Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in Talk Therapy, Art Therapy, Anxiety, Depression (Mild-Moderate), Stress Management, Communication Skills, ADHD, Self-esteem, Life Transitions, Trauma, Social Skills, and Self-Care.
I've worked with youth as a counselor/therapist for over 15 years (15+ years in private practice and 12 of those years also as a school counselor for the Hope Elementary School District.)
I speak conversational Spanish which can be helpful for communication with parents who are not fluent in English. I do not conduct therapy in Spanish.
I am a contracted provider with Cottage Health Insurance only, otherwise accept private pay and can provide a Superbill.
My office is located in Santa Barbara but I serve the wider community via telehealth.
As of November 2021, I am currently working remotely via Telehealth with ages 12 and up (with only an occasional in-person meeting outdoors if needed). I intend to return to my work with younger children as well when I resume in-person work (hopefully sometime in 2022.)
