Online Therapy · Santa Monica, CA

Therapy for Santa Monica & the Westside, minus the 10 and the 405

Evidence-based online therapy for OCD, anxiety, trauma, burnout, and relationships, serving Santa Monica, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Venice, and the wider Westside.

Specialist Care

Care built for creative and driven minds

The Westside is full of people paid to imagine, entertainment, tech, and creative industries where your mind is the product. Those same vivid, fast minds are fertile ground for intrusive thoughts, anxiety spirals, impostor feelings, and burnout. Evidence-based therapy gives that mind better things to do.

🎬

Industry Pressure & Burnout

Feast-or-famine careers, constant evaluation, and blurred work-life lines. We build regulation skills and address the perfectionism underneath.

💭

OCD & Intrusive Thoughts

Certified ERP for contamination, checking, "Pure O," moral scrupulosity, and relationship OCD, about 60% of my practice, and the work I know best.

🌱

Trauma & EMDR

Certified EMDR therapist for PTSD and complex trauma, in weekly sessions or accelerated intensive formats, delivered effectively by video.

How online therapy works for Santa Monica clients

Licensed in California. I hold an active California LMFT license (California Board of Behavioral Sciences, LMFT #115989), so we can work together from anywhere in the state. You simply need to be physically located in California at the time of each session.

Hours that fit Santa Monica schedules. Weekday, evening, and weekend appointments are available, so therapy fits around your work and family life instead of competing with it.

Secure video, real connection. Sessions run through a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Research consistently shows that video-delivered therapy, including ERP and EMDR, works as well as in-person care.

I see clients across Santa Monica, Venice, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Culver City, and West LA. Telehealth means your session does not depend on crossing the 405 at 5 pm, and exposures for OCD happen where the compulsions actually live: your kitchen, your car, your inbox.

🧭

A full-spectrum practice

Beyond my OCD specialty, I work with anxiety and panic, depression, trauma and PTSD (certified EMDR therapist), couples and relationship issues (Gottman Level II), sex therapy, burnout, and more.

Prefer to move faster?

EMDR, OCD/ERP, and couples intensives condense months of progress into days, popular with clients between productions, launches, or contracts who have a rare window to do deep work.

Common Questions

Therapy in Santa Monica: FAQ

Why do Westside clients choose private-pay therapy?

My practice is private pay, which many clients here choose deliberately: no diagnosis is required for care, nothing is shared with an insurance network, and treatment decisions stay between us. I provide superbills you can submit for possible out-of-network reimbursement, and I accept EAP sessions through Lyra and Modern Health.

Can therapy work around an unpredictable production or startup schedule?

Yes. I offer weekday, evening, and weekend appointments, and intensives are ideal when your schedule opens in blocks rather than in neat weekly hours.

Do I have to be in California for sessions?

Yes, licensure requires that you are physically in California during sessions. I am also licensed in Oregon, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, and Virginia if your work moves you between states.

Santa Monica, your mind deserves better than the loop it is stuck in.
