Women's Issues Therapists in Summerland, CA

As a private practitioner, I provide psychotherapy with focus on family relationships, women's issues, substance use and addiction concerns. I work with young to senior adults using a person-centered approach. The primary focus will be on your own special brand of culture and individuality. I will help guide you into being the best version of you.

You don’t understand where things went so wrong. You and your partner still love each other very much, but lately, you’ve been drifting further and further apart. Communication has become strained, and you have the same stupid arguments on repeat. The conflicts have become so commonplace that you’ve begun to avoid each other just to spare yourselves from another fight. The trust you once shared is evaporating, and intimacy has gone out the window. Neither of you are ready to give up on this relationship, but you’re worried that unless something changes soon, this rift may become unrepairable. It all feels so awful.

I work primarily with adults who seek therapy to improve their relationships, navigate life changes, and understand difficult patterns to generate more peace, joy, and authenticity. I’m able to support you with a range of concerns, including insomnia using CBT-I, new parents, work related challenges, career growth and menopause. In addition, I work with individuals to clarify their future goals, desired life path, and create new habits for wellbeing.

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.

Finding a therapist to connect with and feel safe enough to share the deepest parts of you can be a scary proposition. My approach as a psychotherapist is to sit alongside you as you look at those pieces of your life you would like to change. I work with my clients to increase Self-Awareness and find solutions to the challenges you are experiencing. I believe we discover ourselves through our relationships with others, including our psychotherapist.

Are you frequently worrying about things you can’t control? Do you tend to talk negatively to yourself or feel like you aren’t enough? Are you concerned about relationship issues? Being a human today is hard and people come to therapy for many different reasons. It can be challenging to manage all the aspects of personal, professional, and family life, leaving self-care and wellness on the back burner. I am committed to helping women and couples improve communication, feel better, and live well. I value the importance of building a trusting and collaborative relationship and know that finding the right therapist can be hard.

Most clients come to therapy when other things they've tried are no longer working. Whether it's the frustration of work and career, difficult familial connections, friendships or intimate relationships that feel less than satisfying. Issues around speaking up, feeling heard, respected emotionally are often some of the goals dear to our hearts, but also seem so out of reach. Most of us want to feel heard and as though we matter. Our futures are full of hope and opportunity, but getting there can also seem daunting. What is keeping you from achieving your beautiful life?

Accepting new clients. I treat clients who struggle with anxiety, panic attacks, depression, relationship conflicts, and life transitions.

The good news is there are so many strategies to overcome anxiety that you can learn! My clients have made enormous strides in conquering anxiety and other emotions that hold them back.

Have you ever had a not-so-great therapy experience? Maybe you left a session feeling more misunderstood, judged, or alone than when you walked in. The therapist may have made assumptions that proved they didn't get you at all - or tried to make decisions for you. With 15 years of experience, one of my highest values is to listen carefully to my clients and treat you with the utmost respect. I do my best to leave my prior assumptions at the door and believe clients are the experts in their lives. Don't know where to begin?
