Therapists in Santa Monica, CA

Hey there! Congratulations on taking the first step to finding a therapist. It tends to be the hardest - acknowledging that things aren't going so well requires honesty, self-awareness, and humility. Or an "admittance of failure" as some might describe it. At least that's what it feels like. I assure you that you didn't fail and you're not a failure, no matter how strong those feelings might be. It's the system that's flawed; it drowns us in unrealistic expectations and superficial comparisons, causing us to feel overwhelmed, irritable, disconnected, lonely, and unfulfilled.

I believe successful therapy needs to begin with a trusting, compatible relationship between you and me. If we can establish this foundation for treatment then we can move forward to identify your strengths as a unique individual, and work to uncover and resolve the elements in your life that are preventing personal growth and a gratifying lifestyle. I provide an initial free phone consultation, and offer phone sessions. I work on a sliding scale, and am a provider for Medicare, Blue Shield, Magellan, and Humana. I am NOT a provider for Medi-Cal. I can also bill your insurance company excluding your co-pay.

Are you ready to step into a world where support goes beyond just physical or emotional pain, where every aspect of who you are is celebrated and embraced? Picture a nonjudgmental space where we talk about everything from navigating relationships to understanding yourself better. As a therapist who works with men, couples, and individuals of many ages and backgrounds, including clients with chronic pain, autism, ADHD, or neurodiversity, I'm here to be your guide on this incredible journey of self-discovery and growth. No matter who you are or what you're going through, I'm here to provide you with a warm welcome and a listening ear.
