Marriage and Family Therapy in Santa Barbara

“But suppose that pleasure and pain were so linked together that he or she who wants to have the greatest possible amount of one must have the greatest possible amount of the other also?”

— Friedrich Nietzsche

Therapy is a rare opportunity to be profoundly understood by another person. If you are looking for that deep understanding and a place to examine your life, I would be honored to work with you. I offer a safe and caring environment in a beautiful Santa Barbara office.

My approach to therapy is interactive and heartcentered and informed by attachment theory, family systems theory and neuropsychology.

Together we will explore the impact of your past on the present; yet because insight alone is often not sufficient in bringing about change, we will also develop concrete tools to help you live a more productive and joyful life. A life that is truly yours!
