Frequently Asked Questions

All sessions are held online, which allows me to work with clients throughout California from the comfort and privacy of their own space.

I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in the state of California, so I'm only able to work with clients who are physically located in California at the time of our sessions.

Our first session is about getting to know each other — I'll ask about what's bringing you to therapy, a bit of your history, and what you're hoping for. Just as importantly, it's a chance for you to get a feel for whether working together feels right. There's no pressure to have it all figured out.

Yes — I'm in-network with several insurance plans through Headway and Alma. I also work with clients privately, which some people prefer for the depth and flexibility it allows. You can find more detail on the Rates & Insurance page.

Yes — this is one of my primary areas of focus. I support clients with binge eating, chronic overeating, restrictive eating patterns, and anorexia, using an approach that tends to the trauma and attachment patterns often underneath these struggles.
