Are you struggling with your past? Are you feeling lost or unsure about where life is taking you? Are you finding it hard to stay motivated with everything happening in the world amidst nonstop news about war, the environment on high alert, and attacks on people’s bodily autonomy? You are not alone, and it is not uncommon to be this way when confronted with the limitations of our humanness. However, these circumstances are what allow us to grow and change. The potential of therapy is immense; it can bring about profound positive change and a renewed sense of connection, and you can develop the ability to see life differently.

Supporting children to develop awareness & thrive. I support children & their parents develop an understanding around what is creating and maintaining challenges; and, bring more regulation and less stress to everyday living. My work is influenced by current research on play therapy, neurobiology, attachment and the mind body connection. I am also a registered Yoga Teacher, and incorporate Eastern approaches into treatment such as yoga, meditation & sensory awareness practices.

I have three openings now for adults. Please reach out. I have been practicing psychotherapy since 1988 and I love my work. I work with adults who suffer with depression and anxiety, trauma and grief. I also have 25 years of experience helping people become free of eating disorders and body image problems. I love to work with adults in transition. I am practical, generous and warm in my style. I believe that our struggles can be used to shape us into wiser, more empathic, loving people. I never blame people for their suffering, I don't like theoretical models that do. I live in Santa Cruz and work entirely on Zoom.

I work with individuals in both brief and longer-term psychotherapy. I practice integrative therapy that is strongly grounded in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused approaches. I strive to help clients increase awareness of thoughts and feelings, gain a better understanding of how their past contributes to their development, and gain skills in coping with stress and changing behaviors. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process in which the client and therapist work together to develop goals and treatment plans.

Psychotherapy can be helpful addressing coping with loss, chronic stress from work in a demanding industry, or wanting to explore the relationship patterns in your life and how they have led you to where you are now. You may be ready to let go of old habits and patterns that hold you back from living a life filled with purpose and joy. I work collaboratively with clients to target underlying issues as well as the external behaviors that may be keeping oneself feel stuck.

Your relationships and work life have created a high-stress lifestyle, which has caused you anxiety. Overwhelm and stress seem to be daily experiences, but worse, you are unsupported by the people you need the most. These people, along with your everyday tasks keep draining your time and energy, so much so that there's nothing left for yourself. You wish you could be a priority or feel important too. It’s as if the weight of the world is on your shoulders with no one to help. You know that life isn't meant to be overwhelming, though it feels like there’s just no other way.

Trauma, whether big or small, leaves complex feelings of fear, confusion, worry, and grief both emotionally & physically, but my training and experience tells me that we are all remarkably resilient and have an inherent capacity to bounce back. I have a deep passion for helping people who have gone through traumatic events or big life-transitions who want to feel normal again. Managing the challenges associated with a traumatic event often requires the help of an expert in this field to navigate through the impact in a safe place.

I specialize in helping adults in their 30s and 40s who want to heal their childhood wounds, which are getting in the way of experiencing more secure attachments in their intimate relationships. Growing up witnessing dysfunctional interactions in our family of origin does not equip us with the best tools to have healthy relationships as adults. Relationship distress can be so overwhelming that it can drain our joy, creativity, work productivity, and even our health.
