About Me

With over 10 years of experience in psychotherapy, I’m passionate about helping individuals heal from the past and create more balanced, fulfilling lives. In our first session, you’ll find a warm, welcoming space where you feel safe, heard, and respected. We’ll take time to ensure we’re a good fit and clarify your goals for therapy. My primary approach is EMDR therapy, which helps process and resolve the impact of difficult experiences and trauma. I also integrate elements of CBT and mindfulness to support emotional regulation, insight, and practical coping strategies. My work is client-centered, meaning I tailor each session to your unique needs, pace, and preferences. Whether you’re working through trauma, anxiety, depression, or stress, we’ll collaborate to help you reconnect with your strengths, develop healthier patterns, and move toward lasting change. I provide a compassionate space where you can explore, process, and grow, along with practical tools and gentle strategies to support progress between sessions. I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. My focus is on meeting you where you are—with empathy, curiosity, and respect—and walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and self-understanding. I offer both telehealth and in-person sessions in Santa Barbara, providing flexibility and comfort as you begin or continue your therapy process.
