My clients are often deeply curious individuals looking to cultivate a sense of fulfillment and self-understanding. While many have histories of complex trauma and/or addiction, others have struggles more rooted in the present moment, such as challenges with relationships or executive functioning. As a therapist, my role is to cultivate a container of trust that allows your innate inner wisdom to emerge. We work together to compassionately witness the patterns keeping you locked in cycles of dysfunction. From there, we experiment with strategies to help you feel more embodied and capable of initiating change in your life.

Welcome. Many people wonder: "Will my stress and anxiety ever go away?" "Why do relationships cause me so much pain?" "Will I ever be happy?" "Why am I so hard on myself or others?" Unfortunately many individuals needlessly struggle with these questions for years without relief. Change is possible. I have helped many individuals break free from deeply ingrained destructive patterns to create loving and fulfilling lives. Please contact me to learn more.

Psychologist, PhD

Santa Barbara, CA 93111
I provide neurodiverse affirming autism evaluations and consultations for all ages and identities. I am interested in understanding the internal, hidden and genuine experience of neurodivergent individuals during the diagnostic process. Many individuals have been misdiagnosed or dismissed by providers. I am different. I work to understand masking and camouflaging of autistic traits. Autism is a difference in brain wiring and accurate diagnosis can be powerful in validating and affirming one's lived experience. A diagnostic process done in a neurodiverse affirming manner can be therapeutic.

I tend to be most helpful to intense, high-functioning adults struggling with mood or anxiety symptoms or significant life transitions who are striving toward personal achievement, balance between work and relationships, and a sense of well-being. I may draw on various approaches according to the problem you are dealing with and my experience with what may benefit you. These include cognitive, psychodynamic, interpersonal, and psychoeducational approaches. I may propose different ways of looking at or handling situations. I may suggest in-between session reading or homework assignments.

Life can be especially difficult for our young people today. It is my goal to assist all my clients starting at age 3 years, through adults to learn how to make healthy and positive decisions in their lives and to empower them to have a good, healthy self image and to successfully move into their future. I am not rooted in one particular type of therapy. This is because the same thing does not work on everyone. I believe in a wrap around style of therapy. It is not just the child, it is its environment which could include, living environment, school, friend groups and more.

For many people it is hard to ask for help when it comes to sorting out the challenges of life. Making the decision to seek assistance from a therapist is courageous and can be rewarded with a safe, warm and supportive therapy environment. I work with people who often feel they are in crisis, experience anxiety or depression, have a low sense of self and struggle with the relationships in their lives but are motivated to gain insight and skills that are necessary to make lasting positive changes.

Hi! I'm Jenn. I specialize in Maternal Mental Health and in helping women navigate their 20's/30's. Many of my clients feel burdened by the expectations of others, overwhelmed by school/work/life balance or unsatisfied in relationships. Some wonder about the right time to start a family, others have experienced a challenging and emotional road trying to start their family. Mothers I work with tell me they feel they've lost themselves in caring for their growing family, they've lost their connection with those close to them, and often times their symptoms of Perinatal Depression or Anxiety are sucking the joy out of motherhood.
