Absolutely. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming, culturally sensitive, and deeply informed by social justice principles. I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and compassionate space for people of all identities and backgrounds. My approach acknowledges and respects the diverse experiences of my clients, including the impact of systemic oppression, privilege, and intersectionality on mental health and well-being.

That being said, I am a cisgender, heterosexual woman with Hispanic, Indigenous, and Caucasian heritage who specializes in working with women. It’s important to me that you feel fully supported and seen in therapy. During a consult call, we can explore whether I am the right fit for your particular identity and needs. If I’m not the best match, I will gladly provide referrals to therapists who might be a better fit. I am committed to doing everything I can to help you find the perfect therapist for YOU.

I offer a 20-minute free consultation call to help us determine if we’re a good fit. Just like any long-term, intimate relationship, it’s important that we both feel comfortable and at ease from the start.

During this call, you’ll have the opportunity to share some background about yourself, your current concerns, and what brought you to seek therapy. I’ll briefly introduce myself and provide an overview of my approach and the therapy process.

We’ll also discuss fees, scheduling, and then check in at the end to see if we’d like to move forward with scheduling your first appointment.

Each person, relationship, and situation is unique, and every nervous system has its own pace—so there’s no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.

Many clients start to feel some relief within the first few sessions simply because they aren’t navigating life and complex issues by themselves anymore. That said, trauma therapy is often a longer process that requires commitment. Because somatic therapy works at the root rather than just managing symptoms, there’s usually more to unpack and process.

My promise to every client is to work as efficiently as possible while still honoring the pace of your nervous system—because pushing too fast can actually make things worse. My ultimate goal is to help you become resourced, stabilized, and regulated enough that you no longer feel dependent on therapy (or me).

It depends. The length of your therapy process varies based on what you’re working through, your goals, and how your system responds to the work. Therapy is collaborative, and we can only move as fast as your nervous system allows—there are no shortcuts to healing (not even with psychedelics).

Healing is a long-term commitment. Some people benefit from short-term therapy (a year or less), but many of my clients have histories of trauma that take longer to untangle. If you're looking for deep, lasting change, therapy isn’t just about showing up to sessions—it’s about what you do outside of them, too.

I do not accept insurance of any kind. To understand why, please read this blog.

Typically PPO insurance plans reimburse for a portion of “out-of-network” services. If you have out-of-network coverage, payment for services is collected upfront and I will provide you with a monthly Superbill to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. Please verify your insurance benefits directly with your provider.
