About
I believe healing begins with feeling truly seen and heard, and as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I combine evidence-based care with genuine compassion to support each person’s unique journey toward mental wellness.
I'm a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based care. I have 6 years of experience in assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning across outpatient, community mental health, and telepsychiatry settings. I hold an MSN in psychiatric-mental health. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults navigating anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, and adjustment difficulties. Many clients seek relief from persistent symptoms and greater stability, while others want a safe space to explore their experiences and develop coping strategies.
My goal is to partner with each client to create a personalized treatment plan that may include psychotherapy, medication management, lifestyle interventions, and ongoing support. I believe in a collaborative, holistic approach that honors each person's unique story while empowering them to achieve their mental health goals and improve their quality of life.
I want you to know that your feelings matter—and I truly see where you're coming from. I understand how important it is to feel supported, and I'm here to help you take the next step with confidence. If you're ready, I'd love to connect so we can explore how we can work together to make things easier for you.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Thousand Oaks, CA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Thousand Oaks therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anxiety disorders are experienced by millions of people and are some of the most common mental health issues. However, many people do not seek professional help because they think they should just be able to “get over” their feelings on their own. There is often a negative stigma associated with reaching out for mental health support but there is no shame in getting help when you need it.

A licensed counselor or therapist at Thriveworks in Thousand Oaks, CA can help you get your life back on track.
