I have a curiosity in learning about people's stories and bring compassion to the experience of a life out of balance. Therapy can help us develop wise responses to reach our goals and find solutions to life's problems. There are many reasons to seek therapy. Therapy creates a container to explore and attend to the difficulties in our lives. Therapy supports lasting change through awareness. In therapy we explore fulfillment and work toward courage and wisdom.

I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with transitions and communication. I also specialize in Men’s issues that may include challenges with emotional intimacy, difficulty being vulnerable, and maintaining their passion for life. I see men who are wanting to uncover a fuller version of themselves, and feel fully expressed and fully fulfilled in every area of their lives. Clients I see understand that they get out of the therapy what they put into it. The therapeutic relationship becomes the container for change. I see their seeking help not as a sign of weakness, but rather as a sign of good judgment.

It's truly a joy to support our Santa Barbara Community! I specialize in anxiety, trauma/EMDR, and coping with chronic health conditions. I also help people shift people-pleasing, codependency and perfectionism. Many of my clients have grown up in dysfunctional family systems and are struggling with the impact of these experiences on their self worth, relationships and daily anxiety. Others are dealing with confusing or mysterious chronic health issues and anxious about their symptoms and isolated. My aim is help you live a life where you feel less on-edge, confident in who you are, and a stronger sense of meaning.

It is my privilege to support folks in their healing, growth and attaining their desired changes. In my 13 yrs in practice, I developed an eclectic approach in which I try to get clients their progress as early as possible, customizing a variety of methods. During sessions, I give my full attention, compassion, skills-teaching, and honest feedback. I customize sessions for what they need (consider their upbringing, values, goals & ability). I work with clients of a wide range of cultural, political, religious, or spiritual backgrounds/value systems. Focus is on clients feeling more self-empowered, at peace & self-satisfied.

Life is too short to spend another day at war with yourself. As a therapist, I specialize in helping people with anxiety, depression, harsh self-criticism, relationship challenges, disordered eating, and body image concerns. No one wakes up in the morning hoping to struggle in these ways, but as humans it’s easy to get stuck. In a warm, non-judgmental space, we can work together to understand painful patterns, heal old wounds, and create meaningful change. My goal is to help you connect with your innate wisdom and compassion so you can live a life aligned with what matters to you most.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma or an addiction issue? Dealing with challenging emotions and addictions can create a feeling of despair, loneliness, and shame, and often the fear that "this is really screwing up my life and I'm too afraid to ask for help."

Just like physical health, mental health is an essential aspect of living well. When our mental health is amiss, our ability to enjoy life is compromised. Just as a physical limp impedes our ability to move freely, emotional suffering hinders our ability to live as we would like. Effective therapy puts you back in the driver’s seat of your own life. I’m here to collaborate with you to find creative solutions to the sources of your distress.

When we peel back and examine these layers, gather a better understanding of ourselves and the world around us, nurture self-compassion, & integrate practical coping skills that's when the real magic happens and we start to shine our brightest. I am here to work with you as a collaborative partner on your healing journey.

Every person has intrinsic value and worth- which is vitally important to remember when exploring one's personal journey. At times we forget and need gentle reminding. Having a skilled clinician to help shine a light on things that need attention or adjustment, sets us up for more of what we really want and need in life. Each person also holds a personal narrative, which contributes in shaping relationships and life choices, as well as contributes to problematic patterns and habits. Seeking support for a more fulfilling life and the restoration of what matters most, is nothing less than heroic. Call for a complimentary intake.
