Who I Am
Hello and welcome to my website.
I have a psychotherapy private practice serving patients in the Conejo Valley, Agoura and Calabasas and surrounding areas.
Together with my personal and professional life partner, Dr. David Howard (now retired), I founded the Counseling Center of Thousand Oaks, where we treated individuals, couples and families for over 30 years.
Today my office in Westlake Village and mobile and virtual office allows me to offer services to people who are local and home-bound by necessity or prefer the benefits of home visits when appropriate.
I look forward to an opportunity to make direct contact with you in order to address your needs.
Whether self-referred, referred by a friend or colleague, or by a physician or other health professional, I will assess and address your needs with you confidentially and collaboratively, working along with you to help resolve your issues and meet your goals.
Depression & Anxiety
Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common and uncomfortable emotions that we can experience at some point in our lives. Through counseling and treatment, we are able to help you recover motivation, perspective, and joy that you once had in your life.
Trauma & PTSD
Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing.
Relationships
Relationship counseling can be beneficial to couples who are looking to strengthen their emotional connection, in all stages of their relationship. Therapy sessions are held with both couples and is a supportive place to discuss issues and solutions to better strengthen your relationship.
