Counseling in Santa Cruz, CA. Find the Right Therapist.

Do you find yourself at a crossroads in life? Maybe you need help navigating intense emotions, relationships or loss. Therapy can help restore a sense of agency and wholeness within yourself, joy and curiosity in your life and safety and freedom in relationships.

I can help you gain freedom from addiction, get back control, and start living the life you want. If the short-term escape is no longer worth the long-term damage, we can work together to find a new way forward, building confidence, clarity, and connection.

My goal as a therapist is to build a therapeutic relationship with you where you can speak freely. Together, we will find clues from the present and past to help develop a path to wellness, find the right coping mechanisms, and help you build a fulfilling life.

Would you like to live a more fulfilled life with meaningful relationships? You have taken the first step! Finding the right therapist can be scary and confusing. I believe that a personal connection is the corner stone to a successful therapeutic experience.
