How I work

One clinician for the whole picture

I treat the whole person, not a symptom — making room for everything that's affecting you, from anxiety, trauma, and sleep to the goals that matter to you, whether that's being a steadier parent, getting unstuck at work, or simply feeling more like yourself again. Here's what that looks like in practice:

Measured

We set real goals and check progress against them, so you'll see whether therapy is working — and if it stalls, I'll tell you.

Skills-based

Couples build concrete skills in sequence; individuals work through a focused plan of what matters most. Either way, you leave with more than insight — something you can actually use.

Integrated

I look at the whole picture — your history, health habits, sleep, relationships, and goals — and coordinate with your other providers when something's outside my lane, like medication.

Honest

Straight answers about your progress, including when it's time to change course.

Common questions

Frequently asked

What does therapy cost?
Individual sessions are $275 per 50-minute hour; couples are $305. No insurance is accepted — the practice is private-pay and out-of-network. A monthly superbill is available for reimbursement, and you can pay with an HSA or FSA card.
What are your hours?
Weekdays. The first session is at 9am and the last at 5:45pm.
Do you meet in person?
Yes — that's how I work. Sessions are in person, in a real office in downtown Walnut Creek. Couples therapy is in person only; for individuals, secure video is available across California when meeting in person isn't possible.
How do I get started?
Book a free 30-minute consultation through the scheduler, or call (925) 315-8205.
How do you decide if you're the right therapist for me?
The first session or two is partly about exactly that. I'll work to understand what's bringing you in and form an accurate picture of what's going on, and if what you need falls outside my areas — for example, I don't treat OCD — I'll help you find a clinician who specializes in it. I'd rather get you to the right care than keep you in the wrong room.
How long will I be in therapy?
Not forever — that's the point of tracking. Because we set goals and watch progress, you'll know when you're done, or when something isn't working and needs to change. Everyone is different and I can't predict your course, but most people and couples work with me somewhere in the range of six to nine months, and few stay longer than a year.
How do I know I can trust you?
You don't have to force it. If part of you doesn't trust me, that's worth paying attention to rather than pushing past — closing the gap between us is my job, not yours, and it's genuinely okay if we turn out not to be the right fit. There's more on my About page, including why some wariness toward a therapist can be perfectly reasonable.
