Supervisor: Allie Levy-Akoka, LMFT #96670

I have a journey, just like everyone else. As someone who’s personally experienced recovery and growth, I believe deeply in the resilience of the human spirit. Integrating my trials, tribulations, and victories into my story meant looking deeply into the past, present, and future—as well as inward and in relationship with others. I’ve been fortunate to have incredible people in my life who acted beyond coaches and cheerleaders. They were mirrors, scalpels, and companions on dark paths toward healing. I’m grateful for those who didn’t simply prop me up, but helped me break down and rebuild in ways that deepened my emotional and intellectual complexity. Deep change is what drives me to serve my clients.

With years of experience working in dual diagnosis mental health treatment settings, I’ve been trained to meet the intensity and complexity of a wide range of circumstances. While some challenges have been intense, that intensity often reveals the potential for great reward. I help clients uncover their strengths, reframe past experiences, and create lasting change. Together, we’ll work to break free from unhealthy patterns, build resilience, and align your life with your values—turning challenges into opportunities for growth.

As a therapist with a culturally diverse background, I bring a wide lens to understanding identity, family, and belonging. I value humor, creativity, and authenticity—often weaving in art, music, and playful banter as tools for healing when appropriate. I believe therapy doesn’t have to be stiff or sterile—it can be vibrant, expressive, and human. I’m committed to creating a therapeutic space that is both deeply compassionate and grounded in real-life wisdom.

Whether you’re navigating life transitions, healing from trauma, or struggling in relationships, I offer support, guidance, and a safe space to grow. My approach is warm, direct, and personalized—centered around helping you move forward with clarity and confidence.

Based in Calabasas, CA, I provide in-person therapy throughout Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, and online sessions across California. Whether we meet in person or connect online, I’m honored to walk alongside you on your journey of self-discovery, healing, and transformation.
