Courage doesn’t happen when you have all the answers. It happens when you are ready to face the questions you have been avoiding your whole life.
Shannon L. Alder
Doing the inner work, dealing with difficult situations, and talking about experiences you’d rather forget will never be easy.
This is why I want you to have an exceptional experience that supports your healing, growth, and ability to live with more freedom and joy.
You’re not another paperwork or caseload.
You are human.
Forge your path. Embrace your healing.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Emotions can sometimes feel like a rollercoaster, bringing both pain and joy. But guess what? You’re not flying solo!
Whether you’re sorting through your past or dreaming about your future, I’m here to help you land right where you need to be.
I’ve had the privilege of working with people from all walks of life and am proudly LGBTQ-affirming.
Let’s make space for what matters to you and work together to reach your goals with a whole lot of heart.
COUPLES THERAPY
I’m here for couples no matter where you are in your relationship—whether you're gearing up for the big "I do," just hitched, working through a rough patch, or dealing with a split.
The goal is to help you and your partner deepen your connection, enhance your communication skills, and navigate the inevitable ups and downs of your relationship with compassion and understanding.
Together, we can work towards creating a stronger and more resilient partnership.
TELEHEALTH SESSIONS
I want to make therapy as easy and convenient as possible for folks all over California, so I offer sessions via teletherapy.
That means you can join our sessions from anywhere that suits you—your living room, a cozy café, or wherever you’re most comfortable.
We’ll use a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform for our video chats, so you can relax knowing your privacy is in good hands.
Let’s make getting the support you need straightforward and stress-free!

What’s the investment?
Individual and telehealth sessions are available at $180 for a 45/50-minute session, tailored to your unique needs and journey.
For couples or family sessions, the investment is $240 for a 45/50-minute session, focusing on enhancing communication and unity.
We strive to make therapy a positive and transformative experience, blending reliability with a warm, therapeutic approach.
Let’s talk about insurance
Being an out-of-network provider, I don't bill insurance directly for treatment. Still, your insurance may cover my services.
With a PPO, I can provide a "super bill" that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
This bill is a detailed payment record with service codes and my license number. Private payments offer more privacy and control.
I also accept Lyra Health.

What to ask your insurance provider
Do I have coverage for an out-of-network mental health provider?
What is my deductible?
What is my co-insurance payment?
How many sessions do I get per year?
Do I need authorization for my sessions? What details do I need to submit a Superbill?
What is a Sliding Scale? How can this help me?
To help make therapy more accessible, I keep some spots open for clients needing financial flexibility. If my full fee is too much, a sliding scale based on income could be an option.
Please reach out with any questions. If I can't accommodate you, I’m happy to refer you to another excellent therapist who can provide the care you need.
