BEGIN YOUR WELLNESS JOURNEY
50-minute session — $150
child therapy
When I work with children, I am entering into their world through play and creative expression, which allows me to explore what they’re experiencing and gives insight into what may be supportive for their own growth and development. Your child will have a safe space to express their inner world and be celebrated for who they are.
Therapy with children isn’t the same as how therapy looks like with adults. Play and self-expression through various mediums, as well as having a supportive therapeutic relationship, is what helps a child blossom. As our brains develop through out our lives, we have the opportunity for change.
I work with children 6 years and older. I am available to meet online via telehealth, in-office, or in nature for nature therapy. For more information on nature therapy, please click here.

Adolescents
Adolescence is an important, formidable time in one’s life. While the brain undergoes aggressive synaptic pruning, the body begins producing hormones we have yet to experience, and on top of it all, there are increased social pressures from peers and society. Stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem become common experiences for teens trying to navigate it all and survive. Having a safe space to process, express, and discuss what is going on can be helpful for your teen.
Learning tools to advocate for oneself, cope with difficult emotions, and maintain relationships will benefit them for years to come. Art, somatic, and talk therapy are used, as well as the opportunity for nature therapy. This is a safe space for LGBTQ+ youth, to explore their sexual and gender identity.

Young adults
Navigating this transitional period of life, where so much change is happening and the pressure to decide what to do with one’s life has finally arrived, can be a difficult experience. Often young adults report struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, and isolation as they begin this journey into adulthood, as it is not the same journey their parents once took. I love supporting individuals navigating launching, honoring values, exploring relationships, identifying maladaptive patterns, and managing emotional & mental wellbeing.
I am available to meet in-person, at an agreed upon nature location or at my office in downtown Santa Barbara. Telehealth is also available.
