-rooted passion for mental health advocacy and community empowerment. My expertise spans talk therapy, medication management, behavioral interventions, and crisis support, enabling me to guide individuals and families through complex challenges with empathy and professionalism. I believe in the power of trusting relationships and work tirelessly to create safe spaces where clients feel heard, valued, and supported. I have served diverse populations, and I continue to build a reputation for delivering compassionate, respectful, client-centered care.
I received my Master of Social Work from the University of Arizona. I utilize approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, culturally sensitive therapy, and person-centered therapy in my practice based on client needs.
When not working directly with clients, I engage in community outreach, mentorship, and education, sharing my knowledge to inspire others and promote mental wellness. My unwavering dedication reflects a simple but powerful mission: to help individuals "like you" thrive and live with dignity, hope, and resilience. I invite you to make an appointment today.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Psychologists are mental health professionals that provide psychotherapy services and diagnoses for their clients. They have more research-focused training than most therapists, as they are more medically educated and receive a more general education about therapeutic approaches and theory.
Thriveworks psychologists in Thousand Oaks, CA provide standard psychotherapy services, tailoring treatment to each client and their unique concerns. However, they can also provide diagnoses to clients when appropriate, something that therapists and counselors cannot do. Finally, in some states in the U.S., they are allowed to prescribe medication.
Psychological treatment at Thriveworks Thousand Oaks is very individualized and specific to each client, which means that the duration of treatment is often varied depending on a client’s condition or disorder, the state of their symptoms, and their specific goals.
