Therapy Services
I am a licensed therapist in the state of California, verified by Psychology Today.
I am currently accepting referrals to my private practice. I do offer a sliding scale rate depending on income and life circumstances so please contact me directly for more information.
I am also available for short term work, including with family members/parents of trans identified teens and adults.
Therapy is a form of self-care, and just like other self care practices, there is a fee involved to see someone accredited, licensed, and experienced. However, I do offer sliding scale rates, since I want my services to be affordable and accessible.
What is therapy for?
Therapy is a way to create positive change by helping a person lessen the symptoms that are getting in the way of having the most healthy, satisfying life possible. These symptoms can manifest as anxiety, depression, and general unhappiness with the way one's life is going, as well as finding that you are having unsatisfying interpersonal relationships or poor communication with friends, loved ones, or at work. Therapy can also help to work through thinking about major life decisions with an unbiased, neutral, caring person, who will help you develop the self esteem and courage to empower you in creating the most authentic life possible.
How does therapy help?
Therapy helps by providing a judgement free zone, and a place of safety, where a person can talk to a trained professional who can help them make sense of what is happening in their life. The insight gained from this collaborative experience can lead to better communication, improved insight, and lessening of symptoms for many people in their everyday lives. Most MFT's like myself are trained to help people create more satisfying relationships with other people, build better self-esteem, and work on goals you have which may have seemed out of your reach. Couples and families often benefit from a neutral, nonjudgmental person helping them improve communication and to build healthier, more supportive relationships.
Therapy methods I use
I practice from a primarily psychodynamic perspective, with some aspects of other modalities mixed in. This is often referred to as "eclectic" by many therapists today.
How do I start therapy?
If you are interested in therapy, please e-mail me to begin the process. It is a big step to take and I understand that it may feel difficult. I can answer any initial questions or concerns you have, via e-mail or by phone (whichever is more comfortable for you) and if you are interested, we can agree to meet for an initial session.
Rates:
I believe therapy should be affordable for those who seek it out and genuinely wish to make positive change happen in their lives. As such, I have priced my services lower than many other similarly qualified practitioners.
