Whether you are looking to address trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, or life transitions, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs.

Question 2

Who Are Your Ideal Clients?

Accepted Answer

I specialize in working with high-functioning, thoughtful adults over 35 who are seeking depth and transformation.

If you are looking for a therapist who is warm, honest, and truly engaged, you may feel right at home here.

Question 3

Do You Work With Trauma and Complex PTSD?

Accepted Answer

Yes, trauma work is at the heart of my practice. I specialize in helping clients heal from complex PTSD, developmental trauma, and single-event trauma. Whether you experienced childhood abuse, emotional neglect, medical trauma, or other overwhelming experiences, therapy with me can help you process those wounds safely and compassionately.

Question 4

What Should I Expect in the First Therapy Session?

Accepted Answer

The first session is about getting to know you, your story, your struggles, and your hopes for therapy. We will discuss your background, what brought you to therapy, and what you would like to change or explore. I will answer any questions you have about my process, and we will begin building a foundation of trust. Therapy is collaborative; you are in control of the pace, and I am here to walk alongside you.

Question 5

Do You Offer Online Therapy in California?

Yes, I provide online therapy for residents of California using a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.

Online therapy can be especially helpful for those managing chronic illness, busy schedules, or mobility challenges.
