I believe that healing and growth are innate human capacities which can become overwhelmed by powerful and/or chronic stressors. My priorities for our healing relationship are to ensure a sense of safety for you in the therapy process, as well as collaborativity. I have developed a process that I call Developmental Mindfulness to promote wellness on the somatic, emotional, and cognitive levels of human experience. I integrate somatic modalities, archetypal psychology, art therapy, play therapy, the fundamentals of qigong and yoga, Internal Family Systems, narrative strategies, cognitive strategies, and nutritional psychology.

I have been told that I bring hope to situations, experiences and behaviors that often feel hopeless. Specializing in working with families, children, adolescents and parents, I work collaboratively with client/s to identify and develop goals, and a road map of how we will know that these goals are being met as we work together. I work actively with clients using their knowledge and strengths towards reaching their goals.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and have been serving the needs of children, adolescents, and adults for over 20 years. I grew up in the Santa Cruz area and I am thrilled to be serving our beautiful community. I provide both therapy and psychological testing to children and adults in order to help my patients grow into their full potential. Oftentimes, problems that seem insurmountable are due to the ways in which we perceive them. Feeling as though we lack the power to change keep us locked in old, unproductive patterns. Understanding what is holding you back is often the key to growth, change, and greater life satisfaction.

I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families, drawing from a variety of research-based treatment modalities based on the needs of the particular client.

If you don't know how to 'fix it' yourself, why not call a professional? We all know how to call a plumber or electrician or landlord, why is it so hard to call a therapist? Or even a friend or partner? First, let me say, nothing is broken, YOU are not broken. You want more out of your life and relationships and you're not sure how to get there. You've lost your way in more ways than one, and your connection to self and others may be shakey at best. Maybe you feel stuck or like no one really understands. Together we can rebuild your sense of connection to yourself and others, dare I say, even a sense of aliveness and joy.

Blending conventional and alternative approaches I empower children, adolescents, and adults to reach their therapeutic goals. It is my belief that all children, regardless of age or race, speak their own unique language based on their unique life experiences. This language expresses who they are and what they need in order to live a more functional and productive life. My mission is to interpret that language and offer innovative strategies that foster positive growth and maturity. It is not only a challenge to change, grow, and learn. As a member of the human race, I feel it is an obligation!

Perhaps you are feeling stuck, trapped or anxious. Maybe you believe you don't measure up to what you assume others expect of you or what you expect of yourself. These feelings and beliefs frequently indicate aspects in your life rooted in early life trauma that are trying to get your attention, but can feel intolerable and unbearable at times. Growing the ability to connect with the many parts and experiences of your life in a new way could be key. Learning to relate with compassion to the beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and concerns that arise can be an invitation for new understanding, meaning, and creativity.

Initiating therapy can be a daunting and challenging process, and that begins with selecting a therapist around whom you will feel comfortable, safe and respected. To help you with that process, I'll start by sharing a few things about myself. I became a therapist because I discovered that it was a large part of who I am. Even at an early age, I found that I was often the person others felt safe to let their guard down with - to share what was happening below the surface, and to seek out my advice.
