- I believe therapy is one of the greatest gifts that we can give to ourselves. It is an opportunity to explore and learn about the mysteries of our inner self. When I am working with a client both of us discover a vast new world that waits to unfold. I studied at Pacifica Graduate Institute, a graduate school dedicated to discovering the inner contents of the self and the secrets of the archetypes of our humanity. I believe in working with my clients face to face, together, by sharing a journey in order to learn about the hardships of today while gaining knowledge about past and present experiences. I believe in and encourage my client’s strength and ability to solve their own problems and become the healers of their own wounds. I work as a guide and as a fellow traveler in your journey toward self discovery. With every step we take toward discovery, I work hand in hand with my clients, letting them lead in finding the sources of their suffering and their capability to heal them. Treatment Modalities: Person Centered Therapy, Post Jungian, Family Systems, Trauma Theory, Sex Therapy, and working within the Feminine Principle.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Thousand Oaks
Searching for therapists in Thousand Oaks starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may want help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Thousand Oaks, local appointment options may vary by specialty, schedule, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. You can also filter by in-person availability, session time, therapeutic approach, and whether a therapist is accepting new patients. Before booking, read each profile for details on communication style, experience, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Thousand Oaks can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected payment before care begins. Headway helps you search therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, compare profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, so you can focus on finding the right fit and schedule directly when you’re ready.
