Supporting Presence, Resilience, and Compassion with Self
I provide a client-centered and comforting therapeutic relationship, infusing theoretical approaches such as Positive Psychology, Expressive Arts Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Internal Family Systems to tailor my offerings to each client's unique experience.
I specialize in supporting teens, adults, and elders navigate the complexities of life transitions and caring for others while caring for Self.
My very first mentor, Dr. Patrick Arbore, always returned to this truth: "Connection is what binds us to life."
I see being with and caring for others as an inherent part of a healthy world. But equally important is being with and caring for the Self, so that you may continue to share your unique presence with the world.
We need you!
About Me
I believe deeply in the power of the therapeutic relationship as a foundation for healing. Therapy is a dedicated space to practice new ways of being with ourselves and others, and I provide a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore, understand, and release the patterns that no longer serve you.
I earned my Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies, where I specialized in Expressive Arts Therapy and developed a Narrative Therapy framework for a local mental health crisis line. I am a registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT) in California, Certified Care Manager (CMC) and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT).
In our work together, I integrate diverse therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique journey. Drawing upon my experience as a yoga teacher and care manager, I also like to offer and collaborate on self-care tools and resources to support you between our sessions.
Fees and Sliding Scale Support
My rate is $170 for every 50-minute session.
Though Full Circle Therapy Collective, I work with Partnership Health Plan of Sonoma County, but do not accept other insurance at this time.
Most clients begin therapy with weekly sessions and may transition to biweekly sessions after some time.
I do not offer couples or family counseling at this time, but am happy to refer you to a provider who can meet that need.
I am also able to offer a few clients (5) a lower rate per hour to ensure therapy is financially sustainable. If you are interested in receiving this support, please mention this in our initial consultation call, and I can provide more details.
