Online Therapy in Santa Monica

Online therapy for Santa Monica adults and couples, including creative and tech professionals. Your life can look healthy and balanced while the way you feel tells a different story.

What You Bring

Good routines do not explain every feeling.

You might exercise and see friends while feeling worn down or emotionally absent. Creative work can make feedback feel personal, and tech work can keep you mentally on call. A relationship may get whatever attention is left. I work with adults who want to talk about burnout without having to prove they have stopped functioning, and couples who miss feeling present with each other.

How Online Sessions Work

Make space that is not another workspace.

Secure video lets us meet without a trip across town. Choose a private room, headphones if useful, and uninterrupted time while you are in California, Arizona, or Missouri. If the connection fails, we try reconnecting or consider phone according to the backup plan we have discussed. I am licensed in California, Arizona, and Missouri. You need privacy, not an impressive setting.

How I Work

We can pay attention before you reach your limit.

Internal Family Systems helps us understand the part that keeps doing more even when another part is exhausted. Narrative therapy questions ideas about wellness or success that have become another standard to meet. Psychodynamic work connects those standards with earlier expectations. In couples sessions, Emotionally Focused Therapy helps us look at the distance that can develop when both partners are stretched thin and neither wants to ask for more.

First Steps

Before We Begin

  1. 01

    Describe the part others do not see

    In the free consultation, tell me how things feel beneath the routines. You can ask about my style before deciding.

  2. 02

    Consider what you can maintain

    We review privacy, appointment availability, and usually weekly meetings. Frequency can be discussed according to the needs of the work.

  3. 03

    Check payment details

    Therapure is private pay and provides superbills for possible reimbursement. Rates explains the complete cancellation policy, including 48 hours of notice.

Questions

About Online Sessions

Do I need to be visibly burned out to begin?
No. Feeling distant, irritable, or persistently tired can be worth discussing even if you are still meeting responsibilities. Consultation helps us assess fit.
Can I choose an office appointment instead?
My in-person office is in Manhattan Beach, not Santa Monica. We can discuss that option and changing formats, depending on availability.
Will you give me another routine to follow?
We first try to understand what is happening for you. My approach is a partnership, not a checklist of things you should already be doing.
