After earning my Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy and Psychology from Durham University in the UK, I moved to Santa Barbara in 2013 to complete my Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology and catch up on lost sunshine. I have additional formal education in trauma-focused treatment and substance use counseling. Since then, I have become a Licensed MFT for the State of California and EMDR Certified Therapist and Consultant. What is your approach to therapy? As an LMFT specializing in trauma, my therapeutic approach is founded on a holistic and client-centered perspective. My chosen treatment modalities and interventions are selected and adjusted based on you, your goals, and what we are focusing on. Collaboration plays a vital role in our work together, as I deeply value your expertise in your own life. What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you? I believe in tailoring each therapy session to your unique needs and experiences, ensuring that your personal quest towards healing is personalized and meaningful. By fostering a trusting and supportive environment, my goal is to empower you and provide a safe space for you to explore your trauma and embark on the transformative process of recovery.
