Do you offer in-person therapy and what areas do you serve?
My practice is fully online via secure video. I work with women throughout the state of California. As long as you are physically located in California at the time of our sessions, we can work together.
What can I expect from the first session - and how is it different from ongoing therapy?
The first session is a 90-minute intake. I ask alot of questions - about your history, family, relationships, medical background, work, and the experiences that have shaped you. It’s thorough on purpose. I want a clear understanding of what we’re working with so our sessions are focused and effective.
After that, ongoing sessions are 50 minutes. Most clients begin meeting weekly, especially at the start. Depending on your goals, needs, and the pace of progress, we may adjust frequency over time.
The work evolves as we go. Some sessions are practical and skill-focused. Others are more reflective. Growth isn’t always linear, but over time the patterns shift.
What makes therapy with you worth the investment?
My training at UCLA and years of experience in psychiatric hospitals and community mental health settings mean I don’t guess. I’ve built a specialty practice grounded in real clinical experience and focused expertise.
At this level of investment, you deserve therapy that is intentional, discerning, and guided by someone who knows how to move the work forward. When you’re willing to do your part, the process becomes powerful.
Do you work with transgender women or LGBTQ+ clients?
Yes. I work with women across a range of identities and experiences, including transgender women and LGBTQ+ clients.
While my practice is not specifically focused on gender-affirming therapy, I provide an affirming, respectful space for anyone who identifies as a woman and is seeking support around anxiety, trauma, self-worth, relationships, or life transitions.
Do you accept insurance?
My private practice operates on a self-pay basis. This allows me to maintain a small, focused caseload and provide highly individualized care.
I do have a limited number of insurance-based openings through a separate platform. If you’d like to explore that option, you’re welcome to contact me for more information.
How do I get started?
It begins with a free consultation, which you can schedule through my secure client portal. You can choose phone or video.
We’ll briefly discuss what you’re seeking and determine whether we’re a good clinical fit. If so, we’ll schedule your first session, which is a 90-minute intake.
How are payments handled?
A credit card is required to secure scheduled sessions. With the exception of the free consultation, sessions are charged to the card on file.
What is your cancellation policy?
Sessions are reserved exclusively for you. I require 24 hours’ notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations or missed appointments are charged the full session fee.
