Hi, I'm Ellen, a psychotherapist who treats adults and adolescents 19 and up.

I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationships, and more. My approach is individualized to respect you and what you need or hope for in therapy. I am a marriage and family therapist with experience in school, clinic, and private practice.

Many of the women I work with grew up with high expectations & low emotional support. They learned to prioritize loyalty, achievement, or caregiving over their own needs. Over time, this can create anxiety, burnout, relationship struggles, and a deep sense of disconnection from the self. I specialize in working with women healing from abuse, emotionally unavailable parents & religious & intergenerational trauma. Many of my clients struggle with people-pleasing, guilt, perfectionism, hyper-independence, difficulty setting boundaries, or feelings of responsibility. They often know "why they are the way they are" but still feel stuck.

I believe that everyone deserves a space where they feel truly heard, understood, and supported. Life can get overwhelming, and sometimes the goals we set for ourselves feel just out of reach.

My approach to therapy is rooted in genuine connection. I’m here to help you clear the mental clutter, understand your past, rediscover your strengths, and build a practical roadmap toward the life you want to lead.

My specialties and areas of interest are: Depression and Postpartum Depression, Parenting, Anxiety, Trauma-Related Issues.

I graduated University of Denver with my Bachelors and California Lutheran University with my masters degree.

Hi, I am Annie, a licensed therapist (LMFT) and certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C) based in Santa Barbara. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating some of life's most demanding seasons — from pregnancy and postpartum to birth trauma, early parenthood, life transitions, and healing from trauma. I completed my clinical training at UCSF's Infant Parent Program and bring specialized expertise in the parent-child relationship and early childhood alongside my broader work with adults. I am also a mom of two, which means I bring both clinical depth and real lived experience to this work.
