Neuroscience is showing us what we have known instinctually forever; that it is through nurturing relationships that healing and human growth occurs. If we have been wounded in relationship or have unresolved trauma from the past, our fear can prevent us from seeking and maintaining nurturing and safe connections with self and others. As a therapist, I consider it an honor to provide a compassionate, safe and supportive environment on your journey toward wellness.
I have worked professionally for over ten years with a training background in trauma, domestic violence, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, grief, and attachment concerns.
My approach is interactive and needs-based, drawing primarily from Family Systems, Psychodynamic, Attachment and Interpersonal Neurobiology studies in combination with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy principles. I have specialized training in The Developmental Model of Couples Therapy which integrates Attachment, Differentiation, and Neuroscience.
Important details about my practice:
I work exclusively online with clients and will continue to do so after we get through the Covid-19 pandemic.
I work out of state in a different time zone two hours ahead of CA due to being impacted by wildfires in Napa County.
My practice is fee for service only. I am no longer contracted with any insurance companies or third party payers.
My hourly fee is $150.00 per 55 minute therapy session for either individual, couples, or family therapy. Couples work typically requires at least a one hour and 15 minute session.
I offer a free consult call by appointment for prospective clients to chat about goals and to further assess if my practice is a good fit for your needs.
I am careful to screen clients to make sure my online practice is appropriate for the issues being addressed.
I recommend weekly session to start and often can step-down from weekly meetings once a good foundation for progress is made.
How long therapy takes is completely unique for each case.
If my practice is not the right fit for you I am happy to provide referrals whenever possible.
I work Monday-Thursday from 9am to 5pm PST.
