FAQ

Frequently asked questions | Therapy (California)

Is this therapy available throughout California?

Yes. I provide virtual psychotherapy to adults residing anywhere in California, including San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and surrounding areas.

What is somatic trauma therapy?

Somatic trauma therapy focuses on the nervous system and the body’s responses, not just thoughts or behaviors. This approach helps resolve patterns of anxiety, shutdown, and overwhelm that often persist despite insight-based therapy.

Do you work with complex or developmental trauma?

Yes. Much of my work is with developmental, relational, and complex trauma, including chronic people-pleasing, hyper-responsibility, and nervous-system dysregulation.

Is this therapy appropriate for high-functioning adults?

Yes. Many clients are high-performing professionals, clinicians, and medical providers who function well outwardly but feel chronically braced, anxious, or depleted.

Do you accept insurance?

No. My practice is private-pay. This allows for flexibility, depth, and a more individualized approach to care. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Reimbursement is between you and your insurance company.

How do I get started?

The first step is submitting a brief inquiry form. If it feels like a potential fit, you will be invited to schedule a consultation call.

Frequently asked questions | Coaching (Worldwide)

How is trauma-informed coaching different from therapy?

Coaching is not psychotherapy. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. Trauma-informed coaching focuses on nervous-system regulation, capacity, and performance without clinical treatment.

Who is trauma-informed coaching for?

Coaching is well-suited for high-performing adults, leaders, clinicians, and creatives who want nervous-system support without entering therapy, or who live outside of California.

Can clinicians work with you as coaches?

Yes. Many mental health professionals choose coaching for regulation, performance, and integration work rather than clinical treatment.

Is coaching available outside the United States?

Yes. Coaching is available worldwide, provided it is appropriate for your needs and circumstances.

How do I begin coaching?

You’ll start by submitting a brief inquiry form. If aligned, you’ll receive a link to schedule a consultation call.
