You feel unmotivated. You feel stuck. Your life feels like a lukewarm bath; not warm enough to get comfortable, not cold enough to make you want to get out. The monotony of your story feels alienating, and you can see it affecting your relationships, your job, and even how you view yourself. Within you is a desire to discover an authentic and passionate journey, one where you look back at the story of your life and say “That was my life, and it was an amazing one.” Now is the time to start that journey.

Hi there! I am so glad you're considering a path towards healing. Life can bring many unexpected moments, causing you to have a difficult time navigating through your stressors and worries by yourself. Maybe, you don't felt like you anymore, and it's creating a lonely battle. It may even be hard to remain strong and confident, or even feeling off for some time, and you're not really sure of how to work through it. The advice you’re receiving from others isn’t helpful as it once was. There are moments where, maybe, you’re being too hard on yourself, while wishing you could feel more confident, seen, and understood.

You feel an unexplained sense of hopelessness. You have had better days, but difficult emotions seem to be in control of you. You wonder why it's so difficult to be with your thoughts, why a stable connection with others feels so hard to establish, and why it feels so impossible to please everyone without compromising your own well-being. You want to know how to better relate to yourself and your loved ones. Is it even possible to be happy? Or is it impossible because something is wrong with me? These questions confront you so often, but you are struggling to find the answers.

You don't even recognize the person sleeping next to you. You feel so desperate and alone. All you want is to feel the way you felt on your wedding day. You want to know that you have a partner by your side that you can actually rely on. It feels like you are so far away from where you really want to be that you just don't know what to do next. You can't remember the last time you had a real kiss. Not one of those pecks on the lips but a real kiss. Sex and intimacy feels so distant from you. It's so hard to feel like wanting to touch him let alone have sex.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Simi Valley for over 25 years. I mostly work with children and adolescents struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, divorce, school-related difficulties and problematic behaviors. My belief is that the most essential factor when doing this type of work is to establish a sense of trust along with providing a therapeutic environment which is safe, secure, accepting and nonjudgmental. This conveys to the individual that they are respected for who they are which can lead to an increase in self-respect and respect for others.

It’s incredibly frustrating to know you, your child, or your family is on the wrong path but are unsure how to get on the right one. Even though you’re invested in bringing about real transformation in you or your family’s lives, you still can’t find a way to make the changes that are going to help you. We know you or your family can see things from a new perspective, learn to trust yourselves, and experience long-lasting change that each of you has control of.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
