After completing her Bachelor of Arts degree in Global Studies at UC Santa Barbara, Holly lived abroad for several years in both Asia and the Caribbean learning to stretch past her comfort zone into the unknown.

When returning to the US, she began a career in social services and completed a Master of Arts degree in Psychology graduating Magna Cum Laude.

Holly is a trained Gottman Therapist specializing in offering couples and relationship counseling. She also offers treatment using the Internal Family Systems model to individuals experiencing anxiety, trauma, low self esteem and difficult life transitions. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy as well as a psychodynamic approach when working with adult individuals.

As the Clinical Supervisor and owner of the practice, she is passionate about creating equity and access to quality training for newer therapists, in particular placing women in positions of leadership and financial autonomy. She offers mentorship and training not only in the clinical sense, but also towards the elusive skills of entrepreneurship and business ownership. When not working, Holly also enjoys travel, pilates, and spending time outdoors.
