Adults Therapists in Goleta, CA

Are you in the midst of a personal crisis or a life transition? Do you know you need to make changes in your life? Psychotherapy is a supportive, confidential way to approach these issues. An initial appointment will assess your concerns and develop recommendations to best meet your needs.

I enjoy working most notably with teens and young adults, going through transitions and looking to reconnect back with themselves to reclaim direction and purpose. Through our work together, we learn to discover and transcend limiting patterns, core beliefs and trauma, in order to reduce suffering and reclaim your most authentic self. Within each of us lies an inner "knowing" which always desires our fullest potential in this life. Its when we learn to slow down, soften, accept and allow this knowledge, that we give ourselves permission to change.

NOTE: Currently, my practice is limited to seeing individuals on Saturdays only. I look forward helping you find more effective ways of dealing with the conflicts and changes of everyday life. If you struggle with unhealthy coping strategies such as dependency on substances/behaviors, seem to repeat the same self-defeating patterns in relationships, have difficulty managing intense, overwhelming feelings or often feel misunderstood while trying to communicate, I can help you alter underlying patterns and develop tools that lead to enduring change.

As individuals progress though life, therapy can be a vital component to navigating challenges, increasing self-understanding, and reducing unwanted psychological symptoms. Utilizing a strength-based and solution-oriented approach combined with traditional therapy techniques, I provide personalized psychotherapy and coaching to assist each individual in achieving their goals. I believe in a comprehensive treatment approach to create healthy change and assist clients in envisioning the future they desire.

I believe we all have what it takes to create the life we are meant to live. I invite you to take the step of finding out what is possible for you.Through a process of discovery, awareness, and a commitment to self-understanding, there is a hope of embodying your truest self. Bringing a delicate balance of effort, care, experience and humor, it would be my privilege to accompany you on this intimate and very often, deeply satisfying journey. Don't postpone your joy!

I am a therapist committed to helping others learn how to improve upon the lives they are living. My work focuses on meeting you where you are at, supporting you with warmth, and moving forward together to make adjustments where you see fit.
