What should I expect in my first session?

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll explore what’s bringing you in, go over your history, and begin to get a sense of your goals. You’re welcome to share as much or as little as feels comfortable—we move at your pace, and there’s no pressure to have it all figured out.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes. We offer secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth sessions for clients across California. You can meet with us from the comfort of your own space, using a private and simple-to-access video platform.

What issues do you work with?

We work with individuals and couples navigating trauma, grief, anxiety, relationship struggles, and major life transitions. We also support clients exploring identity, purpose, and meaning. All parts of you are welcome here.

How long are sessions and how often do we meet?

Sessions are typically 60 minutes. Most clients meet weekly, especially in the beginning, but we’ll collaborate on a rhythm that feels right for your needs and goals.

I don't see my insurance. Can we still work together?

Yes. Many clients choose to work with us privately and submit for out-of-network reimbursement if eligible. We can guide you through the process or offer questions to ask your provider about coverage.

Do you offer a free consultation?

Yes. We offer a brief 15–20 minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit. You’re welcome to ask questions and get a feel for our approach before committing to ongoing sessions.

What does “somatic” or “body-based” therapy mean?

Somatic therapy honors the connection between the body and mind. We pay attention to how emotions, memories, and stress show up physically—through sensations, posture, breath, or patterns of tension—and gently work with the body as a source of insight, safety, and healing. It's not about doing anything “right,” but about learning to listen inward with compassion.
