My approach is relational psychodynamic, which means we focus on the healing power of relationships—both in your life and within therapy itself. Therapy isn’t just about insight; it’s about experiencing new ways of relating that foster healing and personal growth.

In addition to relational psychodynamic work, I integrate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and somatic practices such as breathwork, body scans, and grounding exercises. These tools help you develop greater awareness, flexibility, and resilience in responding to challenges.

My training includes extensive experience in psychodynamic theory and practice, which allows me to bring a deep understanding of both relational dynamics and psychodynamic principles to our work together. I’m also a Steering Committee member with the Coalition for Clinical Social Work at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, where I’ve co-taught a course on psychodynamic therapy.

1. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation if you live in California or Texas.

2. I’ll text you a booking link.

3. We chat to see if we’re a good fit.

4. If we move forward, I’ll send consent forms.

5. We schedule your first session and get started.

I work with people on a weekly basis. Over time, and based on mutual agreement and availability, we may decide to reduce sessions to twice a month if it’s a good fit.

The length of therapy depends on what brings you in, the changes you’re hoping for, and life events that may come up along the way. Some people feel a sense of relief or clarity early on, while deeper, long-term work can take more time—especially when exploring patterns in relationships, behavior, or self-understanding. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we will regularly check in to ensure it continues to support your needs and goals.

My standard fee is $200 per 50-minute session. I accept payment via HSA/FSA, credit card, and other major payment methods.

I currently accept the following insurances in Texas: United, Aetna. For all other insurances and California, you may have out-of-network benefits, meaning your insurance may reimburse you for a portion of our session cost. To make this process easier, I’ve partnered with Thrizer. With Thrizer, you only pay your copay upfront, instead of covering the full session fee and waiting for reimbursement. During our intake process, I’ll help you verify your out-of-network benefits and estimate your co-insurance.

48-hour cancellation/rescheduling policy: Cancellations or rescheduling with less than 48 hours' notice, or no-shows (15+ minutes late), will be charged the full session fee. One "free" late cancellation allowed annually. While I understand emergencies arise, short-notice changes impact my schedule, livelihood, and ability to support others.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. Under the 2021 No Surprises Act (effective 1/1/2022), health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical services, including psychotherapy. 
 

• You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency services. 

• Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service. You can also ask your health care provider, or any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. 

• If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. 

• Make sure to save a copy or take a picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
