I'm a therapist based in the Coachella Valley with a broad scope. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children navigating some of life's most difficult terrain: trauma and PTSD, anxiety and depression, substance use and addiction, family conflict, grief, anger, and the particular pressures that come with being a man in a culture that rarely teaches men how to ask for help.
I offer both in-person sessions in the valley and telehealth appointments throughout California. My approach is direct but never harsh, structured but never rigid. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy, I meet you where you actually are.

Life can feel heavy sometimes, and you don't have to sort through everything on your own. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, or a season of change, therapy can be a place to slow down and make sense of what's been coming up for you.
I work with adults who want support feeling more balance, more connected to themselves, and better able to manage the challenges in front of them. I also support women through pregnancy, postpartum, parenting, and other meaningful life transitions.

I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to process your experiences. We’ll dig deep and get “real.” My approach is collaborative and depth-oriented – I don’t just sit back and nod and smile.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Palm Springs
Searching for therapists in Palm Springs starts with finding the right fit for what you want to address. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare Palm Springs therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match your needs. Provider bios can help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or mindfulness-based therapy, and what a first session may include.
Palm Springs has a smaller local therapy market than larger California cities, so the right therapist in Palm Springs, CA may offer in-person sessions, virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in California. When narrowing your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can also help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and scheduling fit.
Therapy in Palm Springs can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists in Palm Springs who match your preferences and offer clear availability, so you can review bios, compare options, and book directly when you’re ready. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage available in Palm Springs.
