Frequently Asked Questions

  • My approach is relational, intuitive, and collaborative. Sessions often feel conversational and connected — a space for healing through reflection, insight, and real relationship. Clients often find that this helps something meaningful begin to shift, both in our work together and within themselves.

    I integrate a range of approaches, including IFS, somatic work, intuitive reflections, and practical tools. I may offer insights when they arise in a way that feels aligned, while also supporting you to lead and explore at your own pace. This integrative style allows the work to unfold in a way that’s flexible, grounded, and deeply personal.

    If you're interested in more structured IFS sessions focused on parts work, you can read more in the FAQ: Do you offer specific IFS sessions?

  • Holistic therapy is about honoring the whole person: mind, body, emotions, and spirit. It considers your lived experience, culture, and values, and views healing as an unfolding process. In my approach, that means staying curious, integrating body awareness and emotional insight, and supporting you in finding self-connection and inner alignment.

  • Holistic depth therapy may be a good fit if you’re craving more than surface-level solutions. If you feel stuck, burned out, disconnected, or unsure of who you are or where you’re headed, this approach can offer support. It’s especially helpful for those navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relational conflict, or simply the weight of being human at this time. This kind of therapy helps you explore the deeper layers of your experience, honor your full self, and experience lasting change, all with curiosity and at your own pace.

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a gentle, evidence-based therapy that helps you understand and heal the different parts of yourself—those that protect, react, or carry emotional pain. Rather than pushing these parts away, IFS invites curiosity and compassion, helping you reconnect with your core Self—a calm, clear inner presence. It’s especially helpful if you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected, offering a path toward healing, clarity, and a deeper sense of wholeness.

    IFS isn’t about performing insight or putting things into neat sentences, it’s about listening in the way your system speaks.

  • Yes. For clients who want to focus more directly on IFS, I offer sessions dedicated to parts work. These are often between 50-80 minutes to allow more spaciousness. In this format, I follow IFS language and structure, slowing down to connect with the different parts of you that show up.

    You lead the way, and I support you as a guide — helping you stay with what arises, with compassion and curiosity. These sessions offer a chance to build deeper self-connection, gently and at your own pace. IFS can be especially helpful for those who want space to just be, without pressure, and to listen inwardly in a supported way.

  • Yes!

    At this time I offer therapy sessions exclusively via telehealth for anyone living in the state of California. I am based near Los Angeles, where much of my friends and family live, and also near Santa Cruz in a town called Pescadero, where I live with my husband and our fur child, Kona.

    Offering therapy virtually allows me to stay connected and accessible to clients across California while continuing to live in the places that feel like home.

  • My session fee is $220 for a 50-minute individual session.

    I am an out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance, though I am able to supply a monthly superbill, which can be submitted to your insurance for possible reimbursement.

    By paying privately, you’re able to receive therapy without needing a formal diagnosis or prior authorization. Your care remains fully confidential—free from insurance audits or session limits. This gives us the flexibility to focus on what feels most important to you, without the constraints that insurance companies may place on your care. Working outside of insurance also allows me to maintain a smaller caseload, so I can bring more presence and energy into each session.

  • I always say: just show up. You don’t need to prepare anything or have the perfect words—simply arriving as you are is more than enough. I believe in each person’s inner wisdom and that what needs to surface will find its way.

    That being said, I’m an active participant in the room. I bring curiosity and ask intentional questions to better understand who you are, why you’re here, and what you’re hoping for. The first session is about beginning to build a connection and creating a space that feels safe, collaborative, and supportive.
