My Approach to Helping
Hi, I'm Louise.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Santa Cruz, California, and work with clients statewide via Telehealth and in person. I work with children, families, and adults using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to help my clients learn healthy behavioral patterns. I specialize in treating anxiety, trauma, and transitional and relational life experiences.
My approach to therapy uses a client-centered perspective to support my clients with their unique needs and goals. I often combine Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to support my client in developing healthy ways to cope with stress, regulate their emotions, and improve their relationships with others.
