Frequently Asked Questions

  • A good fit often feels like a sense of relief or curiosity rather than pressure. If you’re looking for therapy that works with the nervous system, honors pacing, and integrates both body-based and insight-oriented approaches, this may be a good match. A brief consultation can also help you decide.

  • I offer virtual therapy for adults anywhere in California and have limited availability for in-person sessions in Pasadena and West Hollywood. I’m in network with several insurance plans and also offer private pay. Full details are available on the Pricing & Information page.
