How we can work together.

If what’s on your mind is mostly about you, your patterns, your history, your inner world, individual therapy is usually the better starting point. If the friction lives mainly between you and a partner, couples therapy lets us work with the relationship directly. Some people do both, at different times or even in the same season. If you’re not sure, the free consultation is a good place to talk it through.

I’m currently a private-pay practice. Many of my clients use out-of-network benefits through their PPO plans, and I provide a monthly superbill you can submit for reimbursement; many receive 50 to 80 percent back this way. I also accept HSA and FSA cards.

I work with adult individuals, couples, and teens. Each has its own rhythm. Teens are seen without a parent present in the room, though I stay in communication with parents in a way that respects the teen’s privacy and developmental stage.

Every service begins the same way: a free 15-minute phone consultation, so we can talk about what’s bringing you in and get a sense of whether working together feels right. From there, we’ll find a rhythm and format, in-person in Newport Beach or Fullerton, or telehealth anywhere in California, that fits your life.
