Your Questions, Answered

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or schedule a call for a free 15 min consultation.

  • You can reach me anytime via our contact page or email. I aim to respond quickly—usually within two business days

  • I offer virtual sessions. My virtual "office" is a secure, HIPAA-compliant space, so you can join from the comfort of your home anywhere in California

  • Individual sessions are $200/hr. Feel free to reach out for sliding scale availability!

    This rate is for out of pocket costs, meaning out of insurance coverage. See “Services” page for more details.

  • I am currently in network for:

    • Medi-cal

    • Medicare Part B

    • Empathia EAP

    • AllOne Health EAP

    I can provide you with a "Superbill" to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement if I am out of network.

  • It means that I believe in collective and individual healing. I don’t just look at you in a vacuum. I recognize how systemic racism, colonial history, and family expectations impact your mental health. I prioritize your safety and agency, ensuring you never feel "pathologized" for your survival strategies.

  • Think of the first session as a "vibe check" We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in now, what your goals are, and most importantly, see if we feel like a good fit. There’s no pressure to "perform" or have all the answers—just come as you are.

  • It might feel a little new at first, but my style is more like a "real conversation" than a clinical interrogation. We’ll move at your pace. If you’re nervous, we can start by talking about your latest form of joy to get settled (like a book or game).

  • I hear this a lot from high-achievers. While venting has its place, my goal is transformation, not just talk. We use a "top-down" (CBT/DBT for immediate coping) and "bottom-up" (IFS and trauma-informed work for deep healing) approach. This means we address the symptoms keeping you awake at night while doing the deeper work to ensure they don't keep coming back.

  • There’s no "one-size-fits-all" timeline. Some clients find that a few months of skill-building is enough for them, while others prefer long-term work to unpack deeper intergenerational patterns. We will check in regularly to make sure the work still feels valuable to you.
