Compassionate, Grounded in Psychological Science
Join me online or at my private practice in Santa Barbara, California for psychological therapy.

Psychological Therapy
I provide the space, guidance, and support you need to overcome challenges, embrace psychological flexibility, develop healthier habits, accept vulnerability, connect to your purpose, and bring more vitality to your life.
You don't have to do it alone.
real talk
My goal as a psychologist is to help you live a more meaningful, vital and fulfilling life.
I provide compassionate and effective therapy that will help you learn new skills and launch you in the direction you want to be moving in your life. Foundational to my approach is a collaborative partnership, where positive transformations evolve in a warm, safe environment.
I take a holistic approach drawing from my rigorous background in the science of behavior and my training in acceptance, compassion and mindfulness. I am a expert and clinical trainer in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy—an evidence-based therapy that helps you unhook from unhelpful patterns and live in alignment with your values.
