I am passionate about helping couples heal and revitalize their bond to withstand differences and the test of time. I specialize in guiding couples, families, and individuals in building a greater sense of fulfillment, connectedness, and satisfaction to thrive in their daily lives. I believe that a positive sense of self is closely related to the health of our most important relationships.
As a marriage and family therapist, it is my honor to join couples, families, and individuals in their unique journeys of transformation as we work to expand inner growth and restore relational bonds. I offer Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), both short-term, highly effective attachment-based approaches.

I grew up in a small town in Northern California. I was excited to spread my wings and begin life in the "city" as I moved to UC Santa Barbara in 1999 to pursue my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.
As a part of this degree, I had the incredible experience of studying abroad at the University of Sydney, Australia, an opportunity that provided me with a more diverse and intensive understanding of human psychology, as well as a personal understanding of the challenges of change and living in an unfamiliar culture.

Are you looking to enhance your sense of closeness in your relationship with your spouse or partner? Are you needing help navigating through difficult issues in your family? Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed in your emotions? Do you or your child need support dealing with distressing feelings or behaviors?
Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain. We all dream and hope for a love that is strong, unbreakable, and enduring. We long for a loving relationship where we can feel a sense of comfort, reassurance, attention, responsiveness, importance, emotional connection, closeness and intimacy.
Your family and your love must be cultivated like a garden. Time, effort, and imagination must be summoned constantly to keep any relationship flourishing and growing. We all have an inherent need for connection and validation from our family relationships. As children or adolescents, we look to our family to provide us with a safe haven where we can experience a sense of comfort, closeness, acceptance, understanding, and support.
Individual therapy embodies an incredible journey of empowerment, personal growth, emotional healing, and deeper self-understanding. Making sense of your life story, including gaining a greater awareness of your emotional and perceptual experiences, can help you to achieve an enhanced sense of happiness and stronger, more meaningful relationships with others.
