We’ll talk briefly about what’s going on in your life, answer your questions, and explore if we’re a good fit to support your healing journey. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, or just feeling stuck, this call is designed to give you clarity and next steps. Available for anyone in California via secure Telehealth. Let’s connect, your healing starts here.

Individual Therapy

Ready to work through anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions? Our individual therapy sessions provide a safe, supportive space to explore what’s holding you back and discover new ways to move forward. Whether you're dealing with past pain, seeking personal growth, or simply trying to feel more grounded, you’ll be met with compassion and expert guidance. We specialize in trauma recovery, attachment wounds, inner child work, and integrative spiritual healing. Sessions are available online throughout California, so you can get the support you need from the comfort of your own home.

Extended Trauma/EMDR Session

Some healing needs more room to breathe. Our 75-minute extended individual therapy sessions offer the extra time and space for deep processing, emotional breakthroughs, and integrative trauma work. Ideal for clients working through complex trauma, dissociative symptoms, or layered emotional experiences like grief, inner child healing, or identity exploration. Whether you’ve been in therapy before or this is your first time, these longer sessions allow for deeper presence and more meaningful transformation. Available online for adults across California via secure Telehealth.

Couples Therapy - Up to 90 Minutes

Couples Therapy is a 90-minute session designed for deeper relationship work when shorter sessions are not enough. This extended format gives you the space to slow down, understand what is driving the conflict, and practice new ways of communicating in real time.

Common focuses include: recurring arguments, emotional disconnection, rebuilding trust after rupture, repairing communication, navigating life transitions, intimacy concerns, and triggers rooted in past experiences. Our approach is trauma-informed and practical, with clear next steps.

Family Therapy - Up to 90 Minutes

Families are complex, beautiful, and sometimes messy. If you’re navigating parenting challenges, communication breakdowns, or emotional distance, this counseling space is designed for you. Whether you’re co-parenting, supporting a neurodivergent child, dealing with sibling conflict, or simply seeking more peace at home, we’ll work together to restore connection, trust, and emotional safety. This service is ideal for parents, caregivers, or entire family units. Offered online across California with flexible session lengths to meet your family’s unique needs.

EMDR Intensive Program

Our EMDR Intensive Program is designed to help you clear trauma, anxiety, and emotional blocks quickly and effectively without the wait of traditional weekly therapy. In just one 3-hour day, we’ll dive into targeted reprocessing using Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a proven method for healing trauma at the root. This extended format allows for deep breakthroughs, emotional relief, and rewiring old patterns in a focused, supported container. Ideal for adults dealing with PTSD, complex trauma, or high-impact life events. Available online or in-person (limited), serving clients across California.
