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.

There are times when you feel as though you have tried everything and it's difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Going through that tunnel alone can be extremely scary and anxiety provoking. Facing those challenges may be painful and going though all the different emotions are overwhelming. Therapy can be a safe space for individuals to learn how to identify, process and heal from their past. It can be difficult to heal from the past without the proper tools, therefore prioritizing the importance of individualizing this journey to your specific needs is one of the most important aspects of starting therapy.

You no longer know who you are or what you want in life. You constantly feel as though something is missing, or you’re just going through the motions. You may be in a toxic relationship, romantic or otherwise. You may be stuck at a dead-end job, not know where to go career wise, or maybe you aren’t sure if school is right for you. You constantly are told what to do, who to be, and have difficulty speaking and choosing for yourself. Or perhaps you have to do everything. You have no support and feel as though you are juggling a million things with no help in sight. Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

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.

It is my passion and privilege to assist my clients in feeling alive, connected and at peace in their relationships and within themselves. Every day I hear clients say that our work has truly transformed their lives - that they are no longer triggered by old patterns, that their confidence and happiness is greater than they have ever experienced. Changes such as these are possible through a collaborative exploration of past and present issues in an atmosphere of safety, compassion and respect - respect for the individual and respect for the mind's ability to heal.

We all experience ups and downs. At times, life is full of joy and meaning, but it can also bring us to our knees, leaving us uncertain and without a clear way forward. You might be struggling with anxiety, depression, or feeling lost in your identity. Maybe on the surface, things seem fine, but deep down, something just feels off. You're not alone. Many people struggle to balance inner challenges with the demands of work, relationships, and daily life. I work with clients who want to explore their emotions, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and fulfilling.

Change and uncertainty are unavoidable parts of life whether initiated by choice or unforeseen circumstance. Change can come in the form of a life transition such as moving, a new job, grief and loss, or even a cancer diagnosis. This can be scary and destabilizing. I collaborate with individuals to develop grounding coping strategies, make meaning out of life's challenges, and identify opportunities for growth. My goal is for you to feel supported and seen in a compassionate, nonjudgmental space.
