I am not accepting insurance at this time. I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement if you have a PPO plan. Payment is also accepted via cash, check, Venmo, and Zelle.

The first session is about orientation — for both of us. You'll complete some brief consent forms before we meet, and then we'll spend our time getting to know each other. I'll ask questions, you'll share what feels comfortable, and together we'll figure out if we're the right fit. There's no pressure to have it all figured out before you walk in.

I draw from EMDR, CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Sandplay, Person-Centered Therapy, and Trauma-Focused approaches. I don't use a one-size-fits-all model — the approach is always tailored to you, your nervous system, and what you're working through.

Yes. I offer both in-person sessions in Santa Barbara, CA, and Telehealth sessions for clients anywhere in California. A hybrid model is also available.

That depends entirely on you and what you're working on. Some clients come for a focused period of 3–6 months. Others stay for a year or more as the work deepens. We'll check in regularly on your progress and adjust as we go — you're always in the driver's seat.

Yes. I work with teens ages 13 and up, as well as adults. For minors, I'll involve parents or guardians in the intake process and keep them informed appropriately while maintaining the confidentiality that makes therapy effective.

Honestly? You might not know until we talk. That's exactly what the free 15-minute consultation is for — no paperwork, no pressure, just a conversation to see if we click. If I'm not the right fit, I'll do my best to connect you with someone who is.
