I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating relationships, identity, trauma, life transitions, family dynamics, and the many ways our inner lives intersect with the world around us.

Therapy does not happen in a vacuum. Our experiences are shaped by family, culture, community, gender, race, class, work, history, and the systems we live within. Our work can make room for all of it, not only what is happening inside you, but what has happened and continues to happen around you.

Money matters, and I don't believe we need to pretend otherwise.

Healthcare is broken. Therapy exists within that broken system where access is not distributed equally.

At this time, I do not accept insurance. I can provide a superbill that you may submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. Because every plan is different, I encourage you to check directly with your insurance provider about your out-of-network mental health benefits.

Limited sliding-scale spaces are available, with priority given to historically marginalized communities.

My standard individual fee is $185 per session.

My standard couples fee is $205 per session.

I'll always be transparent about fees and financial policies from the beginning. Therapy is an investment of your money, time, and energy, and you deserve to know what you're agreeing to before we begin.

Reaching out to a therapist can feel surprisingly vulnerable. You don't need to have the right words, a diagnosis, or a perfectly articulated reason for wanting therapy.

We can begin with a consultation to talk about what brings you here, what you're looking for, and whether working together feels right.

And importantly, fit goes both ways. You get to ask questions, disagree, take your time, and decide whether I am someone you want to work with. Therapy is something we enter into together.

An AMFT (Associate Marriage and Family Therapist) has completed a qualifying master’s degree and clinical training and is registered with the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. The primary difference is that an LMFT has completed the additional supervised clinical hours and licensing requirements necessary to practice independently.

As an AMFT, I provide psychotherapy while practicing under the supervision of an experienced licensed therapist. I actually see this as one of the strengths of working with an associate: you have one therapist, but your care benefits from two clinical minds. I am your therapist and our relationship is ours, while behind the scenes I have a licensed supervisor helping me think critically about my work, strengthen my clinical approach, and consider perspectives I may have missed.

My supervisor is an important part of my training and development as a therapist. I don't view supervision as simply a requirement to get through on the way to licensure. I see consultation, accountability, and continued learning as part of practicing therapy responsibly.

Credentials and therapeutic approaches matter, but so does the relationship between us.

You should be able to bring your humor, anger, uncertainty, contradictions, culture, identities, questions, and the parts of yourself that don't fit neatly into a box.

I won't assume that I understand your experience simply because I've studied something similar. I'll be curious, I'll ask questions, and sometimes I'll get things wrong. What matters is that we can talk about it.

A good therapeutic relationship should have enough trust for honesty, including honesty about the therapy itself.

Curious, honest, and deeply human. I want to know the things, the big things, the small things, the stories you think don't matter, and the parts you're still trying to understand yourself. There is nothing small about a human life. I'll listen closely, ask questions, be straightforward with you, and bring compassion, curiosity, and sometimes laughter into the room.

Therapy requires trust, and part of trust is knowing what happens with the things you share.

We'll talk openly about confidentiality, its legal limits, communication outside of sessions, boundaries, and what you can expect from me. I don't want the rules of therapy to feel mysterious or like something you were somehow supposed to already know.

Therapy also involves a real power dynamic. I believe part of practicing ethically is acknowledging that rather than pretending it doesn't exist. You are always welcome to ask why we're doing something, tell me when something doesn't sit right, or bring concerns about our work directly into the room.
