Find a Therapist in Van Nuys

I provide individual and relational counseling. My modality is CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy that focuses on improving your thoughts and behaviors which affect the way you feel) and solution focused. My approach to each client is tailored to his or her unique needs. In working with couples, I emphasize on solution- focused therapy. I use role play to pinpoint the pattern of the couple’s argument and I guide them to adapt a positive style of communication.

Do any of these sound like you? Stuck. Unable to let go of regrets. Highly critical of yourself. Feeling like you’re not enough. Feeling like you’re unlovable. Perfectionistic. Don’t know what you need. Single and longing to find a life partner. If so, you have come to the right place. As a therapist for the past 15 years, I have extensive experience empowering clients to:
