Getting Started
Choosing the right therapist is critical to getting the support you need to address the challenges in your life. To that end, I provide a free, no obligation, half-hour consultation with prospective clients so we can learn a little more about each other. Together we will decide if I am the right person to help you achieve your therapy goals, and if so, we'll figure out an initial meeting schedule to get started on the work you want to do.

Individual therapy with adult clients
The typical therapy client meets with me for one hour every week, but I will work with you to determine what kind of schedule will best meet your needs. I will also check in with you regularly so we can make adjustments as needed. I offer flexible scheduling that includes evening and weekend appointments.
​
Support while your therapist is away
No one can replace your current therapist. And it can be helpful to know that someone is available when your regular therapist is away. We can schedule a check in session, or you can reach out to me if something unexpected comes up and you feel it cannot wait.
​
Please note: If you feel you are having a psychiatric emergency, I am not the one to call. You should call or go to an emergency room or crisis center where you can get immediate care. Dial 911 for assistance.
Support For Therapists
Coverage for your clients when you are away
Therapists need time off. Truly recharge on your vacation knowing that your clients have support if needed. Focus on that expensive conference without distraction. I know from experience you don’t stop thinking about your clients just because you are not in your office, and it can be tempting to remain available to clients you worry about the most.
​
Clinical Supervision/ongoing support
I am licensed in the state of California, and meet the BBS requirements to provide clinical supervision hours toward licensing. I also provide ongoing supervisory support to licensed clinicians.
Clinical consultation
Have a particular case that’s got you stumped? Need to talk through your internal response to an unusual situation? I offer a non-judgmental sounding board to muddle through the messiness of clinical and ethical dilemmas.
​
Supervision for supervisors
Supervising clinicians can be stressful. You want to be available and supportive, and you know QM, HR and the Risk Management team would be alarmed at the situation. You need someone to talk to who is not invested in your agency, who can listen without judgment and support you to think through tough decisions and sticky situations.
​
You do not have to leave the comfort of your own home to access support.
Secure, encrypted software makes it possible for us to meet privately
via our computers or phones at any time from any location with internet access.
Please Note: As a California-licensed social worker, I only provide services to California residents. I do NOT provide in-person services, and may not actually be present in the state of California when we meet.
