My Approach to Therapy
I use a respectful, non-judgmental approach in helping individuals navigate many of life's challenges, including relationships, communication, anxiety, self-worth, shame, neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism), chronic pain and chronic illness, as well as medical trauma, intimacy, sex, and sexuality. I am an EMDR certified clinician and offer weekly EMDR sessions, intensive sessions, as well as adjunct EMDR with your primary talk therapist.
My Practice & Services
I offer remote Telehealth sessions within California. Telehealth, video, or phone sessions, allow for easy accessibility and convenience for many folks. My standard fee for a 50-minute therapeutic hour is $245, and $365 for 80-minutes.
Specific Issue(s) I'm Skilled at Helping With
I am adept in helping people be open to experience more satisfying relationships and positive communication. I am kink affirming and knowledgable, LGBTQ+ inclusive, sexual and gender minority inclusive, and a sex positive provider.
As an EMDR certified clinician, I help folks process anxiety, fear, trauma, shame, and limiting beliefs.
I also focus on chronic pain issues, chronic illness, and how emotional pain can increase (or even cause) physical symptoms.
On the Fence About Going to Therapy?
Do some research, and give it a shot. Keep in mind that therapy is a process, and a good relationship with your therapist is essential. It is important to feel safe and comfortable with the person you choose. I offer free consultation with potential clients over the phone.
