A little about me
Hello and welcome! I’m Aubrey (she/her) and I am a licensed psychologist who works and lives in Santa Barbara, California. I also work remotely as a Clinical Assistant Professor within the Stanford University School of Medicine Psychiatry Department. My research has focused on the treatment and prevention of eating and body image problems and the potential benefits of compassion- and acceptance-based interventions. Clinically, I work with individuals experiencing eating and body image concerns, and anxiety/perfectionism/shame, as well as people navigating transitions and identity exploration. I also work with parents and partners of folks with eating disorders to help support and guide them in caring for their loved one and themselves. Lastly, I specialize in treating athletes with eating disorders and/or other mental health concerns. In addition to my clinical work, I am also involved in teaching, training, and mentoring psychology doctoral students.
I completed my bachelor’s degree in Psychology with Highest Honors at UC Berkeley and received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. My predoctoral internship took place at the Emory University School of Medicine Department of Psychiatry, where I worked with children, adolescents, and young adults with eating disorders, emotion regulation difficulties, anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD. I completed my postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford University’s School of Medicine within the Psychosocial Treatment Clinic, where my training focused on evidence-based treatments for eating disorders, anxiety and mood disorders, couples/families, and high-performance athletes, as well as clinical supervision.
My Approach
I aim to help my clients identify the obstacles standing in the way of living a more full and meaningful life that is in line with their deepest values. I team up with my clients to address a range of issues that might be keeping them stuck. My approach is tailored to each individual and integrates acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT) skills, and interpersonal interventions, as well as mindfulness and self-compassion techniques. I am also trained in Family Based Therapy (FBT) for Anorexia Nervosa. I strive to bring cultural humility to my work and to practice with sensitivity to issues of diversity and identity. Clients of all races, ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religions, countries of origin, and abilities are welcome.
