Adults Therapists in Northridge, CA

My background includes working with individuals who needed support when faced with depression, anxiety, dual diagnosis, trauma, addictive behaviors, codependency, domestic violence, grief & loss, life transitions, and interpersonal relationship issues. In addition to my being a clinical Psychotherapist, I am providing Life Coaching support.

The Healing Place is intended to help clients achieve their fullest potential in their relationship to self and others.

As a clinical social worker and life coach, I meet my clients where they are, and we work together to identify triggers, false narratives, and limiting beliefs that can hold you back and leave you feeling stuck.

I work with people who process life's challenges differently learn differently and think differently. I will help you discover what works best for you to do better in school/college, work; life in general. Together we will uncover your how you heal best and your strengths. We will figure out how you learn or perform best. We will also work on your weaknesses (memory, attention, focus, anxiety, coping skills, etc.). Contact me if you feel like you could be achieving more in life, but something is holding you back, you feel like you are stuck or if your child/teen struggles in life and school with with everyday tasks and demands.

Skilled counseling for first responders & therapists. I help the helpers, like you. Whether you sit with clients all day or are helping people in medical emergencies, your work is hard to leave at work. First responders: your jobs are so high-pressure that most people can’t imagine what you see and do in a day. The shifts are long & hard, your sleep is out of whack, and your spouse complains that you’re more distant and moody all the time. You haven’t felt like yourself in a while, and “sucking it up” is sucking the life out of you. You miss that easygoing person you used to be...and you want to feel in control of your life again.

It is important to take the negative and positive experiences you lived thru and use them to build a stronger, healthier and more resilient you.

As a previously practicing educational psychologist in an alternative school setting, I often encountered students who moved through the public school systems without the support they needed to learn basic foundational skills. Creating a lack of understanding of how they learn; causing low self-esteem and low academic and social functioning. Additionally, these academic difficulties often bring about behavior challenges in school and in the home setting, as students feel incapable of learning to their full potential. These students often require assessment to further determine appropriate intervention for academic success.
