About
As a mental health nurse practitioner I understand that every person is unique in their own way. I strive to combine advanced clinical expertise with deep compassion for individuals navigating the challenges of mental health.
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 2 years of experience. My background blends nursing and mental health care, giving me a strong foundation to support individuals facing diverse challenges. Over the course of my career, I have worked in outpatient and community settings, helping clients navigate conditions such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. I bring compassion, expertise, and a client-centered focus to every session, ensuring care is tailored to the unique needs of each individual.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, where I received specialized training in psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. I integrate medication management with supportive therapy, drawing on evidence-based approaches to create treatment plans that address both immediate concerns and long-term wellness goals.
I believe every person deserves individualized care. I take time to understand my clients’ stories, strengths, and goals so their treatment feels personal and effective. My mission is to empower individuals to move forward with hope and confidence, knowing they are supported every step of the way.

Anxiety therapy helps people better understand and manage their anxiety. Anxiety therapists at Thriveworks in Thousand Oaks, CA can develop a treatment plan that will help you better manage your day-to-day anxiety or your anxiety disorder.
Anxiety therapy involves talking to a therapist about symptoms, potential causes, and more. Thriveworks Thousand Oaks therapists will then work with you to determine where your anxiety might stem from and teach you effective coping mechanisms.
One of the best ways to deal with anxiety is to learn about your own anxiety: your symptoms, what triggers it, and what coping mechanisms have been effective in the past. When you learn what your anxiety is tied to, it can help you be mindful of what’s really happening as well as prevent and mitigate symptoms by processing and working through the issue in therapy. Other strategies that have been shown to help manage anxiety are meditation, challenging anxious thoughts, exercising, and journaling.
Common symptoms of anxiety include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be incredibly effective in treating anxiety and anxiety disorders. Other effective techniques include exposure therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and EMDR therapy.
Anxiety therapy is conducted both in person and online, depending on the individual’s preferences and their therapist’s availability. We suggest choosing the option that best suits your needs.
On average, people can tend to attend 15 to 20 session of anxiety therapy (five or more months). However, this number is heavily dependent on the type of anxiety that’s being treated and its severity, with many choosing to attend anxiety therapy for a longer period of time to ensure its effectiveness long-term.
Yes, it is worth going to therapy for anxiety. If you are struggling with regular anxious thoughts and feelings that are affecting your day-to-day life or you suspect that you have an anxiety disorder, you should seek expert anxiety help.
Anxiety disorders are experienced by millions of people and are some of the most common mental health issues. However, many people do not seek professional help because they think they should just be able to “get over” their feelings on their own. There is often a negative stigma associated with reaching out for mental health support but there is no shame in getting help when you need it.
