Weekly therapy
What working together looks like.
Sessions are one on one, by secure video, for adults who are physically in California at the time we meet.
What we'll actually do
Trauma is the center of my work, including complex and long-standing trauma. You don't have to retell everything for it to change. I move at your pace, and we build steadiness before we go anywhere hard.
Most people arrive with a good understanding of themselves already. You've read the books, maybe done therapy before, and you can explain your patterns better than most professionals. So we spend less time on explaining and more on what changes you.
Depending on what's going on, that can include EMDR and the Flash Technique (I'm trained in both), parts work, somatic practices, and plain, direct conversation. We'll decide together, and I'll tell you why I'm suggesting what I'm suggesting. You can say no to anything.
We often end with a small practice to try during the week, usually five minutes or less.
Who I see
- Adults with trauma, including complex trauma, whose coping is breaking down: burnout, anxiety, irritability, shutdown, sleep, relationships
- Gifted and twice-exceptional people, including those identified as ADHD or autistic as adults
- Trauma and complex trauma, including the kind that shows up as perfectionism and over-responsibility
- Therapists, supervisors and leaders who need their own therapist
- Older adults facing questions about meaning, loss and what's next
I'm queer-affirming and neurodivergent-friendly. Consensual non-monogamy and other relationship structures are welcome without explanation.
I'm not the right fit for active suicidality, a need for psychiatric medication management, or court-ordered treatment. If that's you, I'll help you find the right help.

Right now I work privately, which means you pay me directly and I'm not in network with any plan. I can give you a monthly receipt, called a superbill, that you can submit to your plan for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Coverage varies, so check with your plan. Medi-Cal is in progress. If you have it, ask me where that stands.
Payment is by card on file, charged after each session. Please cancel or reschedule by 3:00 PM the day before. Late cancellations and missed sessions are charged at the full fee. If something truly unexpected happens, tell me and I'll consider it.
Under federal law, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of what your care will cost. I'll give you one before we begin.
Practical things
- Where: secure video. You need to be in California during session, in a private spot with a steady connection. If it drops, I'll call you.
- When: I keep a limited caseload, so evening availability is limited. We'll find out on the call whether my openings match your schedule.
- Between sessions: I don't do crisis response. For urgent needs, call or text 988 or go to your nearest emergency room.
