Therapeutic Approach
My work is rooted in a person-centered approach, guided by empathy, mindfulness, and the belief that healing begins with feeling truly heard. We move at a pace that feels right for you, letting the work unfold naturally and without pressure.
I draw on evidence based practices, including mindfulness and somatic techniques as well as CBT, to offer both practical skills and deeper insight. My style is collaborative, conversational, and reflective. Some sessions might focus on coping tools, while others explore emotions, patterns, or your past. We follow what feels important that day. Mindfulness is woven throughout my work because it creates space for presence, curiosity, and self compassion. It helps you slow down enough to notice what is happening inside, understand it more clearly, and respond with intention.
If you are seeking psychedelic preparation or integration, I offer a grounded and ethical space to explore intentions, emotions, and what matters most to you. Preparation focuses on education, clarity, and readiness. Integration is not just about understanding your experience, it is about supporting what emerged and helping you bring those parts of yourself into daily life in a meaningful way.
Above all, therapy with me is tailored to you. Your story, values, identity, and lived experience shape the work we do together.
Services
Individual Therapy
$130
A supportive space to process life’s challenges, build coping skills, and explore patterns with compassion and clarity. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you, whether you’re navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, caregiver stress, or grief.
My approach is person-centered and rooted in empathy, integrating mindfulness and evidence-based practices to meet your unique needs. I offer online therapy for adults located in California, Florida, and Colorado through a secure telehealth platform.
At this time, I am a private-pay practice and do not accept insurance directly. Superbills are available upon request for clients who wish to seek potential reimbursement from their insurance provider.
Psychedelic Integration
$150
Integration sessions offer a supportive, non-judgmental space to reflect on and process experiences with non-ordinary states of consciousness. Whether you are exploring a recent psychedelic journey or preparing for one, we may work together to explore the insights that emerged, understand how they connect with your life, and practice ways to carry them forward in a grounded and meaningful way.
My approach is guided by empathy, presence, and curiosity, creating a space for reflection, growth, and deepening self-understanding.
Please note: Integration sessions are private pay only and are not billable to insurance. These sessions do not include the use, provision, or supervision of any psychedelic substances. I provide talk-based support only, and sessions are held while you are sober through a secure telehealth platform. If you are seeking help to make sense of past or planned experiences, you are welcome to reach out.
Consultation for Clinicians
$100
Consultation offers a reflective space for therapists and social workers to explore their professional experiences, navigate career shifts, and receive supportive guidance from someone who has walked a similar path. These sessions center on professional growth, perspective, and maintaining balance in your work. Common themes include burnout, compassion fatigue, travel social work, and navigating major life or career transitions.
Please note: Consultation is not clinical supervision and does not fulfill supervision requirements for licensure. These sessions are private pay only and are not billable to insurance.
