Hi there! I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in working with young adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity exploration, and life transitions. I also enjoy working with adolescents and adults. My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and able to show up just as you are. Together, we'll better understand what's keeping you stuck, strengthen your relationships, build confidence, and help you navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and self-compassion.
My approach is warm, integrative, and compassion-focused, tailored to what works best for you. I combine evidence-based methods with empathy to meet you where you are and support your unique journey. While therapy often involves digging into the tough stuff, I believe that there’s also plenty of room for laughter and fun along the way!
If you find yourself yearning for change, longing to understand yourself/others better, or simply needing a space to be heard, I'd love to connect for a consultation. I see clients in person in Del Mar, CA, and offer telehealth sessions throughout California, including Santa Barbara. I have current availability for teens, adults, families, and couples!
Call or Erica Bruckner now for a free 15 minute consultation - (805) 514-1594
