Welcome! I help people with a variety of challenges, from trauma and mental health concerns, to difficult relationships and life transitions. I can help you. I'm a somatic therapist (SEP) and a depth-oriented marriage and family therapist (MFT, looking at the underlying causes, rather than just the symptoms). I've found that, more important than my experience, is a nonjudgmental attitude, curiosity to your particular needs, as well as a collaborative therapy relationship. Every person, couple, and family is different, and so each course of therapy is unique.
I focus on restoring vitality to one's body and mind, following trauma or overwhelming life events, or during periods of transition and change. I bring in the unconscious too, through dreams, creativity and art for instance. Everyone needs help at some point in life, and I am honored to serve clients in this field for healing and growth.
I see clients in-person at my office in Santa Barbara (and virtually) as well as outdoors, for nature-based therapy sessions. Nature is a tremendous support and wellspring in my life and this is an important aspect of the therapy I offer. If my perspective makes sense to you, please feel free to reach out.
