My approach to therapy might be a little different than others. Solutions and outcomes are important - we come to therapy to feel and see change. Yet, how I get there involves a deeper dive - an understanding, communing with the places in ourselves we may want to otherwise avoid.

Individual Therapy

I am a Gestalt therapist who utilizes somatic (how, what and where you are feeling) and parts theories (identifying, acknowledging and welcoming the different parts of us). My therapeutic style is creative, direct and intimate.

I’ve noticed that by going deeper and with intention into blocks, barriers, frustrations and desires we not only gather more but new information and insight. Those insistent, rigid thoughts and patterns suddenly start to look and feel different - less constricted. Space is created - breathing room and choice. Here is a place that you can create, try out, and apply new ways of relating and responding. Therapy at its best is creative, deep and active. I work from a trauma informed lens with consent at the heart of my work.

Areas of focus

Identity
Religious deconstruction
Depressive and Anxiety Disorders
Self esteem, shame and shadow work
Relational and generational trauma
Relationships (couples, families, queer identified)
Life transitions and milestones

Relationship Therapy

As a queer identified person, I have the good fortune of seeing and personally experiencing that relationship can exist in any shape we choose to create! I work with relationships in all stages and formation holding autonomy and connection, building communication and compassion, establish or reestablish trust. Areas of expertise are: coparenting, cohabiting, blended families, amicable and safe restructuring (this could be moving from a romantic partnerships to friendship, or co parents - any shift in identity and form), intentional and respectful separation.

Sessions, Fees and Insurance?

My sessions are 50 minutes.

At this time my fees are: 180/individual and 220/group, relationship, family. I am open to discussing sliding scale dependent on financial need and availability.

If your insurance permits you to work with out of network providers I can supply a receipt of services/superbill for you to submit.

Client’s have a right to a Good Faith Estimate.

Do you work in person or tele health?

I work with people in the state of California and in person, virtual and hybrid.
