IN-PERSON AND ONLINE COUNSELING SERVICES IN CALIFORNIA

Stress-resistant, authentic lives are created through evidence-based healing and spiritual fulfillment.

My holistic counseling style includes both, so you can cultivate ease, joy, and resilience you’ll carry all throughout life.

This isn’t your first stop on the healing journey.

This isn’t your first stop on the healing journey.

You’ve read self-help books and tried mindfulness practices. Maybe
you’ve even been to therapy before. But nothing seems to make a
change that sticks.

And although you rationally know better, you can’t help but wonder if you’re somehow broken.

I’m here to tell you that you’ve been on the right track all along. In
fact, I’m willing to bet you’ve already come further than you give yourself credit for!

But you were missing a piece – and that’s why
I approach healing a little differently.

The truth is, it’s hard to heal when your logical and spiritual sides are at odds

You’ve heard of your left and right brain – how the logical and emotional sides of your mind work together.

Just like you’d never shut down your right brain and use only the left, you shouldn’t focus on science-based healing at the expense of the spirituality that speaks to your soul – or vice versa!

By consistently practicing both sides of healing, you’ll learn to lead with your heart and accomplish your goals; provide for yourself and connect deeply with our beautiful world.  

In other words, you’ll find a calm and fulfilling way to live that’s sustainable because it aligns with all of you.

In our in-person or online counseling sessions,
you’ll find:

Guidance towards the right wellness routine for you, and accountability to consistently
practice it until you see results (even when life seems too busy).

• A space that’s safe and calm enough for all sides of the real you to express themselves (even
the parts you’ve learned to keep hidden).

A balanced take on healing — one that acknowledges the power of evidence-based treatment
and ancient spiritual traditions (because using one without the other is only half the equation).

Rates & Payments

“But how does payment work? And do you take insurance?”

I’m so glad you’re asking this question – it means you think this style might be a fit for you – but I know how tricky paying for
therapy can be!

I’m an out-of-network provider, which allows me to follow a holistic approach.
Each 60-minute session costs $175.

Insurance companies have very specific requirements for therapy they’ll reimburse. If you’re feeling drawn to a non-traditional
therapy experience, the practitioners you align with will almost certainly be out-of-network (like me!).

If holistic therapy isn’t a priority and traditional therapy sounds fine to you, I totally respect that! There’s no “right” and “wrong”
way to meet your full spectrum of needs.

But if you think we’re a match and the price is holding you back….

Many of my clients are able to get 50-80% of the cost reimbursed through their out-of-network insurance benefits!

A lot of people don’t know they have these benefits, so check your policy! If you’re not sure how, I’m happy to talk you through
it in our free consultation.

Payment ➤

You can pay for your services in a quick, easy, and secure manner from the comfort of your own phone through the Ivy Pay app. You will receive an invitation from me to download the app and add a debit or credit card to your account prior to beginning your sessions. Payment is due on the day of service.

Cancellation Policy ➤

If you are unable to attend a session, please make sure you cancel at least 24 hours beforehand. Otherwise, you may be charged for the full rate of the session.

Good Faith Estimate ➤

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.

Close your eyes for a moment. What would a
high-vibrational life look like for you? Maybe…

• You live every day with a clear head because you’re sleeping soundly and following a consistent physical and spiritual self-care routine.

• You get butterflies in your stomach when you think about your big career, education, or lifestyle goals because you know you can manifest them.

• When you hit a goal, you treat yourself to a special dinner, wellness treatment, or adventure, because you’re seriously proud of your win.

• You’ve (seemingly magically) opened up time to travel with your partner, dance at festivals with your best friends, or take weekly hikes with your pup.

• You’ve fearlessly let go of relationships and habits that don’t serve you.

• When an unexpected stressor pops up, you’re confident you can roll with the punches and calmly make hard decisions.

You really can create that reality – and I can’t wait to help guide you.

The Process

Step 1: Free intro call

When I say “counseling services in California” I mean the whole state, so don’t hesitate to reach out, wherever you are! After you contact me, we’ll hop on a casual 15-minute call. We’ll talk about your situation, your goals, payment, and scheduling. You’ll also have a chance to ask any questions you might have.

Step 2: Sign & schedule

If we’ve decided we’re a good match, I’ll send over your onboarding paperwork. Once that’s done, your first appointment is confirmed!

Step 3: Deep intake

Our first session is an intake – it’s all about setting a foundation so I can customize future sessions to you and your goals. We’ll dive deep into your backstory and clarify what you’re hoping to create through therapy in all areas of your life.

Step 4: Let’s get to work!

We’ll meet once a week for 60 minutes (keeping it frequent helps make meaningful change). Every session starts with blank space so you can bring up whatever is calling to you that day. If you don’t have a focus in mind, I’ll invite you to learn new skills that support your goals.

You already have everything you need within you. But accessing your
innate power takes intentional work.

With a safe space to explore your inner world and proven techniques to reduce the noise and chaos, you can find what you’re seeking.
