FAQ

Where is your office located?
My office is in downtown Sebastopol.  However, due to the pandemic, I will not be seeing clients in person for the foreseeable future.  I am doing video and phone sessions.
How long is a typical session?
Sessions are around 50 – to – 55 minutes.
Do you take insurance?
Currently, I have some slots open for Partnership/Beacon insurance members.
What is your hourly fee?
My fee is $130 per 50-minute session.
Why should I pay for therapy?

I believe you are worth it. You can think of therapy similarly to how one would think of preventative medicine. Taking care of yourself mentally and emotionally is an investment in yourself and your future. 

Emotional health affects everything from your relationships to your physical health.

What type of therapy do you do?

I consider myself a process-oriented therapist who believes in the body/mind/spirit connection. 

Helping clients achieve self-acceptance and self-compassion is one of the foundations of my work. I also highly value staying in the present moment and working with whatever shows up in our sessions while also delving into underlying motivations and unconscious patterns.

With whom do you work best?
I love to work with people who are willing to be genuine and open. Looking at your stuff honestly is scary, but I find that facing your fears is what ultimately creates the greatest shifts. I won’t push you past what you are ready for, though!
Are you LGBTQIA friendly?
Yes!  I am inclusive and accepting of all diversity.
Are you going to make me do homework?

I’m not going to make you do anything. I usually encourage my clients to practice self-care or think about something we’ve discussed or are working on.

I might suggest a book to read or podcast to listen to. There is no expectation that you do it though.
