Counseling for Families, Couples, and Individuals in Santa Barbara
Welcome — You’ve Taken the First Step
Stumbling Blocks into Stepping Stones.
Taking the step to begin therapy is one of the most powerful and lasting investments you can make in yourself. The skills, insights, and tools you gain will not only help you navigate current challenges, but will also serve you for years to come—enriching your personal and professional life.
Each session is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and life experiences.
Using approaches such as expressive arts, drawing, writing, mindfulness practices, and guided conversation, we’ll explore ways to help you meet life’s challenges while honoring your authentic self.
My work is grounded in creating a therapeutic relationship built on safety, trust, and mutual respect. I bring flexibility, compassion, and competence to every session, and my focus is always on supporting your growth and well-being.
Therapy works best when it’s a collaborative process. I may offer suggestions or exercises to explore between sessions, and sometimes it may be helpful to involve important people in your life—we’ll decide together what’s right for you.
