Our therapists offer grief & loss counseling in Thousand Oaks, CA

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4 years of experience helping children, teens, adults, and families find healthy ways to cope, communicate, and thrive. I work with those navigating stress, anxiety, family transitions, cultural identity concerns, adjustment, depression, or relationship struggles. Many of my clients seek to manage overwhelming emotions, heal from past experiences, and build confidence. As a Christian and a minority, I bring a perspective grounded in faith, resilience, and cultural understanding, creating an affirming space for clients who value the integration of their beliefs in the healing process.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Widener University. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each client’s needs. I draw from evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and strength-based practices, while incorporating creative tools like play therapy and expressive activities. 

I know that seeking support takes courage, and you don’t have to walk this path on your own. As a Christian, I believe in the power of hope, healing, and renewal, and I strive to create a space where faith and therapy can work hand in hand. If you’re ready to take the next step, it would be my honor to walk with you on this journey.

I spent many years working in the entertainment industry before returning to school to pursue my passion for helping others and creating a safe, supportive space where people can feel heard, understood, and accepted. I am currently an ACSW working toward licensure, with training in trauma-informed care, substance abuse, and Motivational Interviewing. I work with a wide range of clients, particularly individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and self-esteem challenges, and many are seeking support in understanding themselves more deeply, improving coping skills, building healthier relationships, and feeling more grounded in their daily lives. 

My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and collaborative. I utilize Motivational Interviewing and person-centered techniques to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and feel more empowered in their lives. I specialize in working with trauma, anxiety, and emotional challenges while creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for healing and growth. 

Healing and growth can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, supported, and accepted for who they are. If you are ready to begin your journey toward healing, self-understanding, and personal growth, I would be honored to support you along the way.

When not working directly with clients, I engage in community outreach, mentorship, and education, sharing my knowledge to inspire others and promote mental wellness. My unwavering dedication reflects a simple but powerful mission: to help individuals "like you" thrive and live with dignity, hope, and resilience. I invite you to make an appointment today.
