ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Santa Barbara, CA

Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Master Degree from California State University and I've been practicing therapy for over 12 years. I grew up in Italy and moved to the US 42 years ago. I'm a mother and a grandmother and I love to support the community where I lived for 30 years. In my personal life I've experienced losses, single parenthood and the challenge of acculturation. I work with adult men and women struggling with trauma, grief, anxiety, life transitions, and relationships. I'm passionate about helping them live more fulfilling relationships and peaceful life. My practice is guided by my professional experience and education, as well as loving kindness and compassion.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a professional degree. I provide compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for children and adults, partnering with each patient to understand their needs and develop a thoughtful treatment plan. I provide psychiatric care for patients of all ages. Children, adolescents, and adults are welcome.

I offer psychiatric evaluations and medication management through convenient telehealth appointments, allowing you to receive care from the comfort of your home.

For ADHD care, I provide screening and testing before beginning treatment. When appropriate, both stimulant and non-stimulant medication options may be considered as part of an individualized treatment plan.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist in CA with a MA in Clinical Psychology, I have been in practice for over twelve years.

I am a California-licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience providing specialized, confidential telehealth. My practice is built to support ambitious individuals—including busy professionals and dedicated college students—navigating high-pressure environments, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

Because your schedule is already packed with work or demanding coursework, I offer dedicated session times outside standard hours, including early mornings and weekends. Whether you are dealing with academic/professional burnout, family-of-origin issues, or deep emotional blocks, I provide a warm, inclusive space to unburden those patterns. I practice fluidly in English, Spanish, and Spanglish, honoring your unique cultural or bicultural lived experience.
