1 Getting Started

If you're navigating emotional pain, relationship difficulties, or a major life transition, therapy can help. And you don't need a problem to come, many people come to understand themselves more deeply, grow, and build a fuller life. Whatever brings you, this is a space for it.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other. We start wherever you are: some people want to share their story first, others are ready to dive straight into the work. We follow what feels right for you. It's also your chance to ask questions and see how it feels to sit together.

Yes! I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. It's a chance to connect, ask questions, and get a feel for my approach, with no obligation, just a first conversation to see if we're a good fit.

2 Sessions & Scheduling

I offer both. In-person sessions are at my office in Atwater Village, Los Angeles, and virtual sessions are available from wherever you are. I work with people around the world: therapy for California residents, and coaching internationally for healing, growth, performance, and psychedelic preparation and integration, drawing on modalities including Brainspotting, IFS, and somatic approaches. Many clients mix in-person and virtual depending on the week.

Standard sessions are 50 minutes, with extended 80-minute sessions available, some approaches, like Brainspotting and EMDR, can go deeper with more time. Intensive sessions are also available by request and can be any length the work calls for. Most clients begin weekly to build momentum, and as things shift, we can move to biweekly or monthly, whatever serves you best.

I ask for 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Sessions cancelled with less notice are charged the full fee. That said, life happens, if something unexpected comes up, we'll talk about it.

3 Fees & Insurance

Individual and couples sessions are 50 minutes. My fee is $275 for an individual session and $300 for a couples or relationship session. Psychedelic preparation and integration sessions are also $300. Extended 80-minute sessions are $450. Some approaches, such as Brainspotting and EMDR, often work best in longer sessions, and we can talk through what makes sense for you. Intensive sessions are available by request; fees depend on length.

Fees for psychedelic facilitation and organizing vary by scope. Please reach out and we can discuss the details.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I don't bill insurance directly. I provide superbills (detailed receipts) you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Many PPO plans offer out-of-network benefits that cover a portion of therapy costs.

I keep a number of sliding scale spots for those experiencing financial hardship, offered when available. Feel free to ask during your consultation.

I accept cash, personal checks, Venmo, Zelle, and Apple Pay. Payment is due at the time of service.

4 Approach & Offerings

I take an integrative approach, drawing from multiple evidence-based modalities including Brainspotting, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and mindfulness-based work, psychedelic therapy, attachment-based approaches, DBT and CBT. Everything is woven together to fit you, not a formula.

I specialize in trauma and PTSD, including developmental and childhood trauma, complex trauma and dissociation, along with couples and relationships, therapists and healers, attachment and codependency, ADHD, addiction, self-worth, anxiety, depression, OCD, grief and loss, life transitions and your relationship with food. I also love helping people reach toward what's possible: peak performance, creativity and personal growth.

Brainspotting is a powerful brain-body therapy that accesses the deeper, subcortical parts of the brain where trauma and emotional experiences are stored. By finding specific eye positions connected to what's held there, we can process and release these experiences in a focused, efficient way. I am Master Level trained by Brainspotting's founder, Dr. David Grand, and serve as an assistant trainer and consultant.

I offer preparation and integration therapy, helping you approach an experience with intention and translate what emerges into lasting change, as well as facilitation itself. I am a Certified Psychedelic Facilitator through the SoundMind Institute, serve as a facilitator in FDA-regulated clinical trials, and facilitate group psilocybin retreats internationally. You can read more under Psychedelic Support on my Services page.

It's a blend of practical and emotional support for clearing what no longer serves you. The things we own take up space in our minds and bodies, not just our homes, and letting go can stir up more than expected. Because I'm also a trauma therapist, I can support both sides: the hands-on organizing and the feelings that surface as you release what you've been holding onto. It can be woven into therapy or booked on its own.

Yes, in two ways. I love having therapists, healers, coaches, and facilitators as clients, people who hold space for others deserve a space of their own. I also offer consultation groups, individual mentorship, and professional education for clinicians and facilitators working in or moving toward psychedelic care.
