The success of therapy depends heavily on the alchemy between the therapist and client; no matter what issue brings you to therapy, it cannot be opened up unless the relationship between the client and therapist feels safe, supportive and respectful. Establishing this relationship is at the foundation of my practice.
Therapy is a safe container where all parts of you are welcome. It is within the safety of talk therapy that one can learn to stop, reflect and connect. Therapy slows things down so they can be opened up, examined, and ultimately, healed.
I am based in Carpinteria, CA and currently offer tele-therapy sessions for residients of California. Contact me.
My current fee is $200.00 per 50 minute session. Longer sessions are available by prior arrangement and are pro-rated.
I don’t accept insurance, but can prepare a superbill each month in order for you to request reimbursement based on your mental health benefits
