As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
in Santa Cruz, I work with men, women, teens, young adults, couples, and families
who are seeking to improve the quality of their relationships and their lives. 

Whether you are working to ease the symptoms
of depression or anxiety, healing from grief
and loss, resolving trauma, or seeking to deepen
a relationship with yourself and others,
I can help you move forward in an accepting
and engaging environment.

My therapeutic approach focuses on your strengths, goals, and current concerns.
I utilize an empowerment and strength-based approach to help you access your best inner self, through:  identifying and accomplishing
your life goals; achieving a calmer state
of mind; improving problem-solving and reaching your creative potential. 

 I have training in multiple therapeutic methods, including cognitive-behavioral, health realization, psychodynamic, and family system.  My theoretical orientation includes Internal Family Systems, object relations, self psychology, existential, humanistic, and solution focused approaches. 

 In the context of your cultural, family and mental health history, we will strengthen self-esteem, self-discovery, assertiveness, authenticity.
