welcome

I wish it was easier to find a therapist.  Research shows again and again that your “fit” with a therapist—your relationship to that person, whether or not you feel a strong interpersonal connection—determines a positive outcome.  But how do you find that therapist!? If you are here because someone you know and trust referred you to me, welcome, read on, feel free to call me and chat.  If you are researching in the wild and trying to figure out how to pick a therapist, you are brave!  I hope reading what I share here about my practice helps you in your search.

A bit about me

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT #96158) trained in Depth Psychotherapy.  My primary area of specialization is helping people recover from emotionally traumatic relationships with people with personality disorders (including Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorder).  I am passionate about helping clients identify and heal relational trauma, cultivate radical self-acceptance, and transform their relationships to themselves and others.  I work with teens (I love the brutal honesty of teenagers!), couples (I love love!), families (let’s get ‘em all in here!) and adults of all ages. I also run Women’s Groups that meet on a weekly basis.  I see clients in-person at my Santa Barbara office and also work remotely with clients throughout California via Zoom.
