Frequently Asked Questions

I work with teens (13+) and adults. I welcome people from all walks of life, and I love helping people learn to love themselves.

Many of my clients are middle-aged women & moms, and often navigating a transition like perimenopause or becoming an empty-nester.

My services are available in-person in Santa Cruz County, and online across California. 

$200 per 50-minute individual session

$250 per 50-minute couples session

Sliding-scale spots are available on a limited basis.

Cash, check, and credit card are accepted payment methods.

Services may be covered in full or in part by your health insurance plan. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions:

• Do I have outpatient mental health insurance benefits?

• What is my deductible and has it been met?

• How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?

• What is the coverage amount per therapy session?

• Is approval required from my primary care physician?

I am currently in-network with the following insurances:

• AETNA

• Healthnet (with MHN only)

• Alliance/Carelon/Medi-Cal

My style is direct, authentic, and real. I’m not a blank slate; I’m a real person who will sit with you through the tough stuff and celebrate the wins too. I’m here to connect with you, and help you see yourself through the lens of unconditional love.

Sessions are attuned to your needs. I use a mix of therapy modalities: Brainspotting, motivational interviewing, ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), psychodynamic, person-centered, and parts work.

If you’re the parent of a teen who wants & needs support, please contact me to book a free consultation. I’ll chat with you to confirm if it’s a good fit to move forward with an initial session.

When I work with teens, my goal is to empower them to have autonomy & informed consent, and to build a relationship of safety & trust. My teen clients appreciate that I’m easy to talk to.

I’d love to chat. Please contact me to book a free consultation.

I look forward to connecting with you and seeing how I might support you.
