HONORING THE FIRST PEOPLE
Santa Barbara Ecotherapy is rooted in the unceded ancestral lands of the Barbareno Chumash, on the central coast of California.
We honor, respect, and give thanks for the land itself and for the Chumash people of today, their ancestors, the generations to come.
In gratitude, Santa Barbara Ecotherapy donates to Chumash causes.
Please consider deepening your understanding of the land where you live, the people of that land, their history, and the relationship between humankind and the natural world of which you are part.

About me
I provide clinical psychotherapy rooted in ecotherapy, sometimes known as nature therapy. Whether in socially-distanced outdoor sessions in Santa Barbara or in telehealth sessions across the state of California, my style is active and experiential.
All forms of Ecotherapy can be integrated into Clinical psychotherapy with the proper training, education, and experience.
Santa Barbara Ecotherapy provides this integrated experience.
