My therapeutic style is rooted in attachment theory, which is a framework to explore how your early childhood experiences influence how you relate to others and feel a sense of security with the people you care about today.

From my experience and training working with individuals with complex and intergenerational trauma, I emphasize the importance of working in a trauma-informed manner. Instead of overwhelming the system, we intentionally focus on building your nervous system’s capacity for resiliency through learning and implementing resourcing techniques that you can use during and after sessions.

The unconscious psyche (Greek word for soul) reveals itself through dreams, synchronicities, symbol, image, song, poetry, archetype, or myth. Through focusing on this powerful therapeutic material when it arises, you can deepen your self-understanding and self-compassion—as well as integrate the unconscious into your conscious awareness & experience.

Soma comes from the Greek meaning, ‘the body living in its wholeness.’ With over a decade of experience teaching private yoga, meditation, and non-sleep deep relaxation (NSDR), or ‘Yoga Nidra,’ I welcome somatic experience and sensory wisdom into the process of psychotherapy. The body can communicate and provide insight at the level of experience that the mind might just be able to explain or label.

There is often healing in the feeling! 

When appropriate, we will engage with the wisdom of Internal Family Systems (IFS) so that you can identify and communicate the needs of the various ‘parts’ that make up the whole of you.

I am an “out-of-network” mental health provider and therefore cannot work directly with insurance companies. However, I can provide Superbills to you after each session for you to submit to your insurance company. Depending on your insurance provider and plan, you may be reimbursed by your insurance company, if “out-of-network” mental health care is covered.

Depending on availability, I may have room in my practice for sliding scale clients. These slots are based on financial need and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Yes. Currently, my private practice is 100% virtual via a secure Telehealth platform. Many clients report that they appreciate the accessibility and lack of commute provided by Telehealth therapy; however, it is important to note there are both pros and cons to Telehealth therapy. 

I recommend meeting with new clients on a weekly basis. In come cases, meeting twice monthly may be appropriate depending on your clinical goals, presenting issues, and budget. We can discuss what would work best for you in your initial consultation session.

I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT #139516) and Registered Associate Professional Clinical Counselor (APCC #13859) with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS). 

I received my Masters in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute with an Emphasis in Depth Psychology.

The best and most effective way to determine if we are a good fit is to schedule a first therapy session. This allows you to get a sense of my style and what it is like to work with me.

Generally, it takes about 3 to 6 sessions for us to build a strong therapeutic alliance. During these initial sessions, I will be able to get a comprehensive and holistic sense of your history, background, and goals for therapy.

I am available for a brief phone call or video chat so we can say hello, go over logistics, and schedule our first session. You can fill out the Therapy Request Form here.
