Teletherapy for Santa Barbara County, CA

It is my privilege to support folks in their healing, growth and attaining their desired changes. In my 13 yrs in practice, I developed an eclectic approach in which I try to get clients their progress as early as possible, customizing a variety of methods. During sessions, I give my full attention, compassion, skills-teaching, and honest feedback. I customize sessions for what they need (consider their upbringing, values, goals & ability). I work with clients of a wide range of cultural, political, religious, or spiritual backgrounds/value systems. Focus is on clients feeling more self-empowered, at peace & self-satisfied.

You’ve been trying to figure out where it all went wrong. “Was it my fault? Was it hers? Does it matter?” You had a loving marriage and a happy family. But things have changed. Those warm memories…the laughs, the hugs…they've been replaced with a disappearing pile of ashes. You want so desperately to turn back the clock, but you know that’s impossible. As you cry yourself to sleep again, all you can think about is the heartbroken look in your children’s eyes. “How will I explain to them what’s going on?” It’s agony to feel this way, and you’re not sure how much longer you can go on like this. You know something needs to change.

Many clients are drawn to my unique style of work because talk therapy isn’t delving deep enough into the chronic pain they hold, the painful emotions they feel, or the spinning thoughts that rule their life. Many crave a nourishment from their lives they’ve lost touch with in the busy-ness, trapped in people pleasing, poor boundaries and unresolved old pain. Many remember they once felt vibrant and connected to themselves, and perhaps something greater. Are you ready to get back?

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.

Is talk therapy just not working for you anymore? Feeling frustrated at the subtle gnawing pain that keeps haunting your soul? Is something in the way of your full potential and life purpose from blossoming? Is that unknown void hijacking your life and dreams? You seem to have tried it all with little to no success and you are just fed up? Feeling stuck, you question yourself, your life, or your capabilities. Drifting, no land in sight, you need a compass to guide you home to yourself. The good news, I’ve navigated this journey and understand it well. And I am here for you and to support you. Trust your intuition and reach out.

Welcome, It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to seek therapy, and I am honored to be a part of that journey. I take a collaborative, integrative, and compassionate approach, utilizing a number of evidence-based modalities tailored to each individual. I am passionate about supporting my clients, and providing a confidential safe space that allows you to explore your inner and outer worlds, free of judgment and expectations. I believe in empowering my clients to explore, heal, and reconnect with their authentic and yet evolving, contextual, and relational selves, so that they may live a rich and meaningful life.

I have extensive experience helping clients with anxiety, depression, complex-trauma, relationship issues, interracial couples, and folks from multicultural backgrounds. My care work is influenced by my own experiences as a mixed-race woman, and navigating the confusion of identifying my own voice. I assist clients by helping them untangle the once helpful, but now harmful patterns in which they learned to survive, and move towards living in accordance to their needs and values. I enjoy working with those who are curious to explore their identity, together deconstructing painful messages from society to uncover one’s personal truth.
