OFFERING SECURE VIDEO SESSIONS STATEWIDE
Online Therapy in California
Somatic and relational therapy via secure video. Based in Santa Monica, available throughout California.
Care That Fits Your Life
Online therapy offers consistent support without the commute. For people in demanding roles, parents and caregivers, and those building careers or companies, it removes one more thing from the logistics pile.
Many clients appreciate the privacy and comfort of meeting from home or a private office. Others are navigating health challenges, mobility constraints, or travel schedules that make in-person sessions impractical. Online therapy ensures continuity of care even when life gets complicated.
Whether you're logging in from a private office, a hotel room, or a quiet corner of your home, therapy can fit your life rather than competing with it.
Does Somatic Therapy Work Online?
Yes. We use practices that translate well to video: orienting to your environment, noticing breath and posture, micro-movements, and skills for recognizing and settling activation.
You'll set up your space so your system can relax and engage. Many clients keep a comfortable chair, a blanket, or a glass of water nearby. I'll guide you in making adjustments so sessions feel as supportive as possible.
There's actually an advantage to online work: you're practicing regulation skills in the same environment where you'll use them. That can make it easier to carry what we do in session into daily life.
I completed the full three-year Somatic Experiencing certificate program and continue to study with Dr. Peter Levine. That training translates fully to online/telehealth sessions. The attunement, pacing, and attention to what's happening in your nervous system don't require being in the same room.
How Online Therapy Compares to In-Person Sessions
Research shows that online therapy is as effective as in-person sessions for anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. Some clients find it more effective because they're in their own environment, which can help them feel more at ease.
Consistency is often easier when there's no commute or parking to navigate. For people with demanding schedules or unpredictable travel, online therapy helps maintain momentum without interruption.
What We Can Address Online

Who This Work Helps
This work tends to fit people managing demanding roles, family responsibilities, or the demands of building something. They value consistency and privacy, and want support that fits into a full life rather than adding to the load.
Most have tried therapy before. They're not looking for someone to tell them what to do. They want a collaborator who understands the pace they're moving at and can help them find steadiness without asking them to slow down their whole life.
