Therapists in Canoga Park, CA

I am a PhD candidate with 10 years of clinical experience working with Queer and Indigenous clients in a variety of programmatic settings. I utilize a genuinely warm, humorous, and direct approach to gently challenge clients and invite them to step out of their current comfort zone and step into authentic living. I advocate for culturally conscious and meaningful practices and ways of being (e.g., language revitalization, basketweaving, ceremonial practices, song and dance, traditional tattooing and piercing, etc) as ways to actively address mental health concerns.

I help people find answers and grow. I have over 30 years of experience as a psychotherapist. I have taught graduate-level students, supervised masters and postgraduate students, and created counseling programs to support people to feel better, be happier, and live more fulfilling lives. I have worked with a wide range of people and issues successfully and I can communicate with people of all ages. I am non-judgmental, understanding, and easy to talk to. I am collaborative by nature and like to facilitate relationships mutual respect and sharing of ideas. I can help you find meaning and joy in your life.
