Psychotherapy is a potentially ongoing professional relationship focused on your mental health. We discuss and process your emotions, your history, and your sense of self. I can only accept psychotherapy clients within California.

Coaching involves a time-limited professional relationship with a specific focus area. It involves goal setting, planning, and education. It is more directive than therapy and does not typically include an analysis of your history or mental health treatment. I can accept coaching clients nationwide.

I call our first 4 meetings “getting-to-know-you” sessions. In addition to the therapeutic work, during this time, we will also assess for fit.

If we decide to continue working together, we'll schedule regular follow-up appointments and continue our therapeutic work together. If either of us feels that you would be better served by another professional, I will provide you with referrals for professionals who may be a better fit for your needs.

Of course! I happily work with people of all races, ethnicities, and backgrounds

I hold firmly to the belief that psychotherapy and perinatal support should be accessible to all. This is a systemic issue, and while we hold systems accountable for the inaccessibility of care, I also believe that individual psychotherapists and birthworkers should be paid a living wage—especially those who have been socialized to be caretakers in other areas of life (namely women, femmes, Black people, and people of color).

Therapist fees are priced to account for overhead, annual licensing fees, liability insurance, sick/family leave, business taxes, and other administrative fees required for running a practice. Additionally, having fees that are commensurate with my education, experience, and expertise allows me to hold low fee and sliding scale spots for those who are low income, unemployed, or otherwise unable to afford services.

For psychotherapy services, I work with a service that submits directly to your insurance for you, allowing you to just pay your co-pay, instead of paying my full fee and waiting for reimbursements. During our intake process, I can help you verify if you have out-of-network benefits and how much your co-pay would be.

Coaching, education, and all other services are private pay.

In order to remain committed to my values of equity and accessibility, I offer a limited number of reduced-fee services. These services are primarily reserved for people who have been historically and systematically restricted from accessing equitable perinatal and mental health care.

Individual therapy sessions are 45 minutes long and typically occur on the same day and at the same time each week. Relationship therapy sessions are 60 minutes long and occur once a week or once every other week.

All other services vary in length and frequency. During our introductory call, we will discuss the best possible plans for your given situation.

I offer both online and in-person sessions out of my office at Birthland Midwifery in Oakland (419 30th Street).

I occasionally offer in-home therapy sessions in the immediate postpartum period as well. For more details on this offering, please reach out to me directly.

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. If for any reason you are unable to make your appointment and you cancel 48-hours or more in advance you will not be charged.

If you cancel with less than 48-hours notice, you will be charged the full fee for your therapy session.

More details on this policy will be discussed during our first session.

Babies 24 months and under are welcome to be present during your therapy session.
