Women’s Therapy

Somewhere along the way, you may have stopped recognizing yourself. Between the demands of work, parenting, relationships, caregiving, and the endless responsibilities of everyday life, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are outside of the roles you fill.

You may feel emotionally exhausted, disconnected, overwhelmed, or as though you’re constantly pouring into everyone else while running on empty. I offer women’s therapy for identity, burnout, anxiety, depression, and life transitions as a licensed clinical psychologist. I am also Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH-C), and that training informs how I understand the seasons that shape many women’s lives—even when the reason you are coming in is not a new baby.

I work with clients in Thousand Oaks, Westlake Village, Calabasas, and Hidden Hills, elsewhere in the Conejo Valley, and throughout California through secure telehealth.

Identity, burnout, and the roles you carry

Therapy offers a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and explore what you need—not just what everyone else needs from you. Together, we’ll identify the sources of your burnout, establish healthier boundaries, rediscover the parts of yourself that have been pushed aside, and create a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with who you truly are.

Although maternal mental health is my specialty, I also enjoy working with adolescents, college students, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, identity development, relationship challenges, and major life transitions.

Life transitions

Life is full of seasons of change, and even positive transitions can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re becoming a parent, returning to work, navigating an empty nest, ending a relationship, changing careers, relocating, or simply finding yourself in a new chapter of life, transitions often bring uncertainty, grief, and questions about who you are and where you’re headed.

You don’t have to navigate these changes alone. Therapy provides a supportive space to process the emotions that come with life’s transitions, gain clarity about what matters most to you, and build the confidence to move forward with intention. Together, we’ll help you adapt to change, reconnect with your strengths, and create a life that feels authentic, meaningful, and aligned with the person you’re becoming.

If your current season is more specifically about pregnancy or the first year after birth, you may prefer to start with perinatal psychology or postpartum therapy. Related pages include birth trauma, infertility, pregnancy loss, and NICU parent support.

Women’s therapy in Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and beyond

Clients in Calabasas often look for a women’s therapist who can work with more than one chapter of life—not only postpartum recovery. Hidden Hills clients sometimes want the same specialty care with extra privacy, which telehealth can offer from home.

I also work with women in Thousand Oaks and Westlake Village. In-person sessions are available in Ventura County, and secure telehealth is available anywhere in California.

Frequently asked questions

Is this only for new mothers?

No. Many of my clients are navigating motherhood, but women’s therapy is also for adolescents, college students, and adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, identity questions, relationships, burnout, or a major life change.

What if I am not in crisis and just feel stuck?

You do not have to wait until everything falls apart. Feeling unlike yourself, running on empty, or wanting a more honest look at your life are all sound reasons to begin.

How long does this kind of therapy take?

It depends on your goals. Some people come in for a focused season; others stay longer to work on deeper patterns. I generally encourage clients to think in terms of several months if they want change that lasts beyond immediate relief. We will revisit the plan together as we go. More detail is on the FAQ page.
