How do I know if I need therapy?

Therapy can be helpful anytime you want support managing emotions, relationships, or life transitions. Many clients seek therapy for trauma recovery, narcissistic abuse, or stress and burnout, but it’s also a space for personal growth and self-discovery.

What can I expect in the first session?

Your first session focuses on understanding your goals, exploring what brought you to therapy, and creating a safe space to share. It’s also a chance to see if my approach, which includes Internal Family Systems (IFS) or EMDR therapy, feels like a good fit.

How often should I attend therapy?

Session frequency varies based on your needs and goals. Many clients begin with weekly sessions, while others benefit from biweekly or flexible scheduling. Together, we create a plan that supports healing and growth.

Do you accept insurance or provide superbills?

I do not accept insurance; however, I can provide superbills so clients can submit claims for partial insurance reimbursement.

Do you offer online therapy in California?

Yes, I offer secure teletherapy sessions for clients across California, including Oakland and the Bay Area. Teletherapy enables you to receive support in a safe and comfortable environment. I also offer in-person therapy in Oakland.

What types of therapy do you use ?

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
