Therapy Services

My style is relaxed, heart-led, thoughtful, and grounded in a belief that connection within ourselves and with others is the key to healing. With a blend of humor, honesty, and social-worker-resourcefulness, I show up to each session as a real human. I honor where you are at each week and in our work together invite you to explore all the wisdom-filled and messy parts of yourself at a pace that feels right to you.

Accepting new clients in California.

  • Individual Therapy

    You don’t have to go through this alone.

    Therapy is a powerful space to tend to your whole self and tap into not just your feelings, but also your needs, history, identity, fears, and strengths. I invite you to bring your whole, complicated self to the space and leave any masks at the door. In weekly counseling together, I strive to create a space of curiosity, collaboration, and safety that is tailored to the unique needs of each person.

  • Teens & Young Adults (ages 16-25)

    I have a deep passion for and depth of experience working with adolescents. The teen and young adult years can be overwhelming, pressured, & full of questions around identity, relationships, & how to feel safe in your own skin. In therapy, we will create a soft space for you to land each week in the midst of a turbulent world and time in life. I am firmly dedicated to providing young people with space to express themselves openly and safely.

  • Conjoint/Couples Therapy

    Relationships are hard. Therapy can be the space for couples of all kinds to come together and strengthen their communication skills, unravel patterns of conflict, deepen empathy within themselves and each other, and so much more.

    I work from the lens of Emotionally Focused Therapy with couples, which prioritizes increasing emotional awareness, security, and connection within relationships. I welcome pairs of all structures (polycules, friends, chosen family, etc).

Fees

  • Free

  • $175 per 50 minute session

  • $185 per 50 minute session

  • A certain number of my slots are sliding scale and reserved for those with less economic opportunity or stability. If you’re interested in my services, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss fee during a free 15 minute phone consultation. If I’m not able to accommodate a rate that feels sustainable for you, I’m happy to provide referrals.

  • I do not accept insurance at this time. However, I am happy to provide a superbill (receipt) upon request for potential reimbursement from your insurance.

  • If you need to cancel or reschedule your session, I ask that you let me know at least 24 hours in advance. Cancellations within the 24-hour window and no-shows incur a charge at your usual session rate, except in cases of emergency or illness. I do my best to reschedule sessions within the next few business days to avoid fees, but this depends on my schedule/availability and is not always guaranteed.

  • Good Faith Estimate Notice
    You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. 

    Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.  

    You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. 

    You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. 

    If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

     For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.

I work with individual adolescents/teens and adults in California. I offer telehealth services via secure video-conferencing as well as walk-and-talk therapy at Lake Merritt. In-person sessions at new Oakland office now available Fridays.
