About

Santa Monica Therapy is passionate about instilling long-term change. We believe that much emotional pain stems from difficulties in developing or maintaining fulfilling relationships. Therefore, we examine relational dynamics, ways of relating, and impact on others. We openly explore clients' feelings toward the therapist, encouraging individuals to experience authenticity with others, and ultimately, with themselves.

We specialize in working with individuals with a history of trauma. This work involves grieving what is lost, fostering interpersonal safety, and reclaiming one's life through reconnecting to that which gives one meaning. We are also passionate about the impact of culture and spirituality and how they shape the psyche.

Psychotherapy can help you feel better while also increasing your understanding of the origin and function of symptoms.  Psychotherapy can be intimidating and involve hard work, but it has the potential for being rewarding, beneficial, and meaningful given the right match with a therapist!

Our offices are located in Santa Monica. Many clients come from Santa Monica, West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades, Ocean Park, Westwood, Culver City, Venice, and the San Fernando Valley. Cost-effective, sliding scale services are available.
