Nathan has done a really great job at making the whole experience of beginning therapy incredibly easy, enjoyable, and accessible. I had been putting therapy off for a long time , largely to anxiety and stress about finding the right therapist and being vulnerable to someone I don’t know. Nathan has made this journey so much easier and more comfortable than I thought it would be. I have only had a few sessions so far, but I am already anticipating continuing for a long run. Thank you-
More about Nathan
- 7 years' experience

- LMFT
Hello! I am a 50+ year old man who is licensed in California with 7 years of professional work experience. (Being a therapist was a lifelong goal but a career shift that I made in my mid-40's.)
I have a broad range of experience working with couples, individuals, and groups. My expertise is in somatic psychotherapy, which includes nurturing the connection between mind and body. I also have tools, resources and experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, lgbtq+ related issues, relationship issues, & intimacy related issues. I also have experience working with compassion fatigue. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
I don’t like to assign homework between sessions, but I feel strongly that if you’re only “doing therapy” for one hour each week, then results will not be surprising. For that reason, I help my clients find ways to take the work of therapy into their day-to-day lives and make it part of their overall self-care routine.
Personally, I prefer meeting my clients via video sessions, especially in the early stage of therapy when we are getting to know each other. However, I'm open to other forms of working together once we have established some protocol for communication.
When I'm not working, I enjoy brisk walks at the beach near my home, and playing with my four-year-old canine companion. Please feel free to ask any questions that would help you to determine whether we could be a good match together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
