Our brief, no-pressure free consultation is a 15-20 minute call for us to connect. You can expect a safe space to briefly discuss your concerns, ask me questions about my approach and services, and get a sense of whether we might be a good fit. I'll provide a general overview of how I can help, and we can discuss potential next steps without any obligation to continue.

Therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes in a collaborative and supportive environment focused on your goals. We'll explore your concerns, and I'll offer guidance and skill-building as needed to help you gain insight and develop coping strategies. While I provide expertise, the process is centered on your individual journey and progress, which we'll regularly check in on together.

Yes, confidentiality is paramount. What you share in our sessions is kept private and not disclosed without your written consent. However, there are legal and ethical exceptions involving suspected child or dependent adult abuse, imminent threats of serious harm to yourself or others, and court orders, which I am obligated to follow and will openly discuss with you if they arise.

Horizon For Men specializes in supporting men navigating divorce and breakups, including processing complex emotions and rebuilding their lives. We provide fatherhood guidance to address co-parenting challenges and improve relationships with children. Additionally, our couples therapy services focus on enhancing communication and resolving conflict. If you're a man dealing with these specific issues, we offer both online and in-person support, starting with a free consultation to determine the best approach

Our sessions are designed to be client-centered and adaptable to your specific needs and goals. Typically, the initial sessions involve a thorough assessment of your current situation, history, and what you'd like to achieve in therapy. This helps us create a tailored treatment plan.  In ongoing sessions, we'll delve deeper into the issues you're facing, using evidence-based therapeutic techniques to facilitate healing, growth, and change. We'll work collaboratively to identify patterns, develop coping strategies, improve communication skills, and enhance your overall well-being. My approach focuses on providing practical solutions and restoring your sense of personal power while ensuring you feel heard and understood."

Yes, absolutely. For many clients, attending sessions online offers greater convenience and accessibility, especially if you are located outside of the Santa Barbara area or find it easier to fit therapy/coaching into your schedule remotely. While my physical office is in Santa Barbara, my practice heavily skews towards online sessions, allowing me to connect with individuals and couples wherever they may be. We can discuss whether online therapy is the best option for your needs during our initial consultation.

Therapy involves exploring your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to gain deeper self-awareness, address emotional distress, and work towards healing and symptom reduction. Coaching (e.g. divorce coaching) is a forward-focused process designed to help individuals navigate the practical and emotional challenges of separation and divorce. Coaching focuses on setting goals, developing coping strategies, improving communication skills, and creating a positive path forward.

Getting started is easy. The best first step is to schedule a free 15-20 minute consultation.

I am located in Montecito, CA with offices in Santa Barbara, CA.

My standard hourly fee for individual therapy sessions is $325. For couples therapy, the hourly rate is $375. Please note that coaching services have a different fee structure based on the specific program and package you select, which we can discuss in detail during our consultation to determine the best fit for your needs and goals

As a therapist, I do not take insurance and am not on any insurance panels. Instead I produce superbills on an on-demand basis which can be submitted to insurance for reimbursement.

Depending upon whether you are interested in therapy or coaching, accepted payments will differ. Payment is typically processed at the time of service. If you have any questions or specific payment needs, please don't hesitate to discuss them with me.

Our cancellation policy respects both your time and mine. I require 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. This allows me the opportunity to offer that time to another client who may need it. If you cancel with less than 24 hours' notice or fail to attend your scheduled session, you will be responsible for the full session fee. Of course, I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, and we can certainly discuss those situations as they occur.

A typical therapy session is 50minutes and is typically weekly or bi-weekly. A coaching session may last 60-90 minutes with intermittent shorter check-ins depending on the specific program.

At times I may take some notes but this usually happens during the intake and initial sessions when working with a patient or client.
