Therapy can be a valuable part of your holistic plan for health and wellness. I support parents struggling with anxiety, depression, and the myriad challenges associated with motherhood. The experience is not always what people anticipate - instead of joy there is worry, insecurity, and overwhelm. By providing perinatal and parenting-specific information, research-based techniques for symptom relief, and flexible session options, I help to normalize these common experiences and improve the family's sense of wellness. Our work together provides relief from suffering, harmony in relationships, and joyful attunement with children. View 4 Photos I also enjoy working with young adults who are exploring their identities and independence. With a relational approach that includes CBT and trauma deactivation, I invite clients to explore past relationships and how they influence current patterns. Our work together supports them to lean into the challenges of life and craft an intentional path forward. At SCTC, we offer in-person sessions in Santa Cruz and video sessions to residents of California. Reach out for a free consultation to tell us more about your experience, ask questions, and get an idea of what to expect throughout the therapy process.

I do short-term tele-health therapy. Often with ketamine, an FDA approved psychedelic medicine that has been proven to alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression rather quickly, in some cases immediately. How it works: I pair you with a psychiatrist who evaluates you then writes a prescription. You receive the medication at your home. When you're ready we set up a one hour preparation session, then a three hour journey session, followed by a one hour integration session. You do all of the this over several days from the comfort of your own home. You decide how much or how little feels right to you. There are two options for ketamine work. 1/ We work together for short term work, targeting specific goals you'd like to achieve. or 2/ You do the longer in-depth work with another therapist and I work as an adjunct therapist to help you break through certain blocks that get in your way. For ADHD I do one-off coaching sessions at your convenience. You choose a goal and we figure out how to make it work. I'm not a passive therapist. I use your in-depth written intake to get your back story. I dive in with you to ask some of the thorny questions. People tell me I'm able to be both direct and yet open and deeply empathic at the same time.

I think therapy is always a good idea. Crisis, however, is often what leads us into therapy, and I believe that it is a call and an opportunity to look deeply, not only into our "problems" but, into ourselves. My approach is non-pathologizing, relational, and grounded in Jungian theory. I work with a variety of concerns with a special interest in spirituality, identity discovery, developmental and transitional adjustments, grief, loss, depression, chronic and palliative illness. I believe that every person has an innate capacity for healing and I am interested in helping people find theirs. I emphasize the importance of spirituality and psychology. My goal is to help people understand themselves, their purpose and how to discover the meaning in experience. My approach is Jungian and as such I work with people's dreams and other elements of the unconscious in order to help increase consciousness.

I offer compassionate virtual therapy for individuals in Montana and California. I am a licensed Therapist who uses Internal Family Systems (IFS). I specialize in helping navigate life transitions and the accompanying confusion, fear and loss. I aim to help you find your strengths in moments of hopelessness and use the skills you may not know you have. I am trained through the IFS Institute in Internal Family Systems. IFS helps you to understand why you react in certain ways at certain times. For example: "I'm a nice person but when they trigger me I turn into someone so mean!" IFS is a way to connect WITH your feelings instead of just talking ABOUT them. While working with teens that I learned even the most skeptical clients can be surprised by the benefits of therapy. I work with authenticity, compassion, gentle directness and humor. Together we can explore the experiences that shaped your life and find new ways of moving forward towards peace, balance and happiness.
