Holistic Therapy for Adults and Teens

Virtually throughout California

My Approach

Welcome! I provide holistic psychotherapy for adults and teens. My priority is creating a space where you feel safe and understood, so together we can get to the root of your challenges and find your authentic path forward. Whether you are facing significant changes in your life, struggling with anxiety, depression, or questioning aspects of your identity, therapy can help you harness your innate strengths and intuition to find lasting relief and fulfillment. I specialize in supporting women and LGBTQ+ adults in their 20s through periods of change and uncertainty.

My personal style is warm, affirming, and committed to understanding you as a whole person. Based on your unique needs, I weave together elements of traditional talk therapy with experiential, mindfulness-based techniques to help access the emotions that are often at the root of feeling stuck.

Therapy is most helpful when there is a genuine bond between client and therapist. I am intentional about creating meaningful relationships with my clients and hope that with me you feel seen and valued. If you are interested in working together, please request a free 15-minute consultation below. I look forward to hearing from you!

About

Originally from New York, I grew up in a mixed-race, bicultural family. Navigating my own racial and cultural identity led to an interest in psychology and the arts, and after working in fashion and public relations, I chose to pursue psychology.

I received my Master’s in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, where much of my coursework focused on LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy. I then went on to complete training in integrative psychodynamic therapy at Women’s Clinic Counseling Center and later, Early Childhood Development Associates, where I furthered my studies in attachment science and developmental psychology.

My practice is informed by my experiences as a biracial & bisexual woman and the child of an immigrant. I believe identity and culture are central to therapy and make space for this in my work.

I am a Registered Associate Marriage & Family Therapist supervised and employed by Dr. Natalie Zaragoza, LMFT, CA 115847. I am also at the Intermediate Level of the Somatic Experiencing Certification Program. Learn more about Somatic Experiencing here.

 FAQs

  • I am in-network with Cigna and can provide superbills (detailed receipt for the cost of sessions) for out-of-network clients seeking reimbursement from their insurance providers.

  • My fee is $175 per 50-minute session.

  • Currently, I am only offering sessions via telehealth. However, if it is important for you to meet your therapist in person, I am happy to arrange a one-time in-person session at my Echo Park office.

  • You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost. Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services. You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service. If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.

  • I have a limited number of sliding scale spots available, which I reserve for clients with limited resources and systemic disadvantages. Please inquire directly about sliding scale availability.

  • I ask that you please cancel 24-hours prior to your scheduled appointment to avoid being charged your full session fee.

  • I provide sessions via HIPAA-compliant video. I do not offer phone sessions at this time.
