Take the First StepDepth-Oriented Therapy for Mind and Body
I offer individual therapy and Brainspotting group therapy, both grounded in depth-oriented, nervous-system-informed care. The modalities shift based on what's emerging. The relationship stays steady.
Individual TherapyOne-on-One, at Your Pace
One-on-one sessions tailored to your history, your nervous system, and what you're working through. We move at your pace: weekly, bi-weekly, or as-needed.
This isn't about fixing what's wrong with you. It's about helping your nervous system access more choice. If any of these resonate, we might be a good fit.
Anxiety that won't quit
Unresolved or developmental trauma
Attachment patterns affecting your relationships
Complex PTSD
Relationship dynamics that keep repeating
People-pleasing and difficulty with boundaries
Identity and self-worth
Feeling stuck despite insight and self-awareness
“I don’t sugarcoat, but I lead with care.”
Brainspotting GroupBrainspotting Group Therapy
Brainspotting Group Therapy for Self-Love and Secure Attachment is a weekly online group grounded in the depth of Brainspotting and the relational power of being seen. Something shifts when you do this work in the presence of others who are also prioritizing care, growth, and connection.
This isn't group therapy in the traditional sense. No one will ask you to share your story out loud. Each person does their own internal processing while the group holds space. Pacing, choice, and safety guide every session.
Sessions are 60 minutes, $97 per session. Online, limited group size, weekly with flexible attendance. No previous Brainspotting experience required.
How I workTherapeutic Modalities
I don't use just one approach. I pull from multiple evidence-based modalities based on what the moment calls for.
PrimaryBrainspotting
A powerful, brain-body approach that accesses unprocessed trauma and emotional material by using your visual field to locate and process "brainspots" — points where the body holds activation. It bypasses the thinking brain to access what talk therapy often can't reach.
PrimaryACT, CBT & DBT
Evidence-based frameworks that build concrete skills — identifying thought patterns, developing distress tolerance, and learning to act from your values rather than your anxiety. I draw on these as needed, woven into the deeper relational work.
IntegrativeInternal Family Systems
IFS works with the "parts" of you — the protector who people-pleases, the inner critic that won't shut up, the exile carrying old pain. We get to know them, understand their role, and help them update to the present.
IntegrativeSomatic Approaches
Your body keeps the score. Somatic work means paying attention to what your nervous system is doing — the tightness, the numbness, the activation — and using that information as a doorway into deeper processing.
The Practical DetailsWhat to Expect
I see clients via telehealth throughout California. Sessions are custom tailored to your needs, and we'll find a rhythm that works for your life and your goals.
Sessions are conversational and relaxed, while still being intentional and clinically guided. You'll always know what we're working on and why.

FormatOnline via secure telehealth • California residents
Many clients combine both: Brainspotting Group Therapy weekly, plus individual sessions as needed. This is a flexible, accessible way to stay consistent with the deeper work while having individual support available when you need it. You may choose to attend the Brainspotting group by itself or include individual therapy as part of your overall treatment, depending on what feels most supportive for you.
All sessions via Telehealth, California

Common questionsFAQ
How much does therapy cost?
Individual sessions are $325 per 45-minute session. Brainspotting Group Therapy is $97 per 60-minute session. I'm transparent about fees because I believe you should know what to expect before we start.
Do you take insurance?
I'm an out-of-network provider, but I work with Mentaya to help you get reimbursed by your insurance. Most clients with out-of-network benefits recover 60–80% of session costs. I'll provide everything you need to submit claims easily.
What happens in the first session?
We talk. I want to understand what brought you here, what you've tried, and what feels stuck. We'll talk about your goals and I'll share how I'd approach the work. By the end, you'll know whether this feels like the right fit, and so will I.
What's the initial consultation like?
It's a brief conversation, about 15 minutes. We'll talk about what you're looking for and I'll let you know whether I can help. If we're not the right match, I'll do my best to connect you with someone who is.
