Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“Are you struggling with overcoming depression, anxiety, and/or PTSD due to trauma? I look to create an empowering space for all the adults and adolescents I work with including tailoring therapy approaches to meet the specific needs of the individual.”

About Me

If you are navigating depression, anxiety, or PTSD linked to trauma, I offer a dedicated space for healing. I support adults and adolescents to process and move beyond these experiences. Using approaches like EMDR, we can gently explore the roots of your distress. I tailor our work to your unique needs, helping you find lasting ways to thrive in an empowering environment.

Approach

When trauma makes daily life feel heavy, I focus on creating sessions that move at your pace while gently challenging patterns that keep you stuck. In Santa Maria or through secure online appointments, sessions are predictable and collaborative with clear check-ins, short practices between meetings, and room to pause when memories feel overwhelming. We work directly with distressing memories alongside skill-building so you leave with tools to manage waves of anxiety, grief, or low mood. People who value steady, practical progress often find this approach helpful.
