Services
CONSULTATION
Before we begin any steps in your journey I require an initial consultation. This is free and allows both of us to lay out expectations and ask clarifying questions. This time will help us determine if we are going to be a good fit for each other. Please note: I am only able to work with clients residing in California and I do not take insurance or provide superbills.
WHAT TO EXPECT:
-
15-20 minutes at no cost to you
-
Explanation of EMDR and the therapy process
-
Questions about past experiences in therapy
-
Discussion of expectations and goals
-
Screening for risk concerns
-
Discussion of my fees (Good Faith Estimate)
-
Time for you to ask me questions as well
TREATMENT PLANNING
I don’t believe there is a one-size-fits-all recipe for healing. Every person comes to therapy with a unique history, strengths, challenges, and goals, and your treatment plan should reflect that. Our first few sessions will be about getting to know each other, understanding your history and what brings you here, and identifying the experiences or patterns where you feel most stuck. From there, we’ll create a treatment plan together, with EMDR as the primary modality I use in our work.
We’ll also make space for what comes up as you begin therapy. Because while therapy can be incredibly meaningful, it can also be incredibly hard to show up for. I will be the first to acknowledge that and applaud you for taking that step. My goal is to give you a roadmap while recognizing that healing isn’t always a straight line. We can adjust our route as we go, always keeping your needs and goals at the center.
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND:
-
We also identify your strengths and resources
-
You don't need to have all the answers right now
-
It's okay to change your mind
-
Questions are always welcome
-
We will be mindful of your budget when determining length and number of sessions
-
You will complete an intake questionnaire prior to beginning treatment
TREATMENT MODALITIES
I am a certified EMDR therapist and primarily utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients work through past experiences and present-day patterns that may be keeping them stuck. My approach considers the whole person, including relational patterns, body-based responses, and the ways our experiences shape how we see ourselves and others.
Together, we explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, recognizing that many behaviors that feel unhelpful today were once ways of adapting and coping. We identify your strengths, nurture new resources, and create space for meaningful growth. Often, this is where clients begin to feel unstuck and step into unfamiliar, sometimes uncomfortable, yet exciting new territory.
In addition to EMDR and traditional talk therapy, I also draw techniques from humanistic therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Together, my clients and I explore the connection between the mind, body, and emotions and the influence they have on one another. Additionally, using tools like mindfulness, somatic exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing, and movement we strengthen the brain-body connection. Essentially, "with their powers combined", these techniques work to promote a calmer, "less nervous", nervous system, thereby decreasing symptoms of anxiety, depression, and past trauma.
I have also completed a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT), which informs my understanding of the mind-body connection and complements my holistic, trauma-informed approach to therapy. As your therapist, I strive to provide the conditions necessary to cultivate safety and whole-body healing. My hope is that by working with me, you will come to love and accept all parts of yourself and freely walk through life with vibrancy and purpose.
