Getting to the root of the matter

depth psychotherapy for those who lost themselves to others

When was the last time you

smiled, cried, or felt anger? When was the last time you felt alive? Realizing you don't know the feeling, want, or need can be incredibly disorienting. Feeling as though you don't know yourself can be an emptiness that feels inescapable.

Making sense of experiences that required you to disown yourself is most healing when witnessed by someone you find safe and trustworthy. The therapeutic relationship we build together becomes a way to bring awareness to relational wounds and an opportunity to experience something new in relationships.

Frequently asked questions

before we begin

do you offer telehealth?

Yes! I offer telehealth sessions to California residents.

do you accept insurance?

I am currently in-network with Aetnea through Headway. I am able to offer a superbill, which acts like a receipt for services. Depending on your health insurance plan, you can submit the superbill for partial reimbursement. If and how much insurance reimburses depends on your specific plan and deductible.

what is the safe and sound protocol (ssp)?

SSP is a bottom-up auditory therapy that supports your ability to resource safety when safety is available, and to engage with the felt sense of danger you may be disconnected from. This is done through music filtered to mimic the frequency of a safe, human voice. Sessions are tailored to individual nervous system responses, and listening sessions can range from 5 to 15 minutes per sitting.

how long does therapy last?

When the self has been lost or never known, the road to ending therapy means having a felt sense of and connection to who you are and to bring that person into your relationships and world. The time required to fully embody this experience varies depending on each person, because each person is wonderfully different.

do you work with dissociation?

Yes, I work closely with dissociation. I use parts language when it resonates with the person I am working with. I believe one method will not work for everyone. We come to understand what will work best for you in the relationship we build together.

what does the first session look like?

When we enter a therapist-client relationship, we enter a new dynamic. Because each person who sits across from me can never be replicated, I will also be experiencing the first session with you for the first time. Witnessing how different and simultaneously universal human existence can be is one of the reasons I love this profession.

What tends to be the same for everyone are the following phrases:
“How are you?”
“How was your week?
“I’m curious…”
“Does that sound right?”
“Tell me if I’m off…”
“Okay, so let’s start there.”

Everything else? We’ll call it jazz.

Notes from the becoming space

Do You Trust Yourself?

May 5, 2026

Oftentimes, we look at trust as an entity we give to others, yet rarely ask if we trust ourselves to the same degree. We can find ourselves looking for complete certainty in the trust we give to others, where trust becomes the mode of evading pain. This leads me to ask: “Do you trust yourself?” The answer to this question becomes varied and most often the answer is not an enthusiastic yes. It is more often a “no,” filled with shame or sadness. Then you hear the attachment wounds: I don’t want to come off too needy. They’ll think I’m
