Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Tarzana, CA
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I specialize in anxiety, mood disorders, and life transitions. Many of my clients have faced long-term challenges before seeking therapy, while others are returning to continue their prior therapeutic work and progress. I work closely with each client to identify meaningful, values-based goals that enhance well-being and resilience, addressing symptoms that may impede a fulfilling life. I aim to empower clients to overcome unhelpful patterns and embrace a values-driven life by increasing awareness and fostering acceptance and self-compassion.

I help individuals of all ages who are experiencing anxiety, depression, difficulty managing their anger, relationship concerns, ADHD, difficulty processing past trauma, as well as problems with sleep, body image, self-esteem, acculturation, and organizational difficulties. I am bilingual in Spanish and English.

In many situations, family members or individuals become concerned about a loved one's or their own development or mental health. My practice, Achieving Milestones & Progress (A.M.P.) Autism, helps families or individuals to understand and improve their loved one's or their own developmental or psychiatric needs through comprehensive evaluations and/or treatments. In doing so, it is hoped that individuals of all ages and functioning levels can reach their full potentials and continue to make progress and grow throughout the lifespan. Families will also be better equipped with the knowledge and tools necessary to facilitate that process.

As we all continue to navigate life's transitions and changes, we eventually find ourselves needing guidance and support along the way. Whether you or someone you know is currently thriving or struggling in life, deciding to seek therapy can often be a helpful, rewarding, and life-changing experience. Finding and choosing a therapist, however, could be challenging and overwhelming. Not only must practical matters be considered, such as fees and scheduling, so must the therapist's style, approach, and qualifications. In other words, it has to be a "good fit" and it must "feel right."

You have to feel better to get better. That may seem obvious, but it really isn't. When I begin to work with a new patient, I have two immediate goals: To get to know this person so we can determine if we're a good match; and if we are, to use my years of experience and skills to target current areas of damage and hurt. People come to therapy in pain — something or many things in their lives aren't working. Our job is to take a breath, appreciate your unique situation, understand when and how current problem(s) became unmanageable or toxic, and then find ways to feel better, more hopeful and clear about how to proceed back to life.

The work promotes healthy outlooks on the environment and healthy perspective of oneself. All relationships are addressed, including those with significant others, social environment, work/career/productivity, and oneself. All changes occur through experiencing oneself and the environment in healthy ways.
