My Specialties
Trauma
Loss, pain, and transitions are all part of what makes us human. We may suffer the unexpected passing of a loved one, childhood emotional or physical abuse, or bullying. We might experience a vehicle collision or an accident at work. Or perhaps our doctor breaks the news about a medical condition that we didn’t see coming.
Anxiety
When nerves, stress, and fear knock on your door occasionally, you might be able to let them in for a quick chat and move on. Yet, if they become persistent and hard to control, they run the risk of disrupting your life.
Pregnancy Loss and Infertility
We plan and prepare every detail to receive them with open arms. We envision them taking their first steps, growing up, and becoming their most authentic selves. We want it all to be perfect, right from the start. And while some may have a seamless family-building journey, others can encounter bumps along the way.
Insomnia
Sleep problems like insomnia can result in distress and impair your daily functioning, making you irritable and affecting your focus and decision-making. Poor sleep quality and sleep deprivation can also contribute to other mental health conditions or be a symptom of underlying health challenges.
Group Therapy
Group therapy leverages the power of community care to help you see that you are not alone in your pain. This effective treatment provides a chance to share space, learn, and grow among those going through similar hurdles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer teletherapy or online therapy?
At this time I am not paneled with any insurance carriers and take private pay only. I will provide you with paperwork that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement should your insurance provide this service.
Are your sessions confidential?
Yes! All sessions are covered under confidentiality. Records are kept for all sessions in compliance with HIPAA and State laws.
What ages do you work with?
I work with adults over the age of 18.
What if I’m nervous about trying therapy?
That’s normal and totally okay! Feel free to contact me to do a short get-to-know-you call to see if therapy is the right choice for you.
Will you prescribe medication?
Only an MD can prescribe medication in the state of California. If it seems that medication is a good option for you, I work closely with several physicians in the area and will be happy to make a referral.
