About My Clients
Clients often start therapy because they need help getting through a difficult time with a spouse, young children, or during or after pregnancy. They are overwhelmed, frustrated, and exhausted. Our work in therapy helps my clients care for others without sacrificing themselves. By focusing on deep and authentic self-care, my clients discover new possibilities for connection and love in their relationships.
My Background and Approach
My approach in treating women with anxiety, parenting, and relationship challenges is primarily Psychodynamic and based on Attachment Theory. I utilize elements of Spiritual Counseling and Coaching as well. I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute, and earned clinical hours supporting early bonding through Relational and Psychodynamic therapeutic approaches at Secure Beginnings in Oak View, California. I completed my clinical training at Calm in Santa Barbara, treating children affected by trauma and their families through evidence based treatment modalities such as Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
“To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” Thich Nhat Hanh. I see personal growth as the process we each go through in accepting ourselves, becoming truly beautiful. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found my way to this profession. My job is fundamentally to see each person as beautiful until they can see it for themselves.
