Therapist

Virtual • Santa Maria, CA


Reaching out for help can be a BIG deal and I am here to make therapy a space where you can grow, be challenged, and learn how to live a life YOU are happy with. Have you been feeling an increase in Anxiety? Are you a young adult trying to navigate the world and figuring out where you fit? How about someone experiencing substance misuse? These are the areas I get excited to help people manage. My goal is to help you gain the control you deserve to have over your own life.

Have you considered talking to someone but you’re not sure where to start? As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained in working with people and specialize in young adults, as well as treating co-occurring disorders. I believe individuals experiencing addiction are often times also managing mental health symptoms. I treat the WHOLE person.

I have over 10 years of experience working with both adults and youth. I'm licensed in California and have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness.
