Sessions are collaborative, engaged, and responsive to what emerges over time. We may slow down to notice an emotion, bodily response, relational pattern, or something that feels difficult to put into words, while also making room for practical concerns in your life. The work is not organized around a predetermined formula; it develops in relationship to you, at a pace that allows for both depth and meaningful change.

I listen for more than the content of what is being said—for emotion, pauses, contradictions, shifts in tone, what is communicated through the body, and the themes that begin to reveal themselves over time. Listening this way allows us to become curious about what may be present before it is fully understood or easily put into words.

I try to understand experience within the larger context of a person’s life—how relationships, history, identity, culture, and the ways we have learned to adapt shape what is happening in the present. This means making room for complexity rather than arriving too quickly at an explanation, and allowing understanding to develop through the work itself.

Psychotherapy is more than conversation. The way I listen is informed not only by clinical training, but by years of engaging deeply in my own therapeutic work. I consider that experience essential to how I show up with another person—the willingness to remain curious, open, and present with another person’s experience asks that I continue to cultivate the same relationship with my own.

I also pay attention to what happens between us. The therapeutic relationship can bring familiar expectations, protective strategies, and ways of relating into the room, giving us an opportunity to recognize them as they unfold rather than only talking about them from a distance. When useful, what emerges between us can become part of the work itself.

I believe therapy should make room for complexity without making experience unnecessarily complicated. At times our work may be reflective and exploratory; at others, direct and practical. What matters is that the work remains connected to what is actually happening in your life and responsive to what becomes possible as your relationship with yourself and others begins to change.

I offer online psychotherapy for adults and teens individually, as well as couples and families throughout California. The work may address anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD and neurodivergence, relationship and attachment patterns, identity, grief and loss, family dynamics, high-achiever pressure and over-functioning, and significant life transitions. The focus is shaped by what brings you to therapy and what becomes meaningful as our work develops.

My work is guided by curiosity, attunement, and respect for the complexity of each person’s experience. I value psychological depth without losing sight of the realities of everyday life, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rather than one in which the therapist holds all the answers. I am interested in helping you develop greater recognition, agency, and capacity to remain in genuine relationship with your own experience.

I offer LGBTQIA+ affirming psychotherapy grounded in respect for each person’s identity, relationships, and lived experience. Our work can make room for questions of identity, belonging, intimacy, family, minority stress, and the ways social and cultural environments shape experience—without treating identity itself as something to explain or resolve.

My private-pay fee is $350 for individual psychotherapy and $450 for couples psychotherapy. These fees reflect my professional background, clinical training, and experience across both mental health and wellness settings. I also work with select insurance plans through Headway, an independent platform that manages insurance eligibility, billing, and claims for my practice. Coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan and can be confirmed through Headway before beginning therapy. For clients paying privately, I can provide a written estimate of anticipated costs before care begins, in accordance with federal requirements. I’m happy to discuss fees, insurance, and the available payment pathways during our initial consultation.
