What I offer

Therapy services for lasting change

All services are available in-person at my Lafayette office or via secure telehealth for clients anywhere in California.

Core Service

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions designed around you — your history, your nervous system, your pace. I don't apply a single method to everyone. Instead, I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches to meet you where you are and help you move toward genuine change.

For most clients, we spend meaningful time in preparation before processing difficult memories or patterns. This isn't avoidance — it's good therapy. Real healing requires a foundation of safety and internal resources first.

─ Trauma and PTSD (including complex trauma)
─ Anxiety, worry, and fear
─ Depression and low mood
─ Life transitions and identity
─ Emotion regulation difficulties
─ Stress and burnout

Individual Therapy

$250

per 50-minute session

In-person in Lafayette or secure telehealth. 90-minute sessions available when deeper processing is needed. A limited sliding scale is available — inquire directly.

Couples

Couples Counseling

Relationships are one of the most meaningful — and most demanding — aspects of our lives. Whether you're navigating communication breakdown, trust repair, major life transitions, or a general sense of disconnection, couples therapy can help you build something stronger.

I work with couples at all stages. Some are in crisis; others simply want to deepen an already good connection. I use an attachment-based approach that focuses on understanding each partner's underlying needs, not just resolving surface-level conflict.

─ Communication and recurring conflict
─ Trust and repair after betrayal
─ Attachment and emotional intimacy
─ Navigating major life changes together
─ Premarital counseling
─ Blended families and parenting alignment

Couples Counseling

$275

per 60-minute session

Both partners attend sessions. In-person in Lafayette or telehealth. I work with couples of all types, backgrounds, and relationship structures.

Specialized

EMDR Therapy

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, research-backed approach for processing traumatic memories and distressing experiences. I completed my EMDRIA-approved basic training with Dr. Phillip Manfield in Berkeley and have been using EMDR since 2017.

EMDR doesn't require you to talk in detail about traumatic events. Instead, it works with the way the nervous system stores and processes memory — helping the brain finally do what it couldn't do in the original moment. Many clients are surprised by how much can shift in relatively few sessions.

─ Single-incident traumas (accidents, assault, loss)
─ Complex and developmental trauma
─ PTSD and trauma symptoms
─ Phobias and panic
─ Performance anxiety
─ 90-minute intensive sessions available

EMDR Therapy

$250

per 50-minute session

90 minute EMDR intensive - $375

Standard EMDR is offered in 50-minute sessions. For clients ready for deeper processing work, 90-minute intensive sessions are available — particularly effective for EMDR's active processing phases.

Specialized

Therapy for Anxiety

Anxiety isn't just worry — it's often a deeply wired response to experiences that taught you the world wasn't safe. Understanding those roots is the key to lasting change, rather than just managing symptoms in the moment.

We'll work to understand what's driving your anxiety, build internal resources and regulation skills, and gradually reduce the anxiety's grip on your day-to-day life — so you can live with more ease, confidence, and presence.

─ Generalized anxiety and chronic worry
─ Social anxiety
─ Panic attacks and panic disorder
─ Health anxiety
─ Performance and perfectionism anxiety
─ OCD-related patterns

Anxiety Therapy

$250

per 50-minute session

Individual 50-minute sessions. I use EMDR, IFS, CBT/DBT, and mindfulness-based techniques depending on what your anxiety calls for.

Specialized

Therapy for Depression

Depression often has roots that talk therapy alone doesn't reach. Beneath the low mood, the withdrawal, the numbness — there are often unprocessed experiences, unmet needs, and internal patterns that have never been seen clearly.

Using a combination of approaches, we work to uncover and address those underlying patterns — not just give you coping tools to get through another week. Many people are surprised that depression can actually lift, not just become manageable.

─ Persistent low mood and emptiness
─ Loss of motivation or meaning
─ Grief and complicated loss
─ Depression related to trauma history
─ Postpartum depression
─ Existential depression and life transitions

Depression Therapy

$250

per 50-minute session

Individual sessions drawing on EMDR, IFS, and existential-humanistic approaches. I work collaboratively with psychiatrists when medication is also part of the picture.

Parenting

Parenting Support

Parenting is one of the most demanding roles we take on — and one of the most likely to bring up our own unresolved material. The way we were parented lives in us, and it shapes how we parent without our always knowing it.

I support parents in building stronger connections with their children, navigating difficult behaviors, and managing their own emotional reactivity. This work often includes elements of individual therapy for the parent alongside practical parenting strategy.

─ Managing your own emotional reactivity
─ Navigating children's difficult behavior
─ Supporting children through family transitions
─ Working with teens
─ Postpartum adjustment for parents
─ Parenting children with special needs or neurodiversity

Parenting Support

$250

per 50-minute session

Individual sessions focused on you as a parent. I also have experience working with adolescents and can work with families when appropriate.

Telehealth

Online Therapy Statewide

All of the services I offer in person are available via secure video for clients anywhere in California. Telehealth isn't a lesser version of therapy — for many people, it's actually preferable, offering flexibility and the comfort of connecting from home.

I use a HIPAA-compliant platform. Sessions are exactly the same length and quality as in-person work, and EMDR is fully available via telehealth as well.

─ All services available — individual, couples, EMDR
─ HIPAA-compliant video platform
─ Flexible scheduling
─ Available to California residents anywhere in the state
─ Same rates as in-person sessions

Online Therapy

Statewide

Same rates as in-person

Available to anyone in California. Individual sessions at $250 and couples sessions at $275 per 50-minute session.
