Why Therapy?
I have partnered with Mentaya to help clients use their out-of-network benefits to save money on therapy. Please click the "Mentaya Out-Of-Network Benefits Checker" below to see if you qualify for reimbursement for services...
About Me
I've supported and empowered people from all walks of life in processing trauma (particularly attachment-related trauma), thoughts of suicide, existential depression, systemic injustices, general life stressors, relationship issues, those struggling with low self-worth, and more.
I began providing mental health support services to children, teens, and young adults at a South Sacramento community clinic in 2012 (where I stayed until 2016), afterward spending over seven years working for a nearby school district as a therapist in high schools, and as clinical supervisor supporting therapists, staff, and students across the district.
I would love to support you in identifying your inner strengths, personal values, and how to make practical, congruent decisions so that you can take meaningful action and move forward in life with integrity and inner peace.
Please click on the "contact me" button below if you are interested in a free 10-minute phone consultation with me to help you determine if I am the best fit for you and your needs (I will respond asap M-Th)
When you become a client, I will send you an email with the informed consent forms and an intake questionnaire attached, as well as available times to schedule your first appointment
During your intake session, we will discuss your current concerns and what you would like to get out of therapy. I will also gather as much personal information as you feel comfortable providing
After your first session, if you decide you'd like to continue to work with me, you may let me know at the end of that session, or, if you'd like to take some time to ponder, you can contact me later via email and I will send you a list of available weekly appointment times
I accept Aetna and United Healthcare insurance through Headway.
If you are not covered by Aetna or United Healthcare, please check your carrier's out-of-network benefits through Mentaya (you may be eligible for reimbursement!)...

UC Davis Students, you may be eligible for reimbursement through UCSHIP out-of-network benefits and/or the Health Equity Fund. "The UC Davis Health Equity Fund is available to help reimburse students who have experienced significant out-of-pocket expenses related to accessing physical or mental healthcare or to students who have a significant privacy concern as a dependent (e.g. sexual health services). Students can apply for financial assistance in the form of a grant for expenses between $50 and $2,500. Any funds you receive from the Health Equity Fund will be included on your 1098-T tax form. Please consult with a tax professional for any tax related questions."
