Are you ready to take a step towards greater mental health and improved relationships? It takes courage to acknowledge the truth of your experience and to be present with your own pain and traumas in order to process them and heal. In the right supportive environment, it is possible to do just that and to free yourself from your own traps that keep you tight, stuck, fearful, or unhappy - to experience greater freedom, self-expression, and joy.
The intent of therapy is to provide a space of warmth, understanding, and acceptance in which you can safely open, explore, and express your thoughts, feelings, experiences, and conclusions about life. Through support and feedback, you can begin to see yourself more clearly and recognize new, healthier choices that can result in real and lasting changes.

I have worked as a Psychotherapist in Private Practice in Santa Barbara since 2006. I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute (2005) and a Bachelor's Degree in Anthropology: Social Sciences from Stanford University (1996). I have experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and I speak conversational Spanish.
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in private practice in Santa Barbara, I provide psychotherapy and counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, families, and couples. As a therapist I am warm, accepting, and compassionate. I will strive to meet you where you are at in the moment with the situations you face and the emotions you feel, whether it be loneliness, pain, anger, happiness, sadness, fear, or aliveness.
Children often cannot describe their feelings or experiences with words. The way we sometimes know that a child is suffering or struggling is through their behavior or "acting out." A child may be aggressive with peers at school, stealing, having frequent temper tantrums, not paying attention in class, breaking toys, defying rules, withdrawing, or showing regressive behavior.
