Let's Connect (831) 273-7976
Together we will explore the impact of your past history and beliefs. I bring an open-minded and introspective approach to exploring thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Many of our struggles internally and externally are due to unmet needs for empathy and understanding.
My approach to individual and couples therapy is grounded in cognitive and emotionally focused techniques that can help clients identify outdated thoughts and behaviors. I invite acceptance of reactions and defenses to understand and normalize why these protective strategies developed and may no longer be useful.
As a warm, mature, safe, and nonjudgmental therapist, I help clients develop strategies to overcome challenges and discover and create the next best version of themselves. Please contact me for a free consultation to discuss whether we would be a good match for therapy.

Ultimately, therapy is about self-awareness. You are already on your path to a greater awareness of who you are. I am simply someone who meets you on that path and helps you see where your inner voice is telling you to go next. Within relationships, we can work to develop an awareness of our partners, improving the ways we can see and hear them. Relationships offer an opportunity for growth.

Therapy is a dynamic process. It can be highly useful to incorporate a specific therapeutic approach like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT), or Internal Family Systems (IFS). However, I don't believe in focusing on a specific approach. It is usually best to sprinkle in therapy techniques within an ongoing empathic connection. We all need to be seen and heard.
