What clients do you work with?

I work with children, teens, adults, and families. Every person and family is unique, so I adapt my approach to meet your needs. Whether you’re navigating middle school meltdowns, adult burnout, or family chaos, we’ll work together to understand what’s going on, and I’ll help you figure out what actually works for you, not just what sounds good in theory.

What are your session fees?

Individual sessions: $175
Family sessions (two or more participants): $210
Group therapy sessions: $75 per person, per session.

How do I pay?

I accept cash, checks, or credit and debit cards. Payment is due at the time of your session unless we’ve made another arrangement in advance.

Do you take insurance?

Not directly, but hear me out. While I’m considered an out of network provider, I’m happy to help you contact your insurance company to check for reimbursement options. If your plan allows it, I’ll provide a Superbill (a detailed receipt) you can submit for partial reimbursement.

What if I don’t have insurance coverage?

I offer sliding scale fees on a limited basis for clients experiencing financial hardship. This means we work together to find a reduced rate that makes therapy sustainable for you.

You’re also entitled to a Good Faith Estimate under the No Surprises Act, which outlines the estimated costs of therapy so you’ll never be caught off guard by hidden fees or unexpected bills. Transparency is key, and I want therapy to feel safe in every sense, including financially.

What are your hours?

Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. I can occasionally accommodate weekend sessions if we plan ahead.

Do you offer telehealth sessions?

Yes. I provide secure virtual therapy for clients anywhere in California. It’s a great option if you prefer meeting from home or have a packed schedule. Or if you’re like me, and hate dealing with traffic.

Why did you become a therapist?

I became a therapist because some roles find you before you fully understand them, and being someone others can count on has always been one of mine. I pay attention to the things most people miss. The patterns underneath behavior. The emotions that show up before there are words for them. The roles people take on in relationships without ever realizing it or meaning to. That kind of attunement has always come naturally to me, and so has the desire to actually do something about it.

A lot of that came from growing up neurodivergent in a family that could feel unpredictable. As the oldest sibling, I learned early how to read the room, hold space, and make sense of emotional dynamics that were often complicated and rarely spelled out. It shaped how I understand people at a deeper level than what's just on the surface.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked in film and television, because I have always loved storytelling and the way a character you relate to can make your own experience feel less alone. As a production assistant, my favorite part was being the person others could lean on and rely on when they needed it most. But what I really wanted was to help people through the complexity of it all.

Families are complicated. School is complicated. Divorce is complicated. Grief is complicated. Being neurodivergent is complicated. Anxiety is complicated. Depression is complicated. Emotions are complicated. A lot of what we carry every day is hard. Sometimes it can feel like you're trying to move forward while carrying more than you ever meant to, like something keeps getting added without you noticing. I want to be someone who helps make that feel a little less hard to carry.

What I care about most in this work is helping people understand not just what is happening, but why it keeps happening, and giving them a space where they can feel more grounded, more understood, and more like themselves.

Becoming a therapist wasn’t about “fixing” people. It was about offering what I know can be difficult to find: a space where someone feels understood without having to perform, explain everything perfectly, or minimize what they’re going through.

Most Importantly… Where do I park?

The office has a small parking lot. If it’s full, you can park on 21st or 24th and walk up the hill, or find parking across PCH.
