I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Carpinteria, California. I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches in my practice, including Depth Psychology and Acceptance Commitment Therapy, while also drawing from my background in Spiritual Psychology and training as an Addiction Counselor. 

Rather than lead you through a standardized treatment plan, I work collaboratively with you to determine the best way to address your specific needs and goals. Instead of telling you what changes to make, my role is to help you become the “expert” so you can continue growing long after our last session together. Together, we’ll explore your needs as a whole and unique person, focusing on your strengths and how they can help you grow in other areas. The foundation to my approach is client-centered and non-judgmental, and always comes from a place of support and compassion. My intention is to provide a safe and engaging environment in which healing can occur.

I appreciate working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with the challenges of interpersonal relationships and overwhelming realities of life. It is my belief that optimal wellness is found when you choose to respond to life’s challenges with kindness, acceptance, and a growth mindset. I am committed to helping you cultivate a strong sense of self, so you can explore your unique journey and, through the process, experience personal transformation.
