Teletherapy for Santa Barbara, CA

Hello, I see you as more than the trauma, the grief or struggle that brings you to therapy. I see you as more than ego or persona; the image we present to the world and I see you as much more than any diagnosis or label. I believe a lot of our distress and suffering comes from the fact that we are alienated from our true selves, we have lost connection to an aware relationship with ourselves. I work well with people who want to become more conscious, more aware, who want to better understand themselves.

The heart of my work is helping women in their 20s and 30s who want to restore healing, peace, and balance to their lives. I take a collaborative, practical, and compassionate approach and empower you to recognize and utilize your strengths as a means of moving through fear, sadness, and insecurities. My aim is to support you as you move toward increased healing and wholeness in your life. While I focus primarily on Millennials and Highly Sensitive People, my practice is open to all ages and genders as well as all cultures and sexualities.

As the founder of Santa Barbara Ecotherapy, I recognize that "therapy as usual" doesn't work for everyone. Perhaps you've said, "Nature is my therapy." AND, you need something more. Something like real therapy, in nature. Nature therapy. Welcome! You found it. Let's get to work on self-mastery, insight and clarity, self-honoring choices, healthy boundaries infused with compassion, active inner wisdom, and engagement with Wisdom greater than ourselves to get you the life you desire. Yes, you, too, can move through the world well-rooted yet free-flowing, safe in your right to create a thriving, purposeful life.

I specialize in healing relationships with self and other, whether they are painful, confusing, or just plain unsatisfying. If you're "going through the motions," you've lost yourself, your anxious mind is driving you crazy, or if you can't decide whether to stay in that relationship or leave. I'll help you learn to manage those difficult emotions and confusing situations so that you can move through those life transitions and issues with a greater sense of confidence and ease.

There may be something much more meaningful at hand than your symptoms alone let on. Are you seeking more than talk therapy alone? At the Neurofield clinic, I've helped people overcome seemingly impossible problems by blending neuroscience technology with the art of psychotherapy. Neurotherapy can dramatically speed up your progress and address the cause of your symptoms. Here, we treat the toughest cases, and train clinicians in the cutting edge field of clinically-applied neuromodulation. Our neurotherapeutic hardware, strategies & techniques have been adopted by practitioners worldwide.

Finding a therapist you vibe with is essential. My approach is laid back, exploratory, & collaborative. I’m an active participant in your journey, offering insight, feedback, & direction. I listen to understand and never assume or judge. I’ll ask the hard questions but we’ll move at your pace. Therapy isn’t all serious all the time- humor heals, too! Together, we’ll map out your life and start to connect some dots. I hold space as you get to know yourself better (“why am I the way I am?”), help you process (“I’m aware of how aware I am of my flaws- now what!?”), and encourage you to embrace your whole self.

I help folks seeking relief from emotional suffering, wanting to change mental/behavioral patterns, or wanting to feel more empowered. I meet them where they are and guide with a balance of compassion and motivation toward progress. I teach skills that are effective, and assist them to think outside the box of mainstream culture & pressures to find their own answers. Contact me to ask about starting your healing process. It’s an honor to serve those seeking change. Ages 3 to elderly, Diversity/Multiculturally sensitive, Decolonization focus also available.

You are smart, hardworking, and psychologically-minded. Your wellbeing is important to you and objectively, most things in your life are going well. Yet, feelings of anxiety, sadness, loss, emptiness, or disappointment gnaw at you. From time to time, you think about your past, from your adolescence to relationships and choices. These things aren’t directly related to your life now so you wonder why they come up at all but you cannot reconcile them. Because you are busy with work, family, and staying connecting, these emotional blips get lost. You don’t make time to reflect and feel. You just keep plugging along … until next time.
