Offering personalized, quality mental health therapy to children, adults, couples and families in Santa Cruz County. We are taught to constantly be on the go, but at times we need to stop and look inside to find what it is that is keeping us from actually moving forward. Sometimes we simply need to remember how to come home to ourself. I am here to offer a safe container to do just this.
You are the expert on your life; you have the knowledge within to choose the right path. It is my job to walk beside you and shine a light. Containment and clarity: this is what I can offer to you as my client. I provide therapy in English and Spanish to individuals, couples, and families. My approach is collaborative and personalized. We decide together what will be best for you.
Depending on your needs and preference, our work can be very goal directed and practical, using short term therapeutic approaches. Or it can be expansive, open-ended, and inquiring, offering a more holistic approach. Take the first step to embark on this quest towards healing and self-discovery.

Since I was a young child, I wanted to be a therapist because I have always been fascinated by people and relationships, by what drives us and what makes us who we are.
I have worked in the field of counseling since 2002, and I have come to understand that anyone with an open mind and heart can benefit from counseling, whether the reason is acute distress or a general desire to grow and develop more self-awareness.
It is my life purpose to provide a safe space, a clear mind, and a compassionate heart to help my clients achieve their unique goals.

Cognitive-behavioral therapy, often simply referred to as CBT, is an evidence based approach that involves the practice of examining your thoughts and noticing how your interpretations of situations influence your reactions.
First, you notice your regular cognitive distortions, and then you begin to challenge them.

My fee for a 50-55 minute session of individual or couples therapy is $130.
I offer a sliding scale for those in financial need.
We will agree on a fee before our first session.
I also offer 90 minute sessions at a prorated fee.
At times, I find it is beneficial to do longer sessions (particularly with EMDR) in order to come to a natural completion.
I hold a limited amount of spots for clients with Medicare and Anthem Blue Cross.
In these cases, I will bill your insurance directly, and you are responsible for any co-payment and/or deductible at the time of services.
