Let's Connect (805) 399-5166

I work with anxiety, eating disorders and body image issues, and trauma. I help individuals and couples find relief, more understanding, break free from negative patterns, make repairs, gain clarity, and create meaningful change. Feeling stuck isn’t just about the problem—it’s about the patterns that keep it in place. Together, we’ll work to uncover what’s beneath the surface—so you can move forward with more freedom, connection, and choice.

Powerful emotions, inner and outer conflicts, and relationship issues can be an invitation to explore your experiences more deeply. As we explore your relationship(s), worries, fears, hopes, and dreams, we will find clues that lead to the source of unresolved problems and a path to wellness. When we find the source, we can heal.

Therapy is unique to each person, couple, and family. I consider your needs and personality to create a therapeutic experience in sessions. I invite you to email or call me to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation.

In our sessions together, we may delve into the present, and we may also explore your past. As we become more curious about your past and present experiences, unexpected connections may unfold. It is like a scavenger hunt. In our work together, we will find clues that lead to the source of unresolved problems. When we find the source, we can heal.
