A BIT ABOUT MY APPROACH TO THERAPY

As an LMFT specializing in trauma, my therapeutic approach is founded on a holistic and client-centered perspective. My chosen treatment modalities and interventions are selected and adjusted based on you, your goals, and what we are focusing on. Collaboration plays a vital role in our work together, as I deeply value your expertise in your own life.

​

All services can be done via Telehealth video anywhere in CA and in-person downtown Santa Barbara. Telehealth video sessions are conducted on a HIPAA-compliant platform.

What to Expect in Our First Session

I believe in tailoring each therapy session to your unique needs and experiences, ensuring that your personal quest towards healing is personalized and meaningful. By fostering a trusting and supportive environment, my goal is to empower you and provide a safe space for you to face up to your trauma and embark on the transformative process of recovery.

After earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy and Psychology from Durham University in the UK, I moved to Santa Barbara in 2013 to complete my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and catch up on lost sunshine. I have additional formal education in trauma-focused treatment and substance use counseling. I have been practicing in Santa Barbara since 2015, and completed my EMDR training in 2019.
