Cancellations must be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid full session fee. Fees are due at time of service. While I live in Santa Cruz County and primarily serve people who live in the Bay Area, at this time all pscyhotherapy is provided via telehealth. You must be physically present in California each time you receive therapy.
Therapeutic Approach
I believe it is possible to experience a greater degree of peace, freedom, and emotional healing in life. I have seen therapy be a vital part of that journey for many people, including myself. I see my role as providing a safe, encouraging space to process the relevant impact of life’s past and present difficulties, to provide support, and to empower people as they move forward. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and am experienced in working with Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I also have experience working with individuals and families impacted by depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem, grief, faith/spirituality related issues, and navigating life transitions. I primarily utilize EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizaton & Reprocessing), ERP (Exposure & Response Prevention), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), and Experiential Therapy models, depending on the person and the life issues they are seeking therapy for. I strive to help people increase insight, create new solutions, increase ability for authentic connection with others, and develop a greater sense of self-worth.
