Support tailored to your life and relationships
Therapy can help you feel less alone with what you’re carrying, and more connected to your values, strengths, and preferred ways of being, at your pace, in a grounded and respectful space.
Individual Therapy
A space to explore stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and the stories shaping your identity, so you can move toward what matters most to you.
Couples Therapy
Support for communication, conflict patterns, trust, and relationship transitions, centered on collaboration, respect, and understanding what the relationship is up against.
Family Therapy
A grounded way to work with family stressors, roles, and relationship dynamics, making space for each person’s experience while strengthening connection.
EMDR
EMDR can support trauma processing and reduce distress connected to past experiences. We’ll determine together whether EMDR is a fit and how to proceed safely and thoughtfully.

General Information
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. I am in-network with Aetna and Medicare.
I also work with private-pay clients and can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement when applicable.
What is your fee?
My fee is $250 per 50-minute session.
For clients using Aetna or Medicare, coverage and out-of-pocket costs depend on your specific plan. I'm happy to answer general questions during a consultation.
How often do clients typically meet?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions. Over time, some choose to adjust frequency based on their needs and the nature of the work. This is decided collaboratively.
Do you offer in-person or virtual sessions?
I offer in-person sessions in El Segundo as well as telehealth sessions for clients located in California.
We can discuss which format feels like the best fit based on your preferences and circumstances.
How long does therapy last?
There's no predetermined timeline. Some clients work with me around a particular transition or concern; others choose longer-term work.
My approach is not brief or manualized, but it is oriented toward meaningful change rather than open-ended exploration.
Do you work with couples?
Yes. I work with couples who are interested in thoughtful, depth-oriented relationship work.
My approach is collaborative and non-pathologizing, and is often a good fit for couples navigating life transitions, identity shifts, communication breakdowns, or the impact of stress, trauma, or midlife change on their relationship.
Questions?
If you’re unsure where to start, that’s okay. The best next step is often a brief conversation about what you’re hoping for and what support could look like.
