There is plenty of parking for clients in the parking lot located by the main entrance to the building.

Most Sessions are 45 Minutes. Some video sessions are 30 minutes. This is always discussed and planned for ahead of time.

The easiest way to pay is by credit, debit, HSA or FSA card. You can enter your information in my client portal and automatically be charged after each session. You can also pay by cash or check.

• Insurance companies require a “hard diagnosis” for each client, which follows them for the rest of their lives. This can impact their ability to get life insurance and so on.
• There are also regulations in the insurance world that can compromise the level of confidentiality I believe is crucial for successful therapy.
• I also want the client to experience the fastest relief possible. This often requires more frequent sessions then insurance companies are willing to pay for.
• Due to these factors, I do not accept insurance; If you would like to use your insurance and it is a PPO, I will provide you with a statement that can be used to request reimbursement.

Simply call, text, email, or use my online booking system below to set up and manage your sessions.

I work with teens (13 years old) to adults (432.4 years old).

I have a strong understanding of sexuality/gender and pride myself in creating a safe environment for all sexualities and genders. I provide individual, couple, family therapy, and everything in-between.

I believe in allowing the clients be in control of each of their sessions. I do not have a hidden agenda. I see each session as a new opportunity to address the immediate concerns and obstacles the client is experiencing. By doing this while keeping a client’s initially identified goals and outcomes in mind, I can propel clients toward reaching their goals in a timely manner.

Depends! Everyone is different! Do YOU want homework between sessions? I will give it to you! Do you HATE homework? I won’t give it to you!

• I utilize a mixture of Existential-Integative, Somatic, and Psychedlic-Assisted Therapy. I think of myself as a chef. Instead of trying to fit each person into a cookie-cutter mold, I create a recipe that incorporates numerous modalities to ensure each client is presented with the opportunity to achieve the desired results promptly.
• Most of my approaches to therapy are based on how I “show up” in the session. I believe in being an authentic person in each session and not creating a sterile/cold therapeutic environment. Have a modality you heard about and are wondering if I can provide it? ASK! I do not want to bore you with technical terms.

• I graduated with my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from John F. Kennedy University. I continue to complete advanced training in Existential-Integrative Therapy through the Existential-Humanisitc Institue. I have also completed an advanced degree in Psychedlic-Assisted Therapies and Research at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
•  I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has worked with highly motivated individuals within Silicon Valley for over a decade. I help people establish a high sense of meaning and fulfillment and excel in all areas of their life. Have further questions? I am an open book. Just ask!

• Come prepared to work! Many clients underestimate the level of work and commitment therapy entails. It is not an easy task. However, as someone who has seen countless amounts of clients achieve the “other side,” it is worth it.
• You get out of therapy what you put in. Come hungry, ready, and prepared to tackle each session. I will be there to help amplify the hard work you put in.

This is a trade secret. There would be great repercussions if I provided you with this information.

Why thanks! That is kind of you! Though I may look young, I have the lives and experiences of the thousands of clients I have come in contact with. I also have a laundry list of training and classes that have prepared me to help you and your specific need. OR…. Maybe I have figured out the greatest scientific achievement of all time… how to stay young forever…

Yes. Why would I not? Wouldn’t it be silly to promote therapeutic services to thousands of people and not take my advice?

I also continue to work with psychedelics as I believe my work will never be done. Staying active with the medicines allows me to create a more engaging and healing environment for my clients, ultimately leading to better outcomes in their therapeutic processing.

I can’t “make” anyone cry. However, I promise I will create a comfortable environment that allows you to express whatever physical expressions of emotions you need.
