Counseling in San Luis Obispo, CA

From the outside-looking-in your life seems to be thriving, but internally you’ve been struggling through stress and hard challenges. You’re feeling blocked, stagnant, isolated, and alone. You may be carrying the burden of difficult emotions, grief, relational conflicts, trauma, or distress that few seem to understand. For too long, you’ve pushed through without meaningful support. Even though you might be putting everyone else’s needs above your own, you are now ready to take care of yourself. If you are ready to address relationship issues, set healthy boundaries, find meaningful healing, and break through the patterns that keep you feeling stuck and unseen, I’m here to support you. If you’re ready to quiet the inner critic, communicate authentically, experience new possibilities, cultivate more peace of mind, and move into desired growth and change, I can help. I offer counseling therapy that welcomes you in your uniqueness.  

Imagine a safe, non-judgmental space where you can work through difficulties in the company of a skilled listener. Psychotherapy is an opportunity to realize your deepest needs, explore your relationships, root out old self-limiting beliefs, and honor the profound wisdom of your emotions. In addition to addressing problems, it is also important to develop and expand on your own internal resources and desired states of being. I serve as a mirror and facilitator along your healing journey. My counseling approach is experiential, and integrative. I work with an understanding of how the brain can change in psychotherapy through specific processes. With this understanding as a foundation, we will work together to cultivate a healing brain state that has the potential to lead to tangible change.

Additionally, I hold a holistic lens that takes the whole person into consideration. Mental health is an integral part of the whole body, not just a product of what happens in the mind. Depending on your needs, incorporating multiple approaches may be helpful. You are most likely here because you are tired of suffering alone. If you’re ready to transform what no longer serves you and to tap into the inner wellspring of healing that exists inside of you, I offer counseling services in-person in San Luis Obispo, or online by telehealth anywhere in California

Finding the Right Therapist

Choosing the right support for your counseling needs is an important step. Psychotherapists have different specialties, techniques, styles of practice, and varying degrees of engagement.  Each person seeking therapy will have preferences in terms of what type of therapist is most impactful for them. You may not resonate with every counselor or therapy style. I offer an experiential style of therapy with a high level of active engagement. I am a skilled listener, but not a passive one. Let’s talk about what you need and get a preliminary sense of rapport before you invest in a session. I offer a 15-minute phone consultation to explore if this is good fit for you.
