Therapists in Santa Barbara, CA

Hello, I'm Heidi: I'm a dually Licensed Marriage, Family Therapist in Colorado and California. After 25 years serving in the medical profession as a nurse, I've become attuned to people's physical, emotional and spiritual health. Today, I provide online therapy, specializing in healing from trauma, anxiety and depression. I've learned mental health is a balance between our biological, psychological, social and spiritual wellbeing.

New families are all alone. Pregnancy and postpartum used to be supported by a village and now many are left wondering- what happened to the village?

Life can often feel painful and challenging, and relationships can be complicated. If you or your teen are in this place where additional support or guidance could be helpful, I am here to offer help and hope. I am passionate about providing a safe and non-judgmental space where understanding and discovery can thrive. My desire is to come alongside of people, collaboratively working towards growth and lasting change. One passion of mine is the journey of motherhood and the various seasons and transitions of maternal mental health - from fertility to pregnancy to postpartum.

I believe that healthy people seek counseling. Taking time to honestly explore our thoughts and feelings about life is a respected tradition in virtually every culture and faith tradition. Therapy can be pursued not only to handle problems, but also to find more meaning in life, to live with more energy and zest and to increase the joy of being alive.

Three guiding principles underscore my work with people and my own growth. Essentially, we are constantly in a state of potential for change and doing the best we can in life. In addition, I view negative thoughts and feelings that develop into anxiety, depression, and low self-worth as learned responses that serve a purpose; to cope with or protect against pain. And most importantly, happiness is a choice we can make once we have the skills to respond (instead of just react) to life's challenges.

Do you feel life is restricting you from who you really want to be for yourself, your partner and/or your family? My primary goal in therapy is to help enhance your ability to make choices.

This, in turn, allows our choices to become "building blocks" toward lasting joy for each relationship creation of our choice.
