I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can look honestly at your life, explore your dreams, and confront any obstacles preventing you from living the life you want. Regardless of your background or past experiences, it is never too late to work towards having a good life. With support, you can reckon with your past trauma and grief, face your fears, and go on to thrive in life.
I have worked as a licensed therapist for 25+ years helping teens, college students, and adults of all ages through major transitions. I helped them to build more tolerance for the anxiety that comes as they push the edge of change, to become more intimate with themselves and others, and to put themselves out in the world.
I also have extensive experience helping others recover from addictions, post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety in private practice, at Women's Crisis Support, and at Kaiser Permanente Addictions Medicine and Women's Health. In addition, I have worked at UCSC for 20+ years helping college students navigate their lives, education, and future.
