Helping You Find A Path Forward

Therapy for Teens & Adults in Santa Barbara and California

Don’t keep waiting for things to change.

Are you constantly feeling anxious, depressed, or unmotivated? Do things seem to be going from bad to worse, or nowhere at all?

You deserve better.

Seeking help can be scary. I know. But would you rather let your problems continue? Won’t it be just as difficult to allow everything to remain the same?

You just need some support.

It’s time to get out of your head, quiet those negative thoughts and break repeating patterns. Whether you’re an overachiever feeling overwhelmed or someone navigating emotional and mental roadblocks, therapy can help you push past the barriers that bind you so that you can live the life you want.

You’ve got this.

Hi! I’m Alex, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist 149756 proving mental health counseling in santa barbara and remotely thoughout california.
I am passionate about helping pre-teens, teens, women, and individuals in their 20s & 30s find increased balance and self-awareness. 
Though things may seem tough right now, I know how to get you through this. 
Drawing on emotion-focused, mindfulness, somatic, and cognitive-behavioral (cbt) techniques, therapy with me will equip you to defeat self-deprecating patterns, harness your internal strengths, and help you get back into your life.
