Introduction

I specialize in treating adult anxiety, supporting with major life transitions (including divorce/separation, career changes, and geographical moves), parenting and co-parenting, and postpartum anxiety/depression. I’m also a certified Couple's Therapist. I draw heavily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Somatic Therapy to support my clients. I have broad professional experience, including Behavioral Health Lead at Santa Cruz Community Health Centers, extensive work in community mental health, clinical supervision, and program lead at Kaiser Permanente. I believe you are the expert on your own life; however, I am honored to support you on your journey to living a meaningful life. I tailor my practice to fit the unique needs of each client I work with. Although we all have the capacity for adaptation, flexibility, and change, sometimes the challenges of life can become overwhelming. I believe with supportive therapy, we can get through those experiences with a little more self-compassion and self-awareness and get back to living aligned with what is most meaningful. I look forward to working with you.
