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.

I'm a "trauma-informed therapist" with awareness placed on the complex impact of certain experiences, often resulting in chronic suffering, overwhelm, or fear of abandonment.

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.

Tired of having the same arguments over and over again? Of not feeling understood by your partner? Do you want better for yourself? Your kids? Often when clients first reach out they are feeling anxious, stressed, trapped, disconnected, and lost. They are so busy there's no time to reflect or don't have the tools to "fix it". I am Gottman Trained which is the top researched based approach for fostering relationship satisfaction. The family building years are full of transitions, which can sometimes be a bit bumpy. It helps to have an expert supporting you, guiding you into being the best mom/parent(s) that you want to be.

Hi! I am in the process of relocating from the Bay Area to Santa Barbara. Currently offering tele-health while I secure an office space for in person sessions. I have worked with couples going through significant life changes, teenagers (and their parents) who have behavioral struggles, blended families redefining household dynamics, people who are having "mental blocks" that prevent them from accomplishing their goals, young adults at risk of hospitalization, and everything in between. My goal as a therapist is to support you on your journey. Whatever that may be! This space is reserved solely for YOU to get the support you need.

I have a passion for working with sensitive people who excel in certain areas of life while experiencing dissatisfaction and disconnection in others.

Taking the first step to make a change can be scary and takes courage. I am so glad you are here. I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story.

You may find that the harder you fight to stop painful emotions or thoughts, the stronger they get and the bigger the internal clash. An inner critic may start to attack you. You may struggle to control what seems bad, wrong and needing correction. You may hide or push others away, feeling lonely and out of touch with loved ones. I treat individuals who want to understand themselves better and feel more connected with the people around them. In therapy, we bring compassion and curiosity to learn the genesis of these confusing emotions, their intent and heal them.

I support teens and adults who are dealing with difficult emotions and challenging relationship dynamics. Many of my clients feel trapped in patterns that leave them questioning, “Why do I keep doing this?”. Their struggles are often accompanied by feelings of hopelessness and frustration. If you are ready to break free from old habits and build healthier, more meaningful relationships, I am here to help. My clients aim to feel more grounded in their lives and want a space where they can express experiences they previously found difficult to put into words.

You are insightful and self-aware, you know all of the “right” things to do and think, and yet you still struggle to truly feel good enough. Have you spent your life trying to achieve and move up the ladder and still feel anxious, panicky, or like something is missing? You might be a people pleaser and struggle to say no or to set healthy boundaries. Maybe you have a hard time showing all of yourself to loved ones and instead present only the parts of yourself that seem likable - leaving you feeling unknown and alone. You may give and give to others and yet neglect to care for yourself or to ask for your own needs to be met.
