"Therapy that moves with you"
Based in the East Bay,
offering in-person, walk-and talk and online therapy sessions throughout California
Do you find yourself:
Feeling stressed and overwhelmed by everyday life
Paralyzed by constant worries about your future
Lacking the motivation and energy to enjoy the things you once loved
Feeling disconnected from your loved ones
Worried that you're damaging your relationships
Struggling to find meaning and purpose in your life
Telling yourself you should be more present, more patient, or make more time for yourself and your loved ones
Hoping to will yourself into making self-improvements, only to end up feeling like a failure
You are not alone! I've helped many clients just like you invest in their relationship with themselves and improve their connections with others. In our sessions together, you'll learn to slow down, reconnect with your core values, break free from unhelpful patterns, heal your inner self, and make lasting changes toward a healthier, happier everyday life.

Find happiness and learn to put it first
I offer in-person therapy services to individuals and couples at my office in Richmond, CA, or virtual sessions to anyone in California through a secure, confidential platform. Additionally, I offer walk-and-talk sessions in nature if you're in the Bay Area. We can even create a hybrid schedule where we sometimes meet virtually and other times in person. Whatever way works for you, I can help guide you toward the change you've been wanting in your life.

Start by scheduling a free 15-minute video consultation with me. This is a great opportunity for you to ask any questions and for me to understand what brought you to therapy. If we decide we're a good fit, we'll schedule a full 50-minute session — in-person in the East Bay or online through a secure, confidential platform. Before we meet, I'll send you an electronic intake packet to complete at your own pace.

Therapy begins with an initial session where we explore your concerns, goals, and what you hope to achieve. Over time, we build a trusting relationship — the foundation for effective therapy. Together we'll identify patterns holding you back, develop practical coping strategies, and put new skills into practice both in sessions and in daily life. As you progress, therapy shifts toward empowering you to use what you've learned independently, so you feel confident handling future challenges on your own.
-
Sessions typically last 50 minutes, though I also offer 75-minute sessions for couples working more intensively. Therapy is most effective when we meet regularly — ideally once a week. Over time, as progress is made, we may shift to biweekly sessions before concluding our work together. While I encourage clients to commit to at least six months, many have also found success with shorter-term models. The length of your journey depends entirely on your individual needs and goals.

My rates are as follows:
Individual therapy (50 minutes): $225
Couples therapy (50 minutes): $250
Couples therapy (75 minutes): $275
I provide monthly superbills for out-of-network insurance reimbursement. Please contact your insurance company to verify your out-of-network mental health benefits.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people heal from trauma, anxiety, and distressing memories. Using bilateral stimulation — such as guided eye movements — EMDR helps your brain process and reframe difficult memories, reducing their emotional charge and creating lasting relief. It is particularly effective for people who have experienced trauma, PTSD, childhood wounds, accidents, loss, or abuse. If you've tried talk therapy and felt stuck, EMDR may be a powerful next step.
