I earned my master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and completed my clinical training at CALM, the Santa Barbara School District, + Carpinteria High School where I gained fluency in working with adolescents who have experienced complex trauma. After years of working with this age group, I’ve developed a special focus of supporting youth as they transition from adolescence to adulthood.

In addition to being a therapist, I received my certification as an Equine Specialist in Mental Health + Learning through the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship in 2017, and have been offering equine-guided therapy + learning over the last 7 years.

Growing up on the central coast of California, my most formative experiences have unfolded in connection with the natural world. My life long love of being in nature has evolved into a passion for supporting youth development through meaningful, nature-based experiences.

I work from a person-centered, compassion-focused framework. I weave various modalities to provide a flexible and humanistic approach to therapy. My practice is informed by depth psychology + ecopsychology.

My style when working with clients is creative, collaborative, and down to earth. I welcome you as you are, while holding space for you to feel safe and heard. I empower you to explore uncharted depths and support you in unearthing beliefs, behaviors, and narratives that keep you feeling stuck.

With thoughtful consideration and warmth, I’ll work with you to cultivate a deeper sense of belonging.
