With over 20 years of experience, I provide compassionate, ACT-informed therapy to help individuals, couples, families, and caregivers navigate life transitions, stress, and loss with clarity, acceptance, and meaningful action.
Teens & Families
Being an adolescent or a young adult is not easy. I grew up and worked in the culture of academic excellence my whole life, and I understand the pressures that affect both driven students and their parents. I have extensive experience in assisting families navigate these difficult times.
Family Therapy
I provide compassionate but direct interventions for family members navigating complex family dynamics, grief, isolation, and personal change, helping them feel supported and understood.
Divorce
I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families managing separation or divorce. Getting a divorce, even if it is a healthy decision, is one of the hardest times to go through.
Couples Therapy
Using ACT, I help couples build healthier connections, navigate conflict, recognize multigenerational patterns, and find grounding through separation or divorce by staying aligned with their values during emotionally difficult times.
Health Issues
As a two-time cancer survivor, I offer compassionate support to individuals and families facing medical diagnoses, helping them navigate fear, shifting emotions, communication challenges, and changing relationships with clarity and care.
Therapy is a valuable process that supports us through times of fear, loneliness, stress, depression, anxiety, and loss by helping us cultivate awareness, acceptance, and compassion while identifying the internal and external resources we need. No matter your stage of life, reflecting on whether you’re living in alignment with what truly matters—and taking small, committed steps toward meaningful change—can be transformative. With over 20 years of experience as a licensed marriage and family therapist, I offer in-person sessions in Santa Barbara and virtual appointments, working with individuals, couples, and families.
