I have been providing counseling and psychotherapy to individual adults, couples, children, teen and families in the Santa Cruz area since 1970. I love helping people discover their inner strengths and figure out how to utilize those strengths to create a better life and relationships.

I utilize a versatile, directive approach to therapy which is informed by several theories and modalities including Family Systems, CBT, Short-term behavioral therapy, Gestalt, Strength-based and Humanistic. Much of my practice deals with achieving personal goals, relationship issues and parent/lchild issues.

I use a strength-based approach to help my clients decrease anxiety, improve mood, and strengthen relationships. I have worked with "at risk" children, adolescents, young adults, and their families in the Santa Cruz area for the past 20 years. My non-judgmental approach assists with building trust as we work collaboratively to achieve the client's goals. I have extensive experience navigating the educational, social, criminal justice, and mental health systems.

I work with individual adult and adolescent clients to heal symptoms such as depression, anxiety, addictions, body image issues, somatic pain or illness, suicidal ideation, parent- child related difficulties, and attachment-based wounding. Through the lens of Internal Family Systems, a non-pathologizing approach to healing trauma, I help clients to align with their internal resource for healing, get to know the true meaning of their symptoms, and unburden the pain they carry. Clients report feeling greater connectedness, expanded perspective on their lives and compassion for themselves and others around them following treatment.

Starting therapy can feel exciting and intimidating—especially when trying to find the right fit for yourself, your child/ teen , or your family. My heartfelt intent is to uplift people to find peace, compassion, and deep connection in life. Imagine breaking free from repetitive, scary, and hurtful thoughts & feelings; feeling secure, serene, & at home with yourself even on hard days; knowing you're capable, worthy, and connected to love. If you or your child struggle with isolation, hopelessness, unworthiness, people pleasing, or feeling "out of control" or “stuck” in areas of life, I would love to support you to thrive.

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 together are to ensure a sense of safety for you in the therapy process, as well as collaborativity. I take an integrative approach to healing, including mindfulness practices, archetypal psychology, art therapy, play therapy, somatic modalities, and nutritional psychology. Additionally, I have a therapy dog that is an integral presence in the sessions. She is calm, friendly, and very grounding and sweet. I see clients in person; telehealth as a back-up only.

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis for individuals, teens and couples. Together we work to develop a deeper understanding of yourself, resolve personal and interpersonal conflicts, and improve your mood and behavior in a private, respectful setting. I help you to heal from traumatic and abusive situations. I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in collaboration with Journey Clinical to qualified individuals. My family work includes child therapy, families in transition, parenting and child development, parent- teen dyads, and couples therapy.

Perfectionism, procrastination, social withdrawal, and oppositional behaviors can be a common part of child development in today's culture of hyper-achievement combined with technology. Child and adolescent behaviors viewed as problematic are frequently communications to those closest to them about a difficulty they are experiencing in their world. I work with children and with families who are struggling to understand their child's academic, behavioral, and emotional struggles.

I work primarily with adult men and late teen adolescents. I help people who struggle with emotional connection in their relationships with their partners, family and friends. Struggles in emotional connection sometimes take the form of difficulty being vulnerable and comfortable in relationship, effectively communicating needs and wants or sensing a lack of meaning, direction or purpose in life. It's through deepening our emotional connections, first with ourselves, that we can then go forward in life and relationships from a more secure and confident place.
