Santa Barbara, CA 93105
It takes courage and strength to reach out for help. I have 25 years of experience helping anxious, unhappy, and discouraged people cultivate greater confidence, joy, and hope in their lives. I enjoy helping my clients break free from self-limiting mindsets and habits, so they can become more productive, creative, and connected with others. I also help people caught up in challenging, toxic, or narcissistic relationships to regain their clarity, confidence, and personal power, so they can thrive (and love) again. Maybe it's time to find new and better ways to live and love. That is the focus and heart of my work with people.

Do you find yourself stuck in familiar patterns, overwhelmed by your emotions, or constantly putting others' needs before your own? Perhaps you're navigating a life transition, struggling in your relationships, questioning your sense of identity, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Whatever has brought you here, I'm glad you're reaching out. I work with young adults in their twenties and thirties facing anxiety, depression, people-pleasing, attachment wounds, difficult family dynamics, and questions of meaning and purpose.

Santa Barbara, CA 93105
My mission as a therapist is to sit with clients in a way that supports healing and growth and encourages discovery of innate wisdom. I believe that we all possess the capacity to know peace, but that sometimes we become disconnected as a result of painful experiences and unhelpful coping patterns. Disconnection can manifest as anxiety, depression, addictive or other self-destructive behaviors, or even psychosis. When symptoms interfere with our ability to have satisfying experiences-- in relationships, at work, and in life in general-- we can benefit from getting help.

Are you ready for meaningful change? You may be successful, creative, and accomplished, yet still feel stuck, anxious, disconnected, or affected by experiences from your past.

If you want to feel better about yourself and others, you have come to the right place.
