Therapy Services
Therapy services can be provided in both English and Spanish.
Individual Therapy
I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, major life transitions, and family or relationship patterns carried intergenerationally. Together, we will explore how your emotions, relationships, culture, identity, and past experiences influence how you understand yourself and respond to what is happening in your life today. I will support you in making sense of these connections without rushing the process or reducing your experiences to a set of symptoms. From there, we can consider what you want to change, what you want to hold onto, and how you would like to relate to yourself and others moving forward.
Couples Therapy
Many couples come to therapy feeling stuck in the same arguments, distant from one another, or unsure of how to talk about what is happening beneath the surface. Together, we will slow these moments down and identify the cycle that keeps pulling you apart. We will also explore how emotions, attachment needs, relationship histories, culture, and identity influence how each of you responds when the relationship feels strained. My role is not to decide who is right or wrong, but to help you better understand one another, communicate more openly, and strengthen the emotional connection between you.
Currently accepting new clients: Morning and afternoon telehealth appointments are available Monday through Thursday, beginning at 10:00 a.m. PT. Evening appointments are not currently available. Please contact me for specific openings.
EFT Supervision and Clinical Consultation
I offer supervision for clinicians pursuing certification in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT), as well as peer consultation for licensed therapists. These services can support case conceptualization, help clinicians tailor treatment to their clients’ unique needs, and provide space to explore clinical, ethical, and legal considerations that may arise.
My approach is attachment-focused, culturally responsive, and grounded in social justice. I pay particular attention to how culture, race, identity, power, and systemic influences shape relationships and the therapeutic process. I especially welcome consultation related to working with multicultural and interracial couples.
My experience spans child welfare, hospital social work—including inpatient and emergency settings—community mental health, and private practice.
Please contact me to discuss your current needs and schedule a consultation call.

Good Faith Estimate Notice
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 healthcare 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.

Do I have coverage for out-of-network mental health providers?
Do I have a deductible for out-of-network sessions?

What is Emotionally Focused Therapy?
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a structured therapeutic approach grounded in attachment theory, focusing on the emotional bond between partners. It aims to identify and transform negative interaction patterns into secure and lasting emotional connections. EFT emphasizes the expression and validation of emotions to foster a sense of safety and mutual understanding between partners. It is widely used for couples but can also be adapted for individuals and families. Empirical research supports EFT's effectiveness in improving relationship satisfaction and emotional well-being.

What is EMDR?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapeutic approach designed to alleviate distress associated with traumatic memories. It involves the patient recalling distressing experiences while simultaneously undergoing bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side movements. This process aims to reduce the emotional charge of the memory and help reprocess it in a more adaptive way. It is particularly effective for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but has also been applied to other mental health issues. Research supports its efficacy, showing significant reductions in symptoms of trauma and anxiety.
