Are you fed up with suffering?
You're exhausted and overwhelmed.
​
You feel uneasy and perpetually dissatisfied.
Your mind is constantly spinning about events that may happen in the future or you're rehashing the past.
​
Your body feels constricted all the time. Your chest feels tight, your jaw is tense, or your shoulders and neck are always in pain.
​
You find yourself impatient and angry with the people you love the most.
​
You have persistent thoughts that bully you, tell you you're not good enough, and you can't get relief from this mental chatter.
​
​
​
Peace is possible for you.
You can feel calm, content, connected to those around you, and excited about life again.
​
You can make decisions more easily and feel confident.
​
You can discover that nothing is actually missing or lacking.
​
You can feel more carefree and joyful.​​​​​​

Life’s challenges don’t have to define you. By creating space to explore your inner world, you can uncover a sense of calm and strength that’s already within you. Together, we’ll navigate the uncertainty, helping you approach life with greater clarity, ease, and purpose.
Hi, I'm
Dr. Goldyne.
I'm a licensed psychologist in California (PSY28343) and a long-time Santa Barbara resident. I see clients in-person and via telehealth from my office on the Mesa. I've trained since 2005 at several local agencies, non-profits, a university counseling center, and in the private practice setting. Since 2016, I've been licensed and practicing independently. I have specialties in parent-infant mental health, child development, and the college/university population.
​
​I strive to utilize the best research evidence to address your unique and specific needs. I draw upon Loch Kelly's Effortless Mindfulness, meditation practices, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as somatic techniques to address the connection between the body and mind.
​
We'll work together to turn toward your inner world with curiosity and kindness. We’ll explore the patterns and challenges that keep you stuck, and I’ll support you in uncovering a deeper sense of clarity and calm. My approach is grounded in helping you connect with your true self, so you can meet life’s changes with confidence and create a meaningful path forward.
