Specializing in Loss, Life Transitions & Identity Shifts

Grief-Informed Therapy for Adults, Teens & Families in Westlake Village, CA

Loss is not always about death. It can be the loss of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, the loss of a dream, or the quiet grief that accompanies major life changes.

I specialize in supporting adults, teens, and families navigating loss in its many forms — including death-related grief, miscarriage or pregnancy loss, the ending of a relationship, career transitions, becoming a spouse or parent, empty nesting, and shifts in identity across different life stages.

Even positive changes can bring unexpected grief. You may find yourself questioning who you are, feeling disconnected from parts of your identity, or struggling to adjust to new roles and expectations. Together, we create space to process what has changed, what feels uncertain, and who you are becoming.

Because loss impacts relationships and family dynamics, my work is grounded in a family systems lens and trauma-informed care. I support adults who are grieving while helping their children cope, teens navigating identity shifts or the death of a loved one, and families adjusting to emotional and relational changes after significant transitions.

In addition to loss and transition work, I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, overwhelm, boundary-setting challenges, and identity exploration (including racial, cultural, and spiritual identity), along with first responders and families of first responders.

My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, feminist therapy, mindfulness practices, and nervous system regulation strategies to help you feel more grounded, supported, and emotionally steady.

If you’re looking for therapy in Westlake Village and want a clinician who understands the emotional complexity of loss, life transitions, and identity shifts, I invite you to schedule a complimentary 20-minute consultation. You don’t have to navigate this season alone.

In person and virtual sessions available.
